SOME IN the United States see Jeremy Corbyn, the newly elected leader of Britains Labour Party, as an analogue of Bernie Sanders, the surging socialist in the Democratic presidential primary. Mr. Sanders himself said he was delighted by Mr. Corbyns win. Yet what the Guardian newspaper called the most astonishing leadership victory in any major British political party in modern times was not merely a blow against mass income and wealth inequality, as Mr. Sanders described it. It also validated a radically anti-American agenda that could accentuate Britains drift away from the trans-Atlantic partnership.
Mr. Corbyn espouses a foreign policy whose guiding principle is to oppose the United States and Israel by all means. It has led him to label as friends such disparate political forces as Hamas, Hezbollah and the populist government of Venezuela and to accept funding from organizations designated by the U.S. government as terrorist groups. Mr. Corbyn endorsed the Iraqi insurgents who fought U.S. troops and equated the Islamic States overrunning of Iraqi cities with the 2004 U.S. offensive in Fallujah. He said that Washington, rather than Moscow, is to blame for the civil war in Ukraine. In an interview with Irans state television channel, he called the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden a tragedy.

allow Argentina to jointly govern the Falkland Islands, and adopt a friendlier approach to Hamas and Hezbollah, they have every right to do so, and the US would have no right to interfere.
