//In his television interview on Tuesday, the Labour leader insisted his presence at the Palestinian Martyrs Ceremony in 2014 had been to honour the memory of Palestinian activists killed by Israeli security services rather than the terrorists involved in the outrage at the Munich Olympics.
“The Black September attackers, some of those that were accused of that were actually killed in Paris and some of those were killed in Beirut by Israeli agents," the Labour leader said.
"And I, along with other colleagues who were, delegates to the conference, laid a wreath in memory of all those who have died in the hope that we have a peace process and peace in the future, so those raids are never repeated.
...
He insisted he laid a wreath at the ceremony "in memory of all those that died in the 1985 Israeli attack" on a Palestinian Liberation Organisation HQ and other victims of the Middle East conflict.
“It was laid on the grave of all those who died. Look I totally condemned what happened in Munich in 1972; appalling, totally wrong by any stretch of the imagination. I condemn all killing. All killing is wrong," Mr Corbyn said.
“I was there when the wreaths were laid. That’s pretty obvious. There were many others there who were witness to that. I witnessed many other people laying many other wreaths."
He added: “I laid one wreath along with many other people in memory of all those who died in the awful attack in 1985, which I keep repeating and you seem not to understand, was condemned by the whole world.”
I might have skim-read your article too quickly (apologies if so) but I can't find him "admitting to laying a wreath for terrorists."

According to the Mail's original article, the men on whose grave Corbyn laid a wreath were:
Salah Khalaf
Hayel Abdel-Hamid
Fakhri al-Omari
Atef Bseiso
It's alleged that these people "had links" to the same group that carried out the Munich attack, but unless you have some evidence the rest of us don't this is not actually proven. Sorry, but this is very far from "laying a wreath at the grave of terrorists."

Corbyn is hated by the establishment, by the ‘right’, by all their hangers-on, because he is the first Labour leader since Atlee who sounds as if he holds to socialist principles.
The thought that he could actually become Prime Minister and expose the ‘emperors got no clothes’ farce of Austerity and all the rest terrifies capital, and they will throw any lying crap his way to try and discredit him.
Baa baa cry the sheep, following in the wake.

Krom, this names three members of the Black September group responsible for the Munich slaughter. The rest might be in Libya, but these are in Tunisia.

There were eight Munich attackers.
Luttif Afif ( who used the codename "Issa") – buried Libya
Yusuf Nazzal ("Tony") – buried in Libya
Afif Ahmed Hamid ("Paolo")– buried in Libya
Khalid Jawad ("Salah") – buried in Libya
Ahmed Chic Thaa ("Abu Halla") - buried in Libya
Mohammed Safady ("Badran") - uknown, presumed dead
Adnan Al-Gashey ("Denawi") - unknown, presumed dead
Jamal Al-Gashey ("Samir") - unknown, possibly still alive.
None of these people were on the grave that Corbyn visited. Not their names, not their codenames. The people who are in the grave were alleged to be either members of Black September or sympathisers, but as far as I know this is unproven (unless of course you have some proof otherwise).
Now, whether or not it was wise for him to go to this event - or if he declared it properly - is another question. But the sensationalist allegation that he flew over to Tunisia in order to gleefully lay a wreath on terrorist graves does not seem to be supported by the evidence to me. In fact it looks rather made up.

//Why are you a Corbyn apologist.//
I'm not - I've said on here several times that he has made it impossible for me to vote Labour, however much I would like to. He's shown no real leadership on the anti-semitism problem in Labour and appears to have very poor judgement about who he chooses to liaise with.
What I don't like is that the press is becoming increasingly bold in just making up stories about him. This isn't the USA and I don't want the FOX News model of propaganda to thrive in my country.

Krom, I’m not going to spend hours searching but this is one of the men buried in Tunisia. Atef Bseiso was the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) liaison officer with foreign intelligence agencies and a member of Black September, a group from which the killers behind the Munich Massacre were recruited. Whether or not he was instrumental in some way in the Munich massacre is a subject of debate, but whatever he was, he was a terrorist.
It strikes me that if Jeremy Corbyn truly hadn’t paid his respects at the graves of those men he’d have been eager to dispel the charge by vehemently refuting it – but he hasn’t done that. Instead he said ‘I was there because I wanted to see a fitting memorial to everyone who has died in every terrorist incident everywhere’ … and that very clearly includes the perpetrators. Weasel words from a thoroughly disingenuous weasel of a man.
