Keith Ellison Embraces Anti-Semitic UK Leader Jeremy Corbyn
by Ariel Behar • Jul 3, 2019 at 1:35 pm
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a former Democratic National Committee deputy chairman, posted a photo of himself Tuesday night with U.K. Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Corbyn's Labour Party has been embroiled in an anti-Semitism controversy that has seen key leaders leave the party. Nearly 40 percent of British Jews said they would consider leaving the U.K. if he were to become prime minister.
Ellison, a savvy politician, has to be aware of Labour's problems. That did not give him pause about posing with Corbyn, who has embraced terrorist organizations Hamas and Hizballah and called them his friends.
"Awesome day in London," Ellison wrote, "especially meeting with Rt. Hon. Jeremy Corbyn – a true grassroots organizer."
Before becoming Labour leader, Corbyn praised a re-issue of a century-old book that claims Jews control banking and the press. Corbyn wrote a foreword in the 2011 edition of J.A. Hobson's "Imperialism: A Study."
"I am sickened that Labour is now perceived by many as a racist, anti-Semitic Party," MP Mike Gapes wrote in a February resignation letter posted on social media. "But there has been considerable reluctance since then to seriously deal with hundreds of cases of anti-Semitism and several prominent anti-Semites have been readmitted to the Party."
An ongoing investigation by Great Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), drew 100 witnesses, The Guardian reported.
Despite the scrutiny, "Nothing has changed," Jewish Labour Movement Secretary Peter Mason told the newspaper. "We continue to see the same behaviour that we have seen for a very long time and no action taken to tackle it."
Ellison, a former congressman, is also no stranger to embracing bigotry and anti-Semitism.
In 2010, Ellison promised at a private fundraiser that Israel's influence on American foreign policy would change once more Muslims got involved in politics.
He was also forced to denounce Louis Farrakhan, a fervent Jew-hater, despite the fact that he met privately with him in 2016. Ellison had said that his ties to the Nation of Islam and Farrakhan ended in the early 1990s.
Ellison insists he's being unfairly maligned. But he does himself no favors when, as a state attorney general, he makes a point of showing the world he's aligned with Corbyn. In 2015, Ellison criticized U.S. Rep. Steve King's invitation to anti-Muslim Dutch activist Geert Wilders.
Wilders, who has advocated banning the Quran and Islam, has a right to speak, Ellison said. But "we should not be offering the United States Congress as a platform for hate, division and bigotry."
Somehow, it's okay to provide a platform for hate, division and bigotry if it's in the United Kingdom?
...did not give him pause about posing with Corbyn, who has embraced terrorist organizations Hamas and Hizballah and called them his friends. "Awesome day in London," Ellison wrote, "especially meeting with Rt. Hon. Jeremy Corbyn – a true grassroots organizer." Before becoming Labour leader, Corbyn praised a re-issue of a century-old book that claims Jews control banking and the press.
“Wilders, who has advocated banning the Quran and Islam, has a right to speak, Ellison said.”
I’m far from being a fan of Ellison, but that is more than just about any other Leftist is willing to put up with speech they disagree with.
Surprised?
Not one bit.
Where is Minnesota’s embassy in the U.K.?
Evil grows and respects no boundaries
Keith Ellison is a useless consumer of oxygen whose only purpose seems to be spreading hatred. Be a shame if something happened to him, wouldn’t it?/s
“So happy to meet you ... if you was my bitch, I’d smack you ...”

Corbyn is not anti-Semitic. He is anti-Zionist.
..................
Keith is simply one of the non hypnotized. That aside, doing a photo op with Corbin is like doing one with David Duke. Not smart politics, depending on who you think you supporters will be when running for higher office.
From the article: "Corbyn praised a re-issue of a century-old book that claims Jews control banking and the press."
Corbyn is a Jew-hater.
Also, anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.
*** Also, anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. ***
No, it isn’t. You apparently think criticism or dislike of the policies, and ideology of a government is the same as the dislike of a particular religion.
Do you realize this defies common sense and reason?
It’s the face of the Democratic Party. And they aren’t hiding it.
“anti-Zionism” is simply a mask for Jew-hatred. As FR’s resident Jew-hater, you should at least be honest with yourself.
Coming from one of the most transparently anti Semitic posters on FR, that’s not a persuasive point.
*** “anti-Zionism” is simply a mask for Jew-hatred. As FR’s resident Jew-hater, you should at least be honest with yourself. ***
Please post specific examples when I have posted I am a “Jew-hater”.
I am not a Zionist, and I disagree with the endless stream of money going to the Israeli Government from American taxpayers.
I don’t like seeing families thrown from their homes so that
“settlers”, because of the stroke of a pen can claim it as their own.
That is not Jews or Judaism. It is Zionism.
To disagree with that which I see as an injustice against any person or group of persons by those who follow a certain ideology does not make me a hater.
All the name calling, and labeling in the world, nor straw man arguments do not make your aspersions true.
Breaking News **** The French assembly vote :law to assimilate ‘anti zionism and hate against Israel State as Antisemitism ‘ is rejected!!!!
