Corbyn claims Israel controls speeches made by British MPs, in remarks slammed as 'anti-Semitic' per Daily Mail Online

This Daily Mail report http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6105741/Corbyn-claims-Israel-controls-speeches-British-MPs-remarks-slammed-anti-Semitic.html begins thus:

'Jeremy Corbyn claimed that Israeli officials control the speeches made by British MPs, in bizarre comments that have been called an 'anti-Semitic conspiracy theory' which 'casts Jews as sinister manipulators', MailOnline can reveal.

The remarks were captured on video in 2010, at a meeting of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) in London. In a speech about the shooting of Turkish activists at sea by the Israeli commandos, the Labour leader said: 

'[British MPs] all turned up [to the debating chamber] with a pre-prepared script. I'm sure our friend Ron Prosor (the Israeli ambassador) wrote it.

'Because they all came up with the same key words. It was rather like reading a European document looking for buzz-words.

'And the buzz-words were, "Israel's need for security". And then "the extremism of the people on one ship". And "the existence of Turkish militants on the vessel". 

'It came through in every single speech

MailOnline has examined the transcript of the debate in question and could find no evidence that any of Mr Corbyn's words were mentioned by MPs.'

Has anyone considered that Jeremy Corbyn was only being ironic in his speech, we Jews / Zionists are very poor at picking up on irony.
