Kate Osamor MP’s membership of the Parliamentary Labour Party has been suspended because she committed the heinous crime of suggesting that the genocide in Gaza, being perpetrated by Israel, should be recognised on Holocaust Memorial Day.

Here’s the gist:

As you can tell, some have seen this as the latest instalment of Starmer Labour’s alleged ongoing attack on the Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs.

Alternatively, it may be the latest instalment of Starmer Labour’s alleged ongoing attempt to stop black women representing that party:

Right-wing? Racist? And here’s the Jewish Labour Movement to support the suspension:

Let’s just remind ourselves that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague has recently confirmed that Israel is now on trial for genocide.

With the court that actually tries nations for genocide trying Israel, it is neither inappropriate nor offensive for people to voice the opinion that it is guilty.

What is inappropriate and offensive is that the Labour Party – the same Labour Party that has endorsed the Tory government’s decision to respond to the ICJ’s ruling by withdrawing funds from the United Nations agency that supports Palestinian refugees – on the basis of flimsy non-evidence from that pillar of propaganda, Israel itself – has suspended an MP for voicing it.
