Another day, another report of Jeremy Corbyn's unsavoury associations.
'Jeremy Corbyn held a private meeting with a Holocaust denier in Parliament and failed to disclose it when quizzed by a Home Affairs select committee inquiry into anti-Semitism, MailOnline can reveal.
The meeting with Deir Yassin Remembered (DYR), run by Holocaust denier and notorious anti-Semite Paul Eisen, took place in 2014, one year before Mr Corbyn was elected Labour leader.
When giving evidence to the select committee in 2016, Mr Corbyn admitted attending public DYR events but claimed to have stopped when he learned of its leader's views.
He made no mention of a private meeting in Parliament just two years before. Mr Eisen has been open about his Holocaust denial since at least 2005.
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign, of which Mr Corbyn is a patron, disavowed Mr Eisen and DYR in 2007 due to Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism. The group's co-founder, Tony Greenstein, publicised the decision in an article in the Guardian.
'Participation in DYR is incompatible with being a member of PSC,' he wrote. 'You cannot oppose racism against the Palestinians and turn a blind eye to anti-Semitism.'
The Labour leader continued to attend DYR public events for a further six years, however, and is today exposed as having met privately with them in Parliament a year later.'
The BBC's willingness to protect Jeremy Corbyn by not reporting most of the slew of antisemitism allegations in recent months is little short of disgusting.
Why should any British Jew pay the BBC TV Licence Fee whilst that antisemitic organisation works to get an antisemitic Labour Party leader elected Prime Minister?
