UK LABOUR LEADER FAILS TO MENTION JEWS IN HOLOCAUST DAY MESSAGE:
Posted onThe CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has blasted British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, after he failed to include a reference to Jews and anti-Semitism in his statement on the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Corbyn had earlier shared on his Facebook page the message he had written in the Holocaust Educational Trust memorial book. "We should never forget the Holocaust: The millions who died, the millions displaced and cruel hurt their descendants have suffered,” he wrote. "At this, and at all other times, we should reflect and make sure succeeding generations understand the power of words; their power to do good and inspire; and their power to promote hate and division. Let us use their power to educate to inspire but above all to build values of trust and respect,” wrote the Labour leader. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt later tweeted, "To omit any reference to Jews or anti-Semitism in your Holocaust remembrance statement is offensive to us and the millions murdered. Nazi ideology was rooted in hate & anti-Semitism. We can never forget that.” Corbyn has increasingly come under fire for his failure to properly deal with the anti-Semitism within the ranks of the Labour party. Over the last several years, dozens of Labour members have been suspended over their anti-Semitic statements. (Arutz-7)
