BRENDAN O'NEILL: Jeremy Corbyn may be gone, but the Hamas terror group still has many friends inside Labour

As Labour bigwigs burble from the platform at this week’s conference in Liverpool, I want you to remember this: Just three years ago, this party was led by a man who once called Hamas his ‘friends’.

The gravity of this cannot be understated. In 2009 Jeremy Corbyn cosied up to Hamas, a known Islamic terrorist group. The group has now killed more than 900 Israelis since its terrible attack started on Saturday.

Corbyn is on the record as saying Hamas, who have now massacred festival-goers, raped young women, kidnapped grandmothers and spat on the dead bodies of Jews over recent days, were ‘dedicated towards the good of the Palestinian people and bringing about long-term peace and social justice in the whole region’.
