In averbal exchange during the Prime Minister’s Questions in the Parliament,Cameron said : ‘’Mr Corbyn had invited “our friends” from Hamas and Hezbollah to speak at an event.He referred to Hamas and Hezbollah as his friends. He needs to withdraw that remark.’’

He then directly asked Corbyn: “Are they your friends or are they not? Because these organisations in their constitutions believe in persecuting and killing Jews. They are anti-Semitic organisations, they are racist organisations.He must stand up and say they are not his friends.”

The Labour leader responded: “Obviously, anyone who commits racist acts or is anti-Semitic is not a friend of mine. I am very clear about that.”

He insisted that the event Cameron mentioned was intended to promote the peace process in the Middle East, and that “I absolutely do not approve of those organisations”.

The verbal exchangecame a day before local elections throughout Britain including for mayor of London. While Labour is expected to lose dozens od seats nationwide, the Labour’s candidate for London, Sadiq Khan, was favored to win, which would make him the first Muslim mayor of a major Western city.

On Wednesday, the Labour Party suspended two more local lawmakers over allegations of anti-Semitism.

Former London Mayor Ken Livingstone, who was suspended from the party over anti-Semitic remarks linking Adolf Hitler to Zionism, said in a recentinterview with a London-based Arabic-language TV station, that the “establishment of the State of Israel was fundamentally wrong.”

He also claimed Jewish communities in Arab countries never suffered any discrimination or attack until the foundation of the State of Israel, when they were all suddenly “deported” – by whom, he didn’t elaborate – ignoring the countless massacres and legacies of persecutions faced by Jews in Arab and Muslim lands well before Israel was founded.

In the interview, Livingstone also appeared to justify ISIS and Al Qaeda attacks against Western targets, suggesting the jihadists didn’t slaughter people “because they like killing,” but rather because “they feel that they are the victims of injustice.”
