London: Britain’s Labour Party on Wednesday suspended one of its own parliamentarians pending an investigation into allegations she shared anti-semitic posts on social media.

Bradford West MP Naz Shah told the House of Commons she ‘profoundly’ regretted the posts made in 2014, before she became an MP.

Shah shared a graphic of Israel superimposed onto the United States under the words ‘Solution for Israel-Palestine Conflict — Relocate Israel into United States’, adding the comment: ‘Problem solved.’

She also used the hashtag #IsraelApartheid above a quote saying ‘Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal’.

Shah and party leader Jeremy Corbyn had ‘mutually agreed that she is administratively suspended from the Labour Party,’ a party spokesman said.

‘Pending investigation, she is unable to take part in any party activity.’

Corbyn called the comments ‘offensive and unacceptable’, but initially declined to suspend Shah, a decision described as ‘quite extraordinary’ by Prime Minister David Cameron.

Shah quit as a parliamentary assistant to shadow chancellor John McDonnell on Tuesday before making the apology to parliament on Wednesday.

‘I accept and understand that the words I used caused upset and hurt to the Jewish community and I deeply regret that,’ she said.

‘Anti-Semitism is racism, full stop.’

Corbyn has been urged to distance himself from far-left activists accused of anti-semitism.
