UK’s Corbyn says new party committed to ‘absolute opposition to Zionism’

Former UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said the new Your Party, which he leads, will be committed to “absolute opposition to Zionism,” according to Jewish News.

Speaking at a meeting of the new party in London on Sunday, Corbyn told an activist who asked him about policy: “The whole Zionist project was about expanding Israel forevermore, which is exactly what [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is doing with the Greater Israel project. So, yes — absolute opposition to Zionism, and absolute solidarity with the people of Palestine.

“And now we have the genocide, and it is a genocide in Gaza. We in Your Party are absolutely in solidarity with the people of Palestine, and will be guided by them on the policies we develop and the direction we take going forward.”
