Jeremy Corbyn could face US sanctions for his dealings with Hamas
Political leaders in Britain's Labour Party have been informed by legal counsel that their party's leader, Jeremy Corbyn, could be hit with U.S. sanctions for his multiple dealings with the terror group Hamas, according to a copy of a U.K. legal review obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.It should be done now, to help send a message. I'm sure Corbyn would whine that they're subjecting him to McCarthyism, but the fact remains that he's provided material backing for savages, and made himself into one of the worst examples of an Islamophile in the UK. Considering how awful it's become there with Islamofascism proving a menace on every street corner, his antics will only make things worse. If the Labour party really wants to mend the damage, they'll have to get rid of him and his ilk from the party altogether, if they don't want their own party to suffer by extension.
Corbyn, who has long come under fire for his anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks, could be slapped with American sanctions for providing material support to Hamas, a designation that could result in the leader's financial assets being frozen, among other penalties, according to a legal brief commissioned by members of the Labour Party who are said to be concerned about Corbyn's radical ties.
The legal review, performed by W Legal, paints a compelling case against Corbyn, who has been open about his multiple meetings with Hamas and other prominent anti-Israel forces.
Since rising as Labour's leader, Corbyn has come under fierce criticism for his radical ties and history of making anti-Semitic remarks. The legal review is likely to provide further grist to Corbyn's opponents and possibly spark an investigation by U.S. officials overseeing sanctions policies in the Trump administration.
"In circumstances where grounds exist upon which Jeremy Corbyn may become subject to U.S. sanctions, many people may conclude that the Labour Party lacks credibility," Nigel Kushner, chief executive of W Legal, said in comments accompanying the firm's review, which has not before been publicly reported. "I anticipate a push in certain quarters on both sides of the pond for Jeremy Corbyn to be made the subject of U.S. sanctions. There is a view that enough is enough."
The four-page legal review builds a compelling case against Corbyn, alleging that his relationship with Hamas officials could be viewed as material support to the group, an offense subject to sanctions under U.S. laws.
"Hamas is listed on a U.S. sanctions list. Anyone deemed ‘otherwise associated' with someone on the list is themselves at risk of being put on that sanctions list," the review argues.
