British troops criticized for Corbyn "target practice" video

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s defense ministry said on Wednesday it had launched an investigation into a video circulating on social media apparently showing soldiers using a picture of opposition Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn for target practice.

The video, posted on Snapchat, shows four paratroopers firing shots at the picture with the caption “happy with that”.

“We are aware of a video circulating on social media,” an Army spokesperson said. “This behavior is totally unacceptable and falls well below the high standards the Army expects. A full investigation has been launched.”

A Labour spokesman called the behavior alarming and unacceptable but said the party was confident the Army would investigate and act on the incident.

1. I have an extremely low opinion of Corbyn.

He is antisemite. He is a terrorist sympathizer. He is anti NATO and pro-Russia.

But this kind of behavior is unacceptable

2. Terrorist sympathizer?

3. He supports Hamas and other terrorist groups.

He has called Hamas and Hezbollah agents of “long-term peace and social justice and political justice in the whole region,” and once invited to Parliament a Palestinian Islamist, Raed Salah, who has suggested Jews were absent from the World Trade Center on 9/11. Corbyn called him an “honored citizen.”
