Corbyn gave his version of the Hanukkah miracle, emphasizing that it was hope that gave the Jews the courage to light the menorah in the Temple despite having only a small amount of oil, and claimed that such hope is seen today among young people who fight to save the planet and charity work done by synagogues who help refugees.Corbyn, under whom Labour faces an investigation that it had become a Jew-hating party, was met with ridicule online. “We’re having a happy Hanukkah because you’re not prime minister,” Never Again tweeted in response.I would like to wish happy #Hanukkah to Jewish people celebrating in Britain and across the world.#Chanukah pic.twitter.com/UfwHrEMNYK

A user claimed Corbyn is attempting to “trick non-Jews” into thinking he has normal relations with the Jews of the UK.I see Corbyn has sent his annual Chanukah message to non Jews to trick them into thinking he and we are cool. We’re not. You’re a knackered old Marxist Corbyn. An antisemitic one who’s friends with Jew killers. Chanukah celebrates our resistance to people like you https://t.co/1berLQZcay
