UK: Shadow minister’s aide suspended over anti-Zionist posts


Via Jewish News (h/t CFCA):
An aide to the shadow international development secretary has been suspended after endorsing a series of social media posts on Zionism.

Elizabeth Dudley, who was a member of Kate Osamor’s parliamentary staff, ‘liked’ two Facebook posts from a West Bank activist, who Jewish News revealed yesterday is to speak at an event organised by Newcastle Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

One incendiary post from Iyad Burnat said: “To the American people do not bother to vote in the elections. The Zionists had identified the next president.”

Another post from him that was ‘liked’ by Dudley showed the bodies of dead children with the flag of Israel alongside the swastika. Wording above said: “Is the Zionists terrorists? What is the difference between Zionism and Nazism?”

Osamor told the Jewish News: “Having been made aware of these posts, the member of staff has been suspended with immediate effect.”
