1) Just looked through Corbyn's Twitter feed, starting from June 1st this year. Despite the Chinese Communist Party's sterilisation & incarceration of Uyghur Muslims & their crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong he hasn't mentioned China once. Yet 12% of his tweets criticise Israel
2) That's not to say Israel doesn't deserve criticism. But why does Corbyn's view of the world seem to be entirely based on ideology rather than human rights. He claims to be morally superior but his narrative and outrage is selective at best.
3) Corbyn's obsession with Israel wouldn't be so sinister if it was balanced out with criticism of Russian or Chinese civil rights violations. Instead we get radio silence. I tried to keep an open mind with Corbyn, but I don't get the hypocrisy or the selective outrage.
