British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on Friday sought to clarify remarks he made in 2013 when he accused a group of Zionists of having “no sense of English irony”, despite “having lived in this country for a very long time”.
The Daily Mail published a clip of Corbyn’s comments earlier this week. In it, he was heard telling attendees at a London conference that “Zionists … clearly have two problems. One is they don’t want to study history, and secondly, having lived in this country for a very long time, probably all their lives, they don’t understand English irony either. They needed two lessons, which we could perhaps help them with.”
