Corbyn ‘not involved’ in terrorist wreath-laying

SIR – Asked about a memorial ceremony for individuals behind the group that in 1972 carried out the Munich Olympic massacre (report, August 14), Jeremy Corbyn said: “I was present at that wreath-laying, I don’t think I was actually involved in it.”

He has been not “involved” in the exercise of any moral judgment throughout his political career.

SIR – Although neither a Labour supporter nor a fan of Mr Corbyn’s policies, I do think he is a man of peace, and find it hard to argue with his view about engaging with all sides in conflict.

SIR – Mr Corbyn would have us believe that he’s worked ceaselessly to enable peace and, in regard to attending a wreath-laying for Munich terrorists, who murdered and tortured Israeli athletes, he says: “I was there because I wanted to see a fitting memorial to everyone who’s died in every terrorist incident everywhere, because you have to end it. You cannot pursue peace by a cycle of violence.”

I’d like to ask if, in his pursuit of “wanting to see a fitting memorial to everyone who’s died in every terrorist incident everywhere”, he’s ever offered to lay a wreath for, or even visit, any of the Israeli or Jewish victims of the atrocities committed by the very people the death of whom he does show respect.

SIR – Jeremy Corbyn was “not involved”. President Bill Clinton “did not inhale”.
