And so it goes. Corbyn received £20,000 for appearing on Iran's English language Press TV. "I was able to raise a number of human rights issues, not just in Iran but other countries as well," he says, by way of justification. He defended then-Anglican vicar Stephen Sizer, notorious for strident anti-Zionism, against charges of anti-Semitism: "Such criticism," Corbyn wrote, "is part of a wider pattern of demonizing those who dare to stand up and speak out against Zionism." He publicly praised as "a voice that must be heard" the Islamist preacher Raed Salah, who has said Jews used gentile blood for religious purposes.'
What are the chances of the BBC reporting any of these inconvenient facts about Jeremy Corbyn's somewhat questionable history? Absolutely nil is the answer as for the BBC protecting Jeremy Corbyn is more important than fighting antisemitism. What's interesting is wondering how many people at the BBC have similar views on 'fighting' antisemitism as Jeremy Corbyn. The BBC's anti Israel attitude, as revealed by the Balen Report, like that of so many on the left of British politics links to antisemitism.
