A member of parliament for Britain’s Labour party is revealed to have published a 2014 Facebook post of an image calling for Israel to be relocated to the US.
According to British political blogger Guido Fawkes, Naz Shah says she is sorry for the graphic, which she posted before becoming an MP for Bradford, in northern England.
Guido Fawkes says that although Shah promised yesterday to make a full apology, she has yet to do so.
The graphic was posted during Israel’s 2014 conflict with Hamas in Gaza, and makes reference to military aid given to the Jewish state by the US.
The revelation of Shah’s post is the latest in a string of controversial comments about Israel and Jews made by Labour members in recent months, many of which have led to suspensions from the party.
