EXCLUSIVE: Jewish woman asked police to intervene after she was called 'a piece of s***' at tense 'anti-Semitic' meeting hosted by Jeremy Corbyn in Parliament where speaker said 'Israel go to hell'
This is the moment police intervened at a Parliamentary meeting hosted by Jeremy Corbyn where Israel was described as 'evil' and a Jewish woman said she was called a 'piece of sh**'.
The unrest began when a British Jewish member of the audience complained that she had not been allowed to challenge the speakers' anti-Israel views. 'You're trying to shut everybody else up, in the house of commons that we fought for,' she said.
Corbyn refused to accept her questions and tried to close the meeting. Then it descended into chaos. On the video, one woman cries: 'The Holocaust issue, Jeremy. Why? Why do you do this? Why?' She then adds ironically, 'I like Jeremy Corbyn.'
A Jewish lady is then seen complaining to a police officer that she had been called 'filthy names' and 'a piece of sh**' as anger spilled over.
On the panel were three politicians who were suspended from their parties on charges of anti-Semitism, including the former Labour peer Lord Ahmed, who blamed a Jewish conspiracy for his driving conviction.
The two other disgraced politicians were Jenny Tonge and David Ward, both of whom were expelled from the Liberal Democrats for allegedly anti-Semitic remarks.
The new footage of the rowdy meeting in Parliament emerges after Corbyn was reported to the MPs’ standards watchdog for causing ‘significant damage to the reputation and integrity of the House of Commons’.
It raises questions about the Labour leader’s use of parliamentary facilities over many years.
In the past he has provocatively offered to bring Islamic extremists and IRA terrorists to ‘tea on the terrace’ of the House of Commons, and has hosted numerous events there where extremists made speeches.
The event, which took place in 2013, was sponsored by the Palestine Return Centre, which also staged the conference where Corbyn said that British Zionists had 'no sense of English irony', as MailOnline revealed last week.
The footage has sparked a fresh row which reportedly led Labour MP Mike Gapes to tell colleagues on Thursday that it was 'over' and he was leaving the party. He did not deny the claim when approached by MailOnline.
Mr Gapes, who earlier called Mr Corbyn a 'racist antisemite', is said to have posted in a WhatsApp group on Thursday to say he would leave the party, adding: 'all that remains is the timing of my announcement'.
In a statement released on Friday evening, Mr Corbyn said he had been defending the ambassador from 'what I thought were deliberate misrepresentations' by people 'for whom English was a first language, when it isn't for the ambassador'.
He said: 'I described those pro-Israel activists as Zionists, in the accurate political sense and not as a euphemism for Jewish people – and that is made clear in the rest of my speech that day.
'I am now more careful with how I might use the term 'Zionist' because a once self-identifying political term has been increasingly hijacked by anti-Semites as code for Jews.'
Far-right leaders backed Mr Corbyn with former BNP leader Nick Griffin and the former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke posting supportive messages.
'Go Jezza! I wonder how many Labour activists the hysterical Zionist media campaign against Corbyn is re-pilling?' Mr Griffin wrote.
