Statement on the Israeli Labour Party severing ties with the leader of the UK Labour Party:
The announcement by the Israeli Labour Party that it is severing ties with the leader of @UKLabour, Jeremy Corbyn, is unprecedented, shocking but unsurprising.
Thread
1/5
An undeniable schism has opened between the UK Labour Party leadership and the Israeli Labour leadership, which reflects the breakdown of the UK Labour Party’s relationship with both the British Jewish community and its counterparts overseas.

Here follows a thread on why @J_VoiceUK are disingenuous and dangerous.
