ypical politician. Rather than give a straight answer to a straight question, he'll shout, be rude, deflect, try to change the subject and do anything other than answer the question because he knows he'll be shown up for the slimy two-faced creep that he knows he is
It isnt as simple as that.
In the interview Corbyn says Hamas and Hezbollah should be part of the peace process - and he is correct:
Henry Siegman, an expert on Middle East negotiations, says that no peace will be possible between Israel and Palestinians unless Hamas is brought into the process

The problem is that Hamas wont recognise Israel has a right to be a state. Also Hanas is heavily funded by Iran.
Is Corbyn deflecting when asked about his 'friend of Hamas and Hezbollah' -yes it would seem so.
Is Corbyn right to complain he isnt allowed to discuss the wider middle east conflict and that the interview is a piece of tabloid journalism? -I would say so, yes.
The problem is that Corbyn is a socialist, that means he doesnt like Israel, a successful capitalist nation. It means his approach to foreign policy is with that bias, which has led to the on going anti semitism issues in Labour. There are lots of things wrong with Israel and Corbyn is right to fight against it, the problem is he does not do so from a neutral stance.
Corbyn is flawed as a leader, but he isnt a slimy 2 faced creep. Compared to the 2 Tory leadership candidates Corbyn is a paragon of virtue.
If you want a good example of a 2 faced politician, look at Boris Johnsons record.
