      Tbf for his faults Corbyn has always been genuinely very good on foreign policy, and his refusal to give an inch on this issue in particular is a huge part of what scuppered his leadership of the Labour Party. This is the guy whose idea of a compromise was respecting the 1948 borders.

        Ok I actually read the article, and fair point, but I do think it’s worth remembering the context in which all of this stuff was said. Even these compromises we was trying to make with the zionist elements within his party were way way to the left of where 99% of people reading this were at in 2018 if we’re being honest.
