On Saturday, Jeremy Corbyn attended an anti-Israel rally in central London, organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), from where he posted the following photo on Twitter/X:

Notice anything telling?
If you Zoom in on the photo, you will see that Corbyn is standing right in front of an antisemitic placard:
What is so antisemitic about the placard? (I have seen some online asking, perhaps disingenuously).
A closer look at it from another photo from the rally, which makes it clearer:
The Statue of Liberty (representing the US) is feeding a baby (representing Israel) bottled ‘palestinian’ blood. And if that still isn’t clear, here is an alternative version of that meme:
This is an antisemitic trope two-fer; firstly, it suggests the US is beholden to Israel, who is essentially controlling it, and secondly, it perpetuates the medieval blood libel of Jews drinking the blood of gentile babies.
And here we have Jeremy Corbyn, the former UK Labour party leader who has denied there was widespread antisemitism in his party or in the anti-Israel movement (or in himself!), posing (perhaps unwittingly) in front of this antisemitic placard.
He sure has a terrible track record posing in front of things.
