"The politics of Jeremy Corbyn, elected by a landslide Saturday to lead Britains Labour Party after its defeat at the polls last May, are part of the global revolt against corporate tyranny. He had spent his long career as a pariah within his countrys political establishment. But because he held fast to the socialist ideals that defined the old Labour Party, he has risen untarnished out of the ash heap of neoliberalism. His integrity, as well as his fearlessness, offers a lesson to Americas self-identified left, which is long on rhetoric, preoccupied with accommodating the power elitesespecially those in the Democratic Partyand very short on courage.
Jeremy Corbyn, who supports negotiations with Hamas and Hezbollah and once invited members from those organizations to visit Parliament, has called for Israels leaders to be put on trial for war crimes against the Palestinians."
I will not support a politician who sells out the Palestinians and panders to the Israel lobby any more than I will support a politician who refuses to confront the bloated military and arms industry or white supremacy and racial injustice."

Since running for leader Mr Corbyn has had to distance himself from a series of anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers he shared a platform with during his years as a backbencher and anti-war campaigner.
Among the figures he has been linked with are Paul Eisen, a Holocaust denier, Raed Salah, who has been accused of virulent anti-Semitism, and the Muslim extremist Dyab Abou Jahjah.
