...AS HE’S LINKED TO THIRD HATE-FILLED ONLINE GROUP

-

THE Labour leader was a member of a third Facebook group riddled with prejudice against Jews and Israel, it emerged last night.

Jeremy Corbyn joined the Labour Party Supporter group seven years ago. The page is awash with antiSemiti­c comments, references to ‘Zionist scum’ and conspiracy theories linking Israel and the Islamic State terror group. One post labels Labour MP Stella Creasy a ‘Zionist terrorist-supporting traitor’.

The group also features an offensive graphic about a ‘solution’ to the Middle East problem. The post suggests that Israel should be relocated to the US.

It was revealed earlier this month that Mr Corbyn had been a member of two other Facebook groups which feature anti-Semitic comments. Screenshot­s show he was a member of the Palestine Live group until around the time he became Labour leader in 201 .

He was also a member of the History of Palestine Group which features anti-Semitic comments about the Rothschild family.

A spokesman for Mr Corbyn, who is no longer a member of the Labour Party Supporter group, said the Labour leader did not see the antiSemiti­c content, adding: ‘Jeremy has never posted in the group, did not follow its content and was not an active participan­t.’
