Britain's Labour Party on Wednesday suspended one of its own parliamentarians pending an investigation into allegations she shared anti-semitic posts on social media. Bradford West MP Naz Shah told the House of Commons she "profoundly" regretted the posts made in 2014, before she became an MP. Shah shared a graphic of Israel superimposed onto the United States under the words "Solution for Israel-Palestine Conflict - Relocate Israel into United States", adding the comment: "Problem solved."
She also used the hashtag IsraelApartheid above a quote saying "Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal". Shah and party leader Jeremy Corbyn had "mutually agreed that she is administratively suspended from the Labour Party," a party spokesman said. "Pending investigation, she is unable to take part in any party activity." Corbyn called the comments "offensive and unacceptable", but initially declined to suspend Shah, a decision described as "quite extraordinary" by Prime Minister David Cameron.
