Tim Lezard questioned whether UK taxpayers fund security for synagogues if antisemitism rises "as a result of Israel bombing Gaza"
May 12, 2017 16:06A Labour source has denied that the man behind a string of antisemitic and anti-Israel tweets has been appointed as an adviser to Jeremy Corbyn.
Tim Lezard, a journalist and campaigner, was widely reported to have been appointed to work as a trade union adviser to the Labour leader at the party’s headquarters in central London, after the Guido Fawkes website revealed his tweets.
In February 2015, Mr Lezard tweeted: “When antisemitism rises as a result of Israel bombing Gaza, should UK tax-payers fund security for synagogues?”
