Jeremy Corbyn appeared to agree Israel could conduct a "false flag" operation to provoke war with Iran, it has been revealed, in the latest revelation about questionable comments he made as a relatively unscrutinised backbench MP.
The latest video was unearthed by The Golem, a Twitter account that monitors Labour antisemitism and has previously revealed other controversial statements by Mr Corbyn before he became Labour leader in 2015.
The clip shows Mr Corbyn giving an interview in 2012 to a YouTuber, who has posted videos with titles such as "Judaism: Just Another Cult" and "On The Need to Dissolve the Jewish Identity".
Mr Corbyn listens while the interviewer, Morris Herman, describes "conversations on the conspiracy channels on the internet" about how Israel could create "a false flag event" - whereby a state uses a faked or exaggerated incident as a pretext for war.
