A newly-elected Irish parliamentarian recently claimed on Twitter that Israel’s foreign intelligence agency was responsible for UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s resounding defeat in the UK general elections last December, The Sunday Times reported.
Reada Cronin, 46, is a Sinn Fein representative from Kildare North in the Dail Eireann — the lower house the Orieachtas.
““Mossad. Interference. In. The. British. Election. Brits. Being. Led. By. The. Nose,” read one of her tweets.
“Mossad have involved themselves in dirty tricks in elections not too far away,” charged another.
Responding to one commenter who dismissed her view as conspiratorial, Cronin wrote, “When the Nazis come back, and they’re on the march, it’ll be Jeremy Corbyn will stand with you. You are a disgrace to your forefathers.”
Additional tweets that have since been deleted asserted that the Mossad’s alleged actions were “blatant,” and that Corbyn was a “principled man” who was a victim of “lies, deceit, fake news, and the sinister activities of the Mossad Secret Service.”
The Israeli Embassy in Ireland called Cronin’s remarks “paranoid, hate-driven conspiracy theories,” and urged her to retract them.
A Sinn Fein spokesperson issued a statement assuring that Cronin’s tweets “do not represent the views of Sinn Fein.”
Cronin has since backtracked on her assertions, characterizing them as “throwaway remarks.”

Perhaps the Jews are also poisoning the wells? Maybe we’re slaughtering Christian children for matza? Conspiring to take over the world?
Ah, antisemitic conspiracies and blaming Jews for all the world’s ills – what an original idea!
Voting Corbyn out hardly qualifies as one of the world’s ills.
