A prominent Israel lobbyist in the UK has claimed credit for last month’s electoral defeat of the Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn.
“The beast is slain,” Joe Glasman delighted – Corbyn has been “slaughtered.”
He rejoiced that “we defeated him” in the election. “They tried to kill us,” he ranted, but “we won.”
Glasman leads the “political investigations team” at the Campaign Against Antisemitism, or CAA – an influential anti-Palestinian lobby group.
He made his comments in a bizarre video rant addressed to his team of supporters that he posted online during the holiday break.
The video was soon set to private.
But left-wing Labour activists managed to download a copy and posted it on the Barnet Momentum Facebook page.
In the video Glasman claimed he and his supporters beat Corbyn through a coordinated campaign using methods including “our spies and intel.”
But he said his group were “not secret Mossad spies, they’re just ordinary people.”
The video swiftly became an embarrassment. Other copies posted online have been taken down following copyright claims by Glasman.
