Jeremy Corbyn and his Labor party have been reeling from accusations of antisemitism, something which Corbyn has vehemently denied.
So I’m guessing exposure of his brother Piers’ antisemitism will neither come as a shock to any of us, nor a welcome development for Jeremy.
Piers is a weather forecaster who, like brother, has expressed very anti-Israel sentiments.
But he just let down his guard and embraced his inner Jew hater, retweeting a White National Socialist’s antisemitic tweet.
This is the tweet in question:

Have a look at the images tweeted. There is absolutely no doubt this is antisemitism of the worst kind.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism, who brought this to my attention, note:
The man who now broadcasts that the Jews were responsible for the Second World War, is the same that claimed a Jewish conspiracy against his brother: when Jewish MP Louise Ellman complained of antisemitic attacks against her, Piers accused her of using it as a cover for political attack, tweeting: “ABSURD! JC+ All #Corbyns are committed #AntiNazi. #Zionists cant cope with anyone supporting rights for #Palestine”. Brother Jeremy’s response: “He’s not wrong”.
If he is a committed anti-Nazi as he claims, he is DOING IT ALL WRONG!
There is no doubt in my mind Piers knew exactly what he was tweeting – the images are not ambiguous in their meaning. I call on Jeremy Corbyn to repudiate his brother’s antisemitism. Anything short of this will just be confirmation of what we already fear regarding Jeremy’s own views.
