Corbyn: Opposing war is not pacifism it is common sense

Corbyn says bombing IS in Syria is playing into the militant group’s hands.

“Opposing another war is not pacifism it is hard-headed common sense. It isn’t turning our back on our allies, it is refusing to play into the hands of ISIL, who I suspect want us to do this.”

The Labour leader says that Cameron has failed to make the case for bombing and that all efforts should be put into finding a peace deal ending Syria’s civil war.
