(Jewish Group) Outrage over Corbyn's Rosh Hashanah video with activist who said Kaddish for Hamas

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

A Rosh Hashanah video by Jeremy Corbyn featuring a left-wing activist who led a public Jewish prayer for dead Hamas members during the 2018 Gaza border conflict has sparked outrage.

In the video, which sidelines the festival's central message of self-reflection and repentance, the opposition leader visits a greengrocer in his Islington constituency in London, where he discusses the Jewish New Year symbols of honey and apples as a way to promote Labour’s “Green Industrial Revolution” programme.

Entering the shop alongside Mr Corbyn is Rob Abrams, a Jewish anti-Zionist activist who in May 2018 led a Kaddish in Parliament Square for the 62 Palestinians killed on the Israel-Gaza border, at least 50 of whom were Hamas operatives.


Mr Abrams tells Mr Corbyn: “The apple is the fruit of the Earth.. and it brings us back to one of the most important elements of Judaism, the guardianship of the Earth.”
