Jeremy Corbyn’s world view is founded on the Left’s hatred of the West
Evening Standard ^ | 27 Jan, 2016 | Simon Sebag Montefiore

As Corbyn tightens control over Labour, the strangest thing about Corbynism is the inconsistency between the socialist pacifism at home and the anti-Western militarism abroad. At first his views seemed so colourfully crankish that they were hard to take seriously. As has been exposed since he became leader, Corbyn and his entourage have backed a motley crew of dictatorships and terrorist organisations, from the IRA in the Eighties to Hamas and Hezbollah ("our friends"), and have attended meetings with an array of sinister anti-Semitic conspiracists. (Corbyn makes clear he is not anti-Semitic himself.)

If you exclude the anti-Zionism, you might be forgiven for believing this is all history: in fact, it is about the present.

Corbyn's entourage have a world view that is entirely different from that of virtually all Western governments. Their villain is "imperalist" America followed by Britain as colonial-oppressor-turned-American-poodle, joint perpetrators of the criminal Iraq war, while their preference is for the regimes/movements that oppose Western power.

Tyrants and terrorists are excused their brutalities because the Corbyn camp has an irrational faith in anyone who is anti-Western, no matter how mercilessly murderous or financially corrupt. To arm ourselves with nuclear weapons or drones to defend democracy is simply wrong. We do not need arms because, unlike Hezbollah, Iran, North Korea or China, we are incapable of using them for any purpose other than greed, slaughter and conquest.
