I'm not a member of Momentum.

I too would be interested in hearing Corbyn's views on Venezuala's current regime. I know he admired Shavez and welcomed his successor, but I'd be interested to know why his successor has taken the country in the direction it has gone (very different to what Shavez stood for) and Corbyn's feelings on it. But as well as hoisting him up on the fire for constant anti-semitism and terrorist sympathising, I don't see why we shouldn't hold him to account on South American countries too...
Why would you draw a distinction between the Zionists in the room and UK Zionists generally? By definition, they all hold Zionist views.

Maduro has maintained the Socialist policies of Chavez and it is their actions together that have reduced the country to where it is – poverty for the many, not the few. There is a lesson there somewhere. It is a lesson that has been delivered many times since Marx ‘invented’ Socialism, but some people just don’t seem to get it.

I too would love to know what Corbyn’s views on Maduro are, but despite being someone who you say has historically ‘argued and stood on the side of the people that he considers to be oppressed’ he really didn’t want to talk about Maduro when given the chance last year:

What’s your excuse for his reticence?

I noticed that you passed over Cuba too, you sly old fox. Why can’t a man who has, according to you historically ‘argued and stood on the side of the people that he considers to be oppressed’ bring himself to criticise the actions of the Castro dynasty? What is the approved Corbynista excuse for that?
