Jeremy Corbyn Manning the Phones for Mamdani

Roger Waters and Nick Fuentes were presumably unavailable, so British politician Jeremy Corbyn, kicked out of the Labour Party in 2020 for fostering a climate of antisemitism, volunteered instead to man a phone bank for every antisemite’s favorite candidate — Zohran Mamdani. Corbyn, some will remember, was famous when he was leader of the Labour Party for an unbroken series of anti-Israel remarks, so extreme in their animus that he fully deserved to be called, as he was by many, at the time, an antisemite. He described members of Hamas and Hezbollah as his“friends.” He later invited members and backers of Hamas to visit Parliament as his honored guests when he was serving as an MP. Abroad, Cornyn attended a solemn ceremony at a cemetery in Tunisia, where PLO and Black September “martyrs” were buried. He even laid a wreath in honor of two members of Black September who had taken part in the massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes in Munich. He later claimed, most implausibly, that he did not know who the wreath was meant for, did not recognize their names, even though he was present as, in English as well as Arabic, their terrorist “achievements” were duly recited. And he was not only an antisemite himself, but he did nothing to discourage, and much to encourage, such attitudes on the part of Labour Party members when he was that party’s head.

UK Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is hosting a phone bank with the New York City Democratic Socialists of America (NYC DSA) on Monday to appeal to voters on behalf of mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

The online Zoom event with the former UK Labour Party member is set to have volunteers call New Yorkers to convince them to vote for the Democratic candidate, according to the event’s webpage.

“Every conversation pushes us closer to winning a better New York,” wrote the NYC DSA.

That’s not the main reason Corbyn supports Mamdani. He quite likes Mamdani’s deep hostility toward the Jewish state, his refusal to criticize such slogans as “globalize the intifada,” which means that Jews across the world should be treated as Israelis were during the two intifadas — that is, murdered — his complete lack of sympathy for the embattled Jewish state as it fights a seven-front war, his clear desire to see Israel disappear to be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. After all, when Corbyn was leader of the Labour Party, his refusal to criticize Labour members who made antisemitic remarks became so noticeable that finally, his moral squalor in supporting Hamas and Hezbollah caused a revolt in the centrist wing of the Labour Party that led to Corbyn’s dismissal from the party in 2020.

Corbyn said on social media that he was hosting the phone bank to “get Zohran over the finish line for a New York that’s affordable for all!”

Advertisements for the event featuring Corbyn stated that Zohran paid for them for the NYC campaign.

Mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo said on X/Twitter on Sunday that having Corbyn help in Mamdani’s campaign revealed “everything you need to know.”

Corbyn was “someone whose party was found to have committed unlawful acts of discrimination against Jewish people under his leadership,” Cuomo said on X, adding that New York does not need politics of moral compromise….

Now Corbyn has surfaced again, unrepentant and unbowed, manning a telephone bank to get out the vote for Zohran Mamdani, who is in every way his soulmate. He’s still a member of Parliament, as the only elected member of a party he founded in 2025 that he has called, with great panache, “Your Party.” Perhaps Mamdani, should he win, could give him a job in his administration. American citizenship is not required. Corbyn could become the New York City Coordinator of Outreach with the Muslim Community. And why not? The job could pay double what Corbyn has been earning as a Member of Parliament. He’d be working with Muslims, with whom he feels a certain kinship, based on a shared hatred of Jews and the Jewish state. Mamdani would not find fault with his antisemitic words and deeds; instead, Zohran would find them endearing. And besides, when have any considerations of morality and decency put a crimp in Mamdani’s style?
