As you know, Labour Party has been in the middle of controversy lately for harboring several, let's say, less than Jewish-friendly politicians and officials. Its leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has been accused of anti-Semitism by several Jewish associations in the UK, and his closeness to the pro-Palestine movement hasn't made this easier.

So when he confirms a report that he was "present when the wraith was laid": (https://mobile.twitter.com/Jamin2g/status/1028983556939415552) on the tomb of a Palestinian thought to have been involved in the 1972 Munich attacks, rather awkwardly (since he follows the comment by saying “I don’t think I was actually involved in it.”), drama got ready to blitzkrieg its way through Europe:

From /r/UK/'s thread:

"Explain to me why laying down the wreath would be bad.": https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/96yj6a/jeremy_corbyn_thinks_he_did_not_lay_wreath_to/e4481yf/

"Reckon anyone actually believes he’s anti semtic? The media is sucha fucking joke. Imagine hounding a man over this when the countries been plundered by brexit and Putin": https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/96yj6a/jeremy_corbyn_thinks_he_did_not_lay_wreath_to/e444hli/?context=1

From /r/UKPolitics, thread #1:

"Am I missing something? This seems completely trivial given everything we have to worry about in the UK right now.": https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/96y2dv/jeremy_corbyn_thinks_he_did_not_lay_wreath_to/e4428gx/

"I dislike the label "terrorist" we label all "enemy combatants" specifically in a lopsided conflict, as "terrorists."": https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/96y2dv/jeremy_corbyn_thinks_he_did_not_lay_wreath_to/e448jyv/

"Since the West utilised "Shock and Awe" tactics, a method that fits the description of terrorism perfectly, are we not terrorists too?": https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/96y2dv/jeremy_corbyn_thinks_he_did_not_lay_wreath_to/e448jyv/

"It seems to me that when a people are oppressed, and lash out at their oppressors, they're called "terrorists" thanks to the only viable target to them being the populace of the opposing force.": https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/96y2dv/jeremy_corbyn_thinks_he_did_not_lay_wreath_to/e448jyv/

Is it not also important to note that none of these people were ever proven to be terrorists and whilst some of them may have been involved some of them really likely weren't?: https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/96y2dv/jeremy_corbyn_thinks_he_did_not_lay_wreath_to/e448jk8/?context=1

Bonus Jordan Peterson drama:

"It's amazing the lengths Corbynistas will go too isn't it. Some of them are on the same level as Jordan Peterson fanatics.

From /r/UKPolitics, thread #2:

"On the one hand Corbyn, before he became party leader, was stupidly co-opted into a wreath laying ceremony for terrorists/freedom fighters depending on your point of view.On the other hand Theresa May is selling weapons to Saudi Arabia who are currently bombing the shit out women and children in Yemen.": https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/96y6h8/jeremy_corbyn_i_was_present_when_the_wreath_was/e4417ai/

"This post really highlights how the Israelis have won the propaganda war. I remember when I was a kid, there were two sides.
