The new leader of the British Labor party, Jeremy Corbyn, is saying that he has some Jewish ancestry, the Jewish Chronicle reports.
Speaking in an interview with the Church Times, Corbyn revealed that there was a “Jewish element” in the family. […]
Corbyn, who was elected Labor leader a week ago, has stirred up some controversy as he infamously called Hamas and Hezbollah as his “friends”.
In the days before the vote he also received an endorsement from Hamas, with the terrorist group hailing him for his “sympathetic” stance towards them.
Corbyn’s election as head of Britain’s opposition was a cause of concern for many British Jews, the majority of whom have voiced deep concern over his disturbing links to a wide range of extremists, spanning far-right holocaust deniers, an anti-Semitic Christian minister and Islamist terrorist groups. …

Hitler’s grandmother was Jewish. Corbin would fit right in.
Yes, I remember when Madeleine Albright ‘discovered’ she was ‘Jewish’. IIRC, John Kerry claims a Jewish grandfather or something. Lots of Democrats do it.
When is he going to say “i have Jewish friends”
And I like the way he used the word element. Usually not the most flattering term.
What a jerk.
When you call a country’s enemies your friends, then that country is your enemy most of the time.
With all of the muslims in the UK, I would think the last thing any politician would want to claim is Jewish ancestry.
Well then, Corbyn could save a lot of trouble if he would just off himself by sawing his head off to atone for his sin of the blood.

In New York, where one of every eight voters is Jewish, it certainly won't hurt that First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton can note the Jewish branch on her family tree... Mrs. Clinton, who is Methodist, "has very fond childhood memories" of the second husband of her grandmother, Max Rosenberg, a Russian-born Jew, said Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for the first lady's Senate exploratory committee...Mrs. Clinton angered potential Jewish voters last year by voicing support for a Palestinian state, but has recently told Jewish leaders she considers Jerusalem "the eternal and indivisible capital" of Israel. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-has-jewish-roots/
Yeah. See #7
No, it isn’t. And hasn’t been for some time.
I agree, because the UK, as we know, is mostly Muslim now and run by them.
1870 in fact.
Element? Sounds like a term the Nazis would use. I’m sure if this guy had some Arab blood, he’d be celebrating it.
Probably just another reason why he hates himself and his culture.
Hillary claims Jewish blood as well, lol.
Thank God for the Founders' foresight in creating the Electoral College.
I agree
Well, here’s a clue: don’t pal around with socialists. We can’t bail you out the next time.
No, it’s never been declared illegal like it was in the USA (Article 1, Sections 9 and 10); it just hasn’t been used since then.
Churchill was apparently considering attainder for the purpose of expediting the execution of Adolf Hitler and other Nazis during and after WWII.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

So does John Kerry. I always find these declarations of Jewish ancestry bizarre. What is it supposed to mean?
Attainders by confession, verdict and process were abolished in the United Kingdom by the Forfeiture Act 1870.
