The Simon Wiesenthal Center has named Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn as the worst anti-Semite of the year, the UK Daily Mail reported on Monday.

“No one has done more to mainstream anti-Semitism into the political and social life of a democracy than the Jeremy Corbyn-led Labour Party,” said the Los Angeles based human rights organization in a statement on Sunday as cited by the British newspaper.

“Members and staff who have dared to speak out against the hate were purged, but not those who declared ‘Heil Hitler’ and ‘F*** the Jews,” the statement added.

Rabbi Marvin Hier, the head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told the Daily Mail about the dangers Corbyn poses to the world.

“If Mr. Corbyn wins he will make Britain a pariah on the world stage. It will be a disaster for democracy,” Hier said.

“Britain was at the forefront of defeating Hitler and now, on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the person who wants to sit in Winston Churchill’s chair at No 10 is fostering anti-Semitism,” he added.

World Israel News reported that the Labour party released a statement calling the designation grossly offensive.

“This ranking is ridiculous and grossly offensive. Putting Jeremy Corbyn at the head of a list containing neo-Nazi synagogue shooters is a transparent political attack and has nothing to do with tackling anti-Semitism,” the statement said.

In 2018, Corbyn was named by the Simon Wiesenthal Center as the fourth-worst anti-Semite of the year, up six spots from being named 10th in 2017, according to the World Israel News report.

The Sunday Times of London reported on leaked documents from Britain’s Quality and Human Rights Commission that exposed the vicious cycle of anti-Semitic behavior in the Corbyn-led party, according to the WIN report.

The report revealed disturbing incidents of anti-Semitism that went unchecked for months on end.

World Israel News reported that in one such incident, it took eight months to dismiss a party member who said that the Jews should be drowned in the Dead Sea because “gas is so expensive and we need it in England.”

In another incident a party member said “Jews represent a viral infection that needs to be completely eliminated.”

WIN reported that in a BBC interview with Corbyn in November, the Labour party leader was asked four times if he would like to apologize for anti-Semitism in Labour. He rejected each opportunity.

“Boris Johnson’s chances of winning Thursday’s crunch election are balanced on a knife-edge, according to Conservative strategists who fear Labour do not need to gain a single seat to turf the Prime Minister out of Downing Street,” reported the Daily Mail on Monday.

Internal party polling for Johnson’s Conservative party indicates that losing just 12 of their constituencies could propel Jeremy Corbyn into Number 10 Downing Street, the paper reports.

According to the report, Labour started to chip away this week at Johnson’s poll lead, narrowing the gap to just six points. Two-and-a-half weeks ago, Johnson enjoyed a 13-point lead.

World Israel News reported that officials from the UK’s conservative party say Corbyn’s changes of becoming Britain’s prime minister have been “seriously underestimated,” the Daily Mail has said.

The possibility of a Corbyn victory has raised the concern of Britain’s Jews. Corbyn has made numerous anti-Israel statements. He has welcomed Hezbollah and Hamas representatives at the British parliament, calling them his “friends.” Anti-Semitism has run rampant in the Labour party since he took over the leadership, according to the WIN report.

In an unprecedented move, the United Kingdom’s chief rabbi on Nov. 25 slammed Corbyn for failing to stem anti-Semitism within his party.

“A new poison – sanctioned from the top – has taken root in the Labour Party,” Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis wrote in an op-ed published by The New York Times on Monday.

“The way in which the leadership has dealt with anti-Jewish racism is incompatible with the British values of which we are so proud – of dignity and respect for all people,” he wrote.

Mirvis called on everyone to “vote with their conscience,” adding that the “very soul” of the country is “at stake.”

A Sept. 2018 poll found nearly 40 percent of British Jews would “seriously consider emigrating” if Corbyn became prime minister, according to a poll published by The Jewish Chronicle on Wednesday.

An overwhelming majority — 85.9% — of British Jews said Corbyn is an anti-Semite, another poll conducted by The Jewish Chronicle revealed. The vote will take place on Thursday, December 12th.

In an exclusive report filed by the Israel-based Tazpit Press Service on December 8th, reporter Baruch Yedid revealed that Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip and London’s Hamas institutions have joined forces to support Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party, ahead of the upcoming UK elections this week.

One of Corbyn’s largest support networks is managed from the Gaza Strip, with the knowledge and involvement of the Hamas leadership, TPS has learned.

TPS reported that the multifaceted relationship between Hamas and the Labour Party exists through a large number of organizations, forums, media outlets and activities on social networks. These Hamas organizations are actively engaged in the efforts in recent weeks to secure Corbyn’s election.

The “We support Jeremy Corbyn” Facebook page, with some 72,000 followers, is one of the largest and most important of the Corbyn support organizations across the world.

Walid Abu Rouk, a resident of Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, managed the page for over two years. In June 2017, Labour activists decided to add Abu Rouk as a manager to the page, declaring him their representative in the Gaza Strip, according to the TPS report.

Labour activists have conducted several fundraising campaigns for his projects in Gaza during this time. Labour activists describe Abu Rouk as a staunch supporter of Corbyn and declared that he is “our man in Gaza.”

