This Daily Mail article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6087783/Jeremy-Corbyn-said-British-Zionists-no-sense-English-irony.html has more of the same, here's an interesting part:
'The Labour leader made the comments at a conference at Friends House in Euston. The event was advertised online by Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades, which is designated a terrorist group by Britain, the EU, the United States and other countries.
In one of the speeches, made by 9/11 conspiracy theorist Alan Hart, 'Zionism' was described as a 'cancer at the heart of international affairs'. It was also called a 'monster' and compared to Nazi Germany.
The programme of speakers included a range of anti-Semites, homophobes and conspiracy theorists.
Several were connected to Hamas. One called for attacks on the Royal Navy in the past, and led a boycott of Holocaust Memorial Day.
In addition, a number have been formerly associated with the Labour leader, or supported by him.
One listed speaker was Ibrahim Hewitt, who wrote a pamphlet in 1994 branding homosexuality a 'great sin' comparable to paedophilia and incest, which should be 'severely punished'. The pamphlet was most recently reprinted in 2004.
Speaking at a pro-Palestinian event in East London in February 2013, Corbyn called him a 'very good friend'.
Another speaker, Reverend Stephen Sizer, was later banned from social media after suggesting that Israel was behind the 9/11 attack on the twin towers.
Corbyn wrote a letter defending him, saying he was 'under attack' by a pro-Israeli smear campaign.'
Associating with antisemites and homophobes, but don't expect a word about the friends of Jeremy Corbyn on the antisemitic, according to at least one of the IHRA examples, BBC.
