Jeremy Corbyn has taken on a new speechwriter who has worked closely with anti-Zionist academic Norman Finkelstein and controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Alex Nunns, the author of The Candidate, about the Labour leader’s rise to power, writes on his website that he has done “editorial work on other people’s books, like Julian Assange’s When Google Met WikiLeaks and Norman Finkelstein’s Knowing Too Much.”
Mr Finkelstein is also the author of The Holocaust Industry, which argues that the American Jewish establishment exploits the memory of the Nazi Holocaust for political and financial gain.
Mr Assange was accused of antisemitism in 2011 when it was reported he had blamed a “Jewish conspiracy” for media reports on his close association with WikiLeaks colleague Israel Shamir, who is a Holocaust denier.
