UK Labour MP Suspended For Declaring Hitler Was A Zionist

The UK Labour Party is in utter disarray after a series of anti-Semitic statements by MPs surfaced and received public attention. The left-wing British party has had a “Jew” problem for some time now, but only recently has it been forced to come terms with the metastatic anti-Semitism festering in its underbelly. After Labour party officials suspended Muslim MP Naz Shah for her brazen comments (several years ago, mind you) suggesting that Jews in Israel should be physically transported to the United States, another Jew-hating MP has come out of the woodworks. Ironically, this MP spewed Jew-hatred during a futile attempt to defend Shah.

In an interview with BBC Radio London on Thursday morning, former London mayor and Labour MP Ken Livingstone suggested that Nazism embraced Zionism, in some perverse attempt to bifurcate Judaism and Zionism and imply that Shah’s grotesque comments about Jews residing the Jewish State were within the bounds of legitimate political discourse.
