Jeremy Corbyn’s latest calls for “negotiations for peace” and “a political settlement” in response to Assad gassing to death his own people are part of a pattern whereby the UK Labour Party leader calls for “dialogue” with murderers he likes, as when he called the Hezbollah terrorist group his “friends” with whom the UK should promote “peace, understanding and dialogue.”

In marked contrast, however, when Israel has taken military action to defend itself against Hamas terrorist attacks and rockets fired at civilian population centers, Corbyn’s response is not to call for negotiations, but rather to demands sanctions and “justice” against Israel. As shown below, he has never called for sanctions or justice in regard to Syria.

For Assad and Hezbollah: “negotiations,” “diplomatic efforts,” “dialogue”

The horrific deaths and injuries in Douma point to a chemical attack which must be fully investigated by the UN and those responsible held to account. The need to restart real negotiations for peace and a political settlement in Syria could not be more urgent. — Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) April 8, 2018

Hundreds of thousands of Syrians have already been killed and millions displaced. The Government must take a diplomatic lead to negotiate a ceasefire in the conflict. — Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) April 14, 2018

Meanwhile, Corbyn vehemently opposed sanctions on Iran, from whose state-sponsored PressTV he accepted 20,000 British pounds:

Corbyn calls for “justice” against Israel:

Historic opportunity to show recognition of the rights, justice and needs of Palestinian people. US, Quartet and UK out of step with history — Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) September 24, 2011

The killing and wounding by Israeli forces of civilians demonstrating for Palestinian rights in Gaza is appalling. The UK Government must make its voice heard on the urgency of a genuine settlement for peace and justice. — Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) March 31, 2018



Yet in seven years of massacre and genocide by Bashar al-Assad, Corbyn has apparently never tweeted for “justice” in Syria:
