Of course she is sorry.. she got caught.

[martin14]

She has finally been suspended from the Labour Party.. for now.

Islam is a religion of peace.

Unless they think no one's watching.

[Delwin]

So let me get this straight, sometime before becoming an MP she shared a post that suggested that a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would be to relocate Israel to the US?

I dont know why they bothered with the suspension, Is the executioner on vacation or something?

No, I'm back now.

[Delwin]

Ok, I have to ask, if this was about any other conflict in the world, would we be calling it racist?

For example if I stated that a solution to the North Korea conflict would be to relocatr North Korea to China, does that make me a complete racist?

[martin14]

OK, I have to ask, why are you trying to deflect the thread after 3 posts ?

Why not stuff the hypothetical BS and deal with the issue as it is ?

[Delwin]

Well I'm really just trying to get to the source of the anger here and I am completely on topic.

If I stated that a solution to the North Korea conflict would be to relocate North Korea to China, does that make me a complete racist?

If an MP said it, should they be instantly fired?

More amazing that a flake like Corbyn didn't give her a front row seat on the opposition bench considering what she said is probably what anywhere from 50 to 80% of Labour members really believe. The happy faces of the Blair & Brown days is pretty much dead. It's now back to the frothing rabies the Labour party of the 1960's & 70's had on display all the time.

'Relocating' Jews has been done before and the mention of relocating them again has some very disturbing connotations.

Should have carved Israel out of Arizona instead. Trump would approve. The Isrealis are good at wall building.

It's funny, anti Semites used to be a right wing thing.

But more and more, it's Labour in the UK who are running into real problems with this.

$1:

Naz Shah

$1:

Labour peer Baroness Royall is already leading an inquiry after Oxford University Labour Club's co-chairman resigned, claiming a 'large proportion' of its members had 'some kind of problem with Jews'.
It was reported today the group includes Mohammad Shabbir, a staff member of Ms Shah who repeatedly used the racial epithet 'zio' in social media posts about Israelis.

$1:

Earlier this month, a Labour councillor in Luton Aysegul Gurbuz was suspended after she was alleged to have called Adolf Hitler the 'greatest man in history'.
She said she hoped Iran would use a nuclear weapon to 'wipe Israel off the map'.

$1:

And the party suspended councillor Khadim Hussain, former Lord Mayor of Bradford, for sharing a Facebook post that said: 'Your school education system only tells you about Anne Frank and the six million Zionists that were killed by Hitler.

Just can't see the connection.

$1:

Last month, Labour kicked out Gerry Downing for a second time over allegations he had written blogs including about the 'Jewish question' and made statements seen by some as apologising for the 9/11 terrorists.

Gerry is a real 70's era revolutionary Stalinist. When you write stuff like this, you will get noticed.

$1:

“Why Marxists must address the Jewish Question”. The piece speaks for itself:

“The role Zionists have played in the attempted witch-hunt against Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour leadership campaign is glaringly obvious… Since the dawning of the period of neo-liberal capitalism in the 1970s, elements of the Jewish-Zionist bourgeoisie, from Milton Friedman to Henry Kissinger to the pro-Israel ideologues of the War on Terror, have played a vanguard role for the capitalist offensive against the workers.”

Our PD's best ramblings couldn't sharpen this guy's pencil.

Not a bad idea, then they could appropriate everything from Tijuana to Puerto Vallarta for illegal settlements.
