British Prime Minister Theresa May has pledged to protect British Jews and so-called “Israel’s right to defend itself” in a veiled attack on Jeremy Corbyn, who has been accused of tolerating anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.

IranPress/Europe: Addressing a dinner held by the United Jewish Israel Appeal, which works to build links between British Jews and Israel, May said she was “sickened” by the idea that some Jews had doubt whether Britain was a safe place to raise their children reported Presstv .

"I have come here tonight as prime minister of our country to say that I stand with you,” she told the crowd Monday night." I stand with the UJIA. I stand with Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people. And I stand with the entire Jewish community in Britain."

The Labour Party has been mired in rows over what critics describe as its failure to address anti-Semitism among party supporters and its initial reluctance to fully adopt a broader definition of anti-Semitism.

Corbyn, a veteran campaigner for Palestinian rights, has come under attack for criticizing the Israeli regime’s policies, which some view as being anti-Semitic. The Labour leader argued earlier this year that party members should be allowed to criticize Israel.

In August, Britain’s former chief rabbi Jonathan Sacks labeled Corbyn anti-Semite and said his 2013 comments about Zionists were the most offensive by a senior British politician in half a century.

Corbyn said five years ago, before he was Labour’s leader, that British Zionists “don’t understand English irony” despite “having lived in this country for a very long time.”

“If we are to stand up for the values that we share - then one of the things we need to do is give young Jewish people the confidence to be proud of their identity – as British, Jewish and Zionist too,” May said.

“There is no contradiction between these identities - and we must never let anyone try to suggest that there should be.”

In a barely coded message to Corbyn, the prime minister said, "Let me be clear: You cannot claim to be tackling racism, if you are not tackling anti-Semitism.”

Furthermore, May said she was committed to strong economic ties between London and Tel Aviv.

“You can also count on my commitment to Israel’s security,” she said. “I am clear that we will always support Israel’s right to defend itself.”

As the  main US ally, Britain has always followed American policies which is  directed  against  the Palestinians, and  it is called "Deal of the century".

As a matter of fact, The "deal of the century" is an American and Israeli plan coordinated with Saudi Arabia that Trump is trying to achieve in his presidential course. In this plan Trump has invented a capital for Palestine in a suburb of Al-Quds. He will introduce a security concept for Israel and Palestine as two peace partners which consist of Palestine as an unarmed country with special police and security and regional cooperation with the presence of Jordan, Egypt and US.

The security concept means the presence of Zionist forces alongside the Jordan River and Jebal-alvasat (جبال الوسط) from vest bank to protect both sides, but in extraordinary situations, Zionists are at the helm of increasing security measures.
