UK Jewish group slams Labour MP’s ‘appalling’ comments on Israel

A spokesperson for the Board of Deputies of British Jews says a Facebook post by Labour MP Naz Shah that calls for Israel to relocate to the US is “simply appalling.”

“Naz Shah’s comments about relocating Israelis to the United States are simply appalling. She has since apologized and stepped down as John McDonnell’s PPS [parliamentary private secretary]. The Board of Deputies of British Jews has sought an urgent meeting for clarification of her views on Israel and the UK Jewish community,” the spokesperson says.
