UK home secretary urges Corbyn's ouster over his visit to Munich terrorists' graves
"If this was the leader of any other major political party, he or she would be gone by now," Javid wrote in a Twitter post. Javid is a senior member of the ruling Conservative party.
Corbyn has faced renewed criticism since Saturday, when the Daily Mail newspaper published photos of him holding the wreath during a 2014 ceremony at a Tunisian cemetery.
It appeared from the snapshots that Corbyn was standing near the graves of Palestinian terrorists involved in the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972.
In 2017, the Sunday Times revealed that in an October 2014 article published on the radical left-wing website Morning Star, Corbyn recalled a visit to Tunisia where he marked the anniversary of Israel's 1985 attack on the PLO headquarters there, laying wreaths at a cemetery commemorating Palestinians said killed by Israeli forces in various incidents.
Pictures published by the Daily Mail Saturday appear to show Corbyn in front of a plaque honoring members of the Black September terrorist organization, approximately 13 meters away from the graves of those killed in the 1985 air strike.
One image, said to be from the archives of the Palestinian embassy in Tunisia, seems to show the leader of the UK opposition participating in Islamic prayer.

Two were murdered in the Olympic village and 9 others were executed at the airport. A German policeman was also killed in a shootout with the terrorists during a failed rescue attempt.
