Twits suggest London Mayor supports Israel

Pro-Palestinian activists have suggested in Twitter that London Mayor Sadiq Khan was influenced by pro-Israeli Jews in his opposition to Jeremy Corbyn in the Labour Party leadership election.

Last Saturday, Khan published an op-ed in The Observer in which he called on Labour party members to replace the anti-Israeli Corbyn in next month's leadership election.

Several of the hate messages he received in response to the call suggested that he had been influenced by Jews.

The mayor “spends his time writing articles to help his masters in Tel Aviv,” read one tweet.

“Who owns you @sadiqkhan?” read another, which included a photo of Khan wearing a kippah while eating matzah at a Jewish community event.
