British Labor Party Mutes ’Israeli’ Criticizers: Suspending Livingstone after Shah!

Local Editor

As part of propitiating the apartheid "Israeli" entity, the British Labor party decided to mute any opposing sound to Tel Aviv.

Hours after Britain's opposition Labor Party decided to suspend the membership of Naz Shah, the party suspended a veteran and senior member, Ken Livingstone, after he suggested that Adolf Hitler was initially a supporter of Zionism "before he went mad and ended up killing 6 million Jews".

He further mentioned that for decades in the UK there has been a "well-orchestrated campaign by the "Israel" lobby to smear anybody who criticizes "Israel" policy as anti-Semitic."

The comments by Livingstone, a veteran former London mayor who sits on Labor's national executive and heads the opposition party's international policy commission, prompted the "Israeli" outrage.

"Ken Livingstone has been suspended by the Labour Party, pending an investigation, for bringing the Party into disrepute," Labor announced.

The problem erupted a day after Labor's leader, Jeremy Corbyn suspended an MP, Naz Shah, who had called for the dismantling of "Israel".

Livingstone gave an interview Thursday morning in which he attempted to defend Shah. He told BBC London, "There's been a very well-orchestrated campaign by the "Israel" lobby to smear anybody who criticizes "Israeli" policy as anti-Semitic. I had to put up with 35 years of this."

"Frankly," Livingstone also said, according to the Guardian, "there's been an attempt to smear Jeremy Corbyn and his associates as anti-Semitic from the moment he became leader. The simple fact is we have the right to criticize what is one of the most brutal regimes going in the way it treats the Palestinians."

Relating to Shah's Facebook post calling for "Israel" to be "relocated" to America, Livingstone brought Hitler into the conversation, saying: "Let's remember when Hitler won his election in 1932, his policy then was that Jews should be moved to "Israel". He was supporting Zionism - this before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews."

Defending Shah, Livingstone said: "She's a deep critic of "Israel" and its policies. Her remarks were over the top but she's not anti-Semitic. I've been in the Labour Party for 47 years; I've never heard anyone say anything anti-Semitic. I've heard a lot of criticism of "Israel" and its abuse of Palestinians but I've never heard anyone say anything anti-Semitic. It's completely over the top but it's not anti-Semitic."
