Two
more Labour councillors have been suspended over allegations of antisemitism
as the party crisis deepens ahead of tomorrow’s crucial elections.
It
brings the number of Labour members suspended for antisemitism and racism
since Jeremy Corbyn took over as leader to 18.
Newport
councillor Miqdad Al-Nuaimi and Renfrewshire councillor Terry Kelly have both
been suspended by the party pending an investigation.
In
the latest case, disclosed on the Guido Fawkes website, Mr Al-Nuaimi used
tweets to compare Israel to the Nazis and to make connections between Israel
and so-called IS.
Mr
Kelly used his blog to speak out about the “Jewish lobby” in the US,
claiming it influenced foreign policy and even tried to rig the Oscars.
