CAA complains to Parliamentary Commissioner after it emerges that Jeremy Corbyn’s trip to honour antisemitic Black September terrorists was not declared in parliamentary register per Campaign Against Antisemitism

Another piece at Antisemitism UK https://antisemitism.uk/caa-complains-to-parliamentary-commissioner-after-it-emerges-that-jeremy-corbyns-trip-to-honour-antisemitic-black-september-terrorists-was-not-declared-in-parliamentary-register/ that ratchets up the pressure on the Labour Party leader, and BBC darling, Jeremy Corbyn.


'Campaign Against Antisemitism has submitted a complaint to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards after receiving reports that Jeremy Corbyn's trip to Tunisia in 2014 was not declared in Parliament's Register of Interests.

... 

Mr Corbyn said that the trip, during which he laid a wreath at the grave of antisemitic Black September terrorists and attended a conference at which a senior Hamas member outlined plans for "magnificent" violence, was at the invitation of a Tunisian politician.

... 

Mr Corbyn has a long history of receiving donations from people with links to extremism, including some who appear to be aligned with Hamas.

In addition to our new complaint to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, we have also referred the Labour Party to the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

Stephen Silverman, Director of Investigations and Enforcement at Campaign Against Antisemitism, said: "The public needs to know who paid for Jeremy Corbyn's trip to honour the antisemitic Black September terrorists. He has a track record of receiving donations from people with close links to terrorist organisations and extremists, and if he received funds which he has not declared for this trip then that needs to be investigated. If he paid for such a trip himself, then that would be extremely disturbing, but if some other entity paid for the trip, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards must tell the public who is pulling his strings."'

Not a word about this on the BBC who would lap up any accusations of Islamophobia from the likes of Tell Mama. The BBC are complicit in the rise of antisemitism in the UK and must be held to account.
