He stood next to leader linked to rabbi killing
THE Labour leader shared a platform with a senior member of a group who murdered a British rabbi, it emerged last night.
Jeremy Corbyn stood next to Maher al-Taher – the exiled leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – at a ceremony in 2014.
A month after they were pictured together, Taher’s group claimed responsibility for a terror attack which saw four rabbis slaughtered in Jerusalem.
One victim was Avraham Shmuel Goldberg,
8, who was born in Liverpool. His widow Brianna Goldberg told The Times: ‘Jeremy Corbyn should absolutely not be associating with men like that. They kill to satisfy their political needs. He needs to come to Israel to see how things really are.’
The PFLP had been noted as a terrorist organisation by the EU for two years prior to the meeting.
Following the synagogue attack, the group said: ‘No place in Jerusalem should be safe so long as the Palestinian people are not safe.’
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn told The Times: ‘He is, of course, completely opposed to attacks on civilians.’
