I missed this latest Jeremy Corbyn revelation from Friday:
'JEREMY Corbyn paid tribute to a disgraced former UN official who blamed the Boston bombings on Israel, The Sun can reveal.
The Labour leader sat on a Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) panel at an event honouring Professor Richard Falk in 2013.
The American worked as a special rapporteur with the UN Human Rights Council, and claimed that US foreign policy - including Israel - was to blame for the Boston Marathon bombing.
Professor Falk, who also said America was behind an "apparent cover up" of 9/11, wrote in a 2013 blog post after the attack that left three dead, that the "American global domination project is bound to generate all kinds of resistance".
He went on to say in his post on the "marathon murders": "As long as Tel Aviv has the compliant ear of the American political establishment, those who wish for peace and justice in the world should not rest easy."
And he claimed that "in some respects the United States has been fortunate not to experience worse blowbacks."
In an official account of the event Corbyn attended as a panellist, the evening is described as a "tribute" to Professor Falk "for the tremendous service and commitment over the years for the just cause of the Palestinians."
At the function, Professor Falk claimed that Israel had a policy of "ethnically cleansing" Palestinians.
The PRC described Professor Falk as a "moral authority" and claimed that they were "extremely proud to have hosted such an event".
Professor Falk courted controversy in 2011 when he posted an anti-Semitic cartoon on his personal blog, showing a dog wearing a Jewish skullcap and urinating on a figure of justice and a bloody skeleton.'
Plenty more in Friday's Sun
