Britain’s Labour Party expels Jewish anti-Zionist activist
Britain’s Labour Party expels a Jewish anti-Zionist activist following a disciplinary hearing.
Tony Greenstein’s membership in the party was revoked yesterday after a meeting of Labour’s National Constitutional Committee.
He was found to have breached three of the party’s rules: “offensive comments online; offensive posts and comments on his blog; and an email in which he mocked the phrase ‘final solution.’”
Among the offensive comments was the use of the term “Zio,” an anti-Semitic term used to describe supporters of modern-day Israel.
