Choosing Corbyn ‘is like going back to Star Trek or something,’ Blair says in speech; new poll put socialist MP known for anti-Israel stances far ahead of other candidates.
Ha’aretz
Former British Prime Minister and Labour leader Tony Blair warned his party against electing socialist Jeremy Corbyn as party leader, after the pro-Palestinian MP emerged as the frontrunner in the leadership race in a new poll.
Addressing a Labour think tank on Wednesday, Blair termed Corbyn’s “radical leftism” as reactionary. “It’s like going back to Star Trek or something. Back to the old days,” Blair said, the Express reported.
Corbyn, an MP from London’s Islington North, was originally labeled a no-hoper and only barely gathered the minimum number of endorsements from fellow MPs to run for party leadership.
However, his leadership campaign seems to have attracted the support of many grassroots party activists, and a YouGov poll commissioned by the Times showed Corbyn to be the first preference of 43 percent of party supporters, way ahead of the other three candidates.
Aside from Corbyn’s uncompromising socialist stances on internal British issues, his support of pro-Palestinian causes is the subject of some controversy, most recently after the resurfacing of a 2009 video showing him speaking of his “pleasure and honor” at hosting members of Hezbollah in parliament and his regret that “friends from Hamas” were prevented by Israel from arriving. In the video, Corbyn also denounced his government for designating them terror organizations.
At the Labour hustings at London’s JW3 Jewish community center on Monday, Corbyn defended these statements, saying his “kind of an inclusive person,” adding: “you’re all my friends,” gesturing towards an audience that quite obviously did not agree.
In his speech, Blair didn’t address Corbyn’s anti-Israel positions, but warned his party against veering too much to the left. The “debilitating feature” of the Labour leadership race, Blair said, was that it was seen as a choice between “heart and head.”
“People who say their heart is with Corbyn, get a transplant,” Blair told the audience, the Express reported.
While Blair didn’t back any of the other three candidates, he stressed that Labour must present a strategy for government and not just be a “platform for protest” against austerity if it wants to regain power.
Labour has been engaged in a fierce leadership battle after Ed Miliband resigned following the May election, in which the Conservative Party had won reelection with a slender parliamentary majority.
Aside from Corbyn, the other candidates are shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham with 26 percent support according to the YouGov poll, shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper with 20 percent, and Liz Kendal, said by the Express to be the Blairite candidate, with 11 percent.
The party leadership will be decided on September 12.

Reblogged this on Lolathecur's Blog Below are two very important entries from the "Jewish Encyclopedia". Read them VERY CLOSELY..
This advice from the man who lied about weapons of mass destruction leading to hundreds of dead British squaddies, the man on whose hands lies the blood of Dr. David Kelly, the man who commands hundreds of thousands per hour to preach his treachery, the man on whose head rests the responsibility for dismissing Arpad Pusztai and unleashing carcinogenic GMO’s and the poison Glyphosate into the British farming environment.
No, anyone trusting this evil, vile bastard is either on the greed bandwagon or an idiot.
Funny thing, the older he gets the more Jewish he looks… doesn’t he look like Shimon Peres in this photo? Mimetism really became deeply embedded in this Shabbat Goy
On July 20, the Labour Friends of Israel, held a meeting at the Jewish occupied town of Hastings to scan the candidates hoping to fit in the shoes of party’s former Zionist Jew leader Ed Miliband. The meeting was chaired by Jonathan Freedland, executive editor The Guardian and columnist at the Jewish Chronicle.
Andy Burnham (Jewish), Yvette Cooper (Jewish), Jeremy Corbyn (Christian) and Liz Kendall (Jewish) attended the meeting to show their pro-Israel credentials.
According to the Jewish Chronicle (July 20, 2015) three-quarter of the session was focused on Israel. The representatives from UK’s largest Israel lobby group, Community Security Trust, Board of Deputies of British Jews, once headed by paedophile Lord Janner, and local Jewish leaders grilled the candidates to find out how much they’re willing to serve Israel’s interests over British interests.
All candidates agreed that the Zionist entity has the ‘rights’ to exist over 54% of Palestinian land gifted to European Jews by the ‘victors of WW II’. They, except Corbyn, promised that as new leader of Labour Party, their first foreign trip would be to Israel.
The candidates were asked about their position on BDS movement, new Jewish settlements in the west Bank and East Jerusalem, Hamas and Hizbullah.
Most of these questions were focused on Corbyn, who is the front-runner according to a recent poll. But he is accused of antisemitism by the Jewish Lobby for calling Hamas and Hizbullah “Friends”. Listen below Corbyn’s clarification of his statement.
MP Corbyn, like former MP George Gallowy, have the bad habit of keep making political wrong statements. For example, in 2012, he demanded a probe into the evil influence of pro-Israel lobby groups over UK’s foreign policy particularly in the Muslim world.
Last year, American Jewish Congress’ mouthpiece, The Commentary, called MP Corbyn and former UK’s foreign secretary Jack Straw, who hangs from a Jewish tree, of being part of UK’s pro-Iran lobby. The two antisemites had criticized both Israel and Saudi Arabia for the bloodshed in the region to counter Iranian influence.
The UK’s Telegraph newspaper accused Corbyn receiving election funds from Iranians living in Britain. He is also accused of making a ‘free trip’ to Tehran, but refused to travel to Israel on an all-expense-paid trip offered by a Jewish lobbying group.
Paul Eisen, British writer, blogger and Holocaust denier, called Jeremy Corbyn: The Finest Man in British Politics.

Just as in US politics, all, that matters is fidelity to Israel . ‘Thou shall have no other Gods but Yahweh. ‘.
‘Reactionary Mr Blar?” What us more reactionary then Judaism ?
I get a bit of pleasure seeing these creatures like Obama, Bush, Blair, and all the rest aging so damn quickly. It also proves that they have no secret powers, conducting magical ceremonies and spells where even the elements obey them.
They are evil, narcissistic, spoiled pimps seeking to install a master, global construct.
