The leader of the Labour Party in the UK is Jeremy Corbyn. In the last election, Labour nearly pulled off an upset equivalent to Trump beating Clinton. The Conservatives' hold on power just barely survived. Since then, Labour has been hit with rather constant charges of anti-Semitism, much of it directed at Corbyn himself. So far, he's managed to avoid major damage on that subject, but now something new has surfaced which may cause all manner of damage control to fail. Let me explain:
Some years back, the charge was made that Corbyn had attended a ceremony in Tunisia to honor the terrorists who killed members of the Israeli Olympic team in an attack in Munich in 1972. Corbyn denied this and the debate died out. Now, the Daily Mail has published pictures it found that show Corbyn at the ceremony in front of the graves of the terrorists in Tunisia. That means that Corbyn attended an event to honor terrorists who killed members of the Israeli Olympic team. It also means that Corbyn has been lying about his earlier denials.
There's no way to justify attending an event to honor any terrorist, especially one who killed many innocent civilians. For Corbyn, it's even worse because it confirms both his dishonesty and his anti-Semitism.
