Re: Jeremy Corbyn refuses to denounce terrorist 'friends' Hamas and Hezbollah
Regarding the thread’s headline, it refers to Jeremy Corbyn’s response to a challenge from the Israeli government spokesman Marc Regev.
Mr Corbyn's spokesman issued a statement which read: "Jeremy Corbyn has been a longstanding supporter of Palestinian rights and the pursuit of peace and justice in the Middle East through dialogue and negotiation.
"He has met many people with whom he profoundly disagrees in order to promote peace and reconciliation processes, including in South Africa, Latin American, Ireland and the Middle East.
"He believes it is essential to speak to people with whom there is disagreement, particularly when they have large-scale support or democratic mandates.
"Simply talking to people who agree with you won’t help achieve justice or peace."
