Jeremy Corbyn harassed by pro-Israeli group in London
LONDON (AA) – British MP Jeremy Corbyn was harassed by a group of pro-Israeli protesters outside the venue of an anti-racism conference.
The incident took place when Corbyn, a prominent former Labour Party leader, was about to enter the building.
Some members of the group approached him, shouting and accusing him of antisemitism ahead of his speech to a panel on racism and antisemitism.
Security stepped in to prevent a skirmish.
Later, barricades were erected between the venue and the pro-Israeli protesters, who were holding a banner saying: “Stop the lies. There is no genocide in Gaza.”
In its ongoing war on Gaza, Israel has killed nearly 44,000 people and injured over 103,000 others, most of them women and children, while leaving the enclave all but uninhabitable and cutting off most food, water, medicine, and humanitarian aid.
Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
Corbyn addressed the attendees in a panel titled: “After Trump wins: Resisting the rise of the international far-right — Opposing racism Islamophobia & antisemitism.”
