Corbyn says he learned a lot at Seder of group that wants Israel disposed of

Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the UK Labour party, faced sharp criticism Tuesday from some of his own lawmakers for attending a Passover event hosted by a Jewish far-left group that has dismissed claims of anti-Semitism in Labour as “faux-outrage” and called for Israel to be “disposed of.”

An unapologetic Corbyn said he had “learned a lot” at the event.

....and welcome Corbyn engaging with them as a start of dealing with Labour's problems on this subject. However, Jewdas are very pro-Corbyn, and Jeremy Corbyn really needs to look beyond his own echo chamber towards mainstream Judaism if he wants to deal with this problem properly.