Speaking to TPS, Abu Rouk said he had served as the page manager until recently, but he still maintains relationships with Corbyn’s party activists.

Labour activists in London have directed supporters to contact Abu Rouk and receive information and publications from him, but he is no simple social activist. The findings and evidence indicate that his relationship with Labour does not exist in a vacuum, according to the TPS report. Abu Rouk is a central link within the hidden relationship that serves Hamas in its political relations with Labour, and that may be what prompted Labour activists to appoint him as the director of the Facebook page from the Gaza Strip, as was reported by TPS.

A source in the Gaza Strip told TPS that “Abu Rouk serves Hamas’ information campaign and is guided by it.”

Another official in the Gaza Strip, who asked to speak on condition of anonymity, told TPS that Abu Rouk is an important link in Hamas’ English-language propaganda system and that he operates under Hamas’ guidance. As a violent terror dictatorship, Hamas does not allow free media activity in the Gaza Strip.

Additional research conducted by TPS through a third-party conduit with Hamas officials, also indicates that Abu Rouk operates under Hamas’ directive and is being guided by it because of his command of the English language.

In recent years, Hamas’ internal security apparatus has placed its people in the offices of important media outlets in the Gaza Strip and in control of Facebook pages. News site owners and page managers on social networks have been required to give Hamas members access to their sites’ domains and management of their social media pages, according to the TPS report.

The same is true of Abu Rouk, one of the founders of the GP + media site in the Gaza Strip. The reporters writing for the site are supervised by Muhammad Ibrahim Madhun, a journalist who is often quoted by leading international media outlets as a Hamas affiliate, as was reported by TPS. Madhun is also involved in illegal activities. A source in the Gaza Strip claims that several years ago, Madhun hosted a planning session of the Hamas military wing in one of the GP + offices. The office was bombed shortly afterward by Israel.

Abu Rouk said in a phone call with TPS that he writes for Aljazeera, the Qatari news network affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, for the PALESTINE 24 website and for the Middle East Eye website. These sites are affiliated with Hamas.

Abu Rouk also writes for the London-based Memo Monitor newspaper, which is considered one of the UK’s Muslim Brotherhood’s media sites, as was reported by TPS. Memo’s editor is Daoud Abdullah, one of the Muslim Brotherhood’s top British leaders. Another senior official is Ibrahim Hewitt, who is also affiliated with the Brotherhood in the UK.

Memo monitor writers often express support for Corbyn and the Labour party, and the party receives particularly sympathetic coverage by the Memo website.

Speaking to TPS, Abu Rouk specifically stated that he agrees to work with the Israeli media, which he usually boycotts, only if it is done through the Memo office in London.

Another senior reporter at Memo is Motasem Dalloul, a resident of the Gaza Strip. Dalloul edits the website “Days of Palestine” which is affiliated with Hamas. A source in the Gaza Strip reports that Dalloul is one of the leaders of Hamas’ English language propaganda campaign. He also edits the English content on Hamas’ official Al-Risala website, according to the TPS report.

TPS reported that Abu Rouk readily admits to his work in the various media outlets, which are affiliated with Hamas, and the fact that he ran the Corbyn support page, alongside Labour activists, but he denies any connection to Dalloul. Dalloul also claims that he does not know Abu Rouk. The two, residents of the Gaza Strip, work for the same newspapers, which express open support for Corbyn and identify with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, yet they deny any connection or acquaintance. However, when Dalloul was injured several years ago, Abu Rouk took to social media to post his well wishes and prayers for his “dearest friend” Dalloul.

In addition to his activities in media outlets of extreme Islamic nature, TPS reported that Abu Rouk advocates for the boycott of the Israeli media. Like him, Corbyn’s support page is boycotting important British media sources and prohibits the uploading of content or links from the Daily Mail and the London Sun.

Abu Rouk is a BDS activist involved in several BDS organizations, as was reported by TPS. He supports Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), an organization known for its extreme positions and its support for boycotts of Israel and its ties with BDS movement. He also promotes the so-called Freedom Flotillas to the Gaza Strip on behalf of a British organization called Viva Palestina, according to the TPS report.

Viva Palestina was founded by former British Labour Member of Parliament George Galloway, who was expelled from the party over anti-Semitism. Kevin O’Banden, the association’s secretary-general, met with Hamas leader Khaled Mashal in the Gaza Strip in 2009, as Galloway’s deputy.

TPS reported that another one of the organizers in the flotilla effort is Khadijah Hassan, a supporter of Corbyn.

Hassan, British in origin, converted to Islam and moved to the Gaza Strip under the auspices of the Hamas Religious Scholars Association. She is active in Labour and most of her activities are in the boycott organizations against Israel, according to the TPS report.

Viva Palestina, which is registered in the UK, operates under the instructions of senior Hamas official Zaher Birawi, who has also been identified by Israel’s security service as one of the top Hamas representatives in the United Kingdom. A source in the Gaza Strip told TPS that Birawi is responsible for all Hamas-UK relations and they call him the holder of the “Corbyn-Hamas file.”
