Labour suspends MP over calling for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
A note from Eamon Dyas
The phrase Andy McDonald used at a pro-peace rally was:
“We will not rest until we have justice. Until all people, Israelis and Palestinians, between the river and the sea, can live in peaceful liberty.”
The expression “between the river and the sea” seems to have become the latest “evidence” of antisemitism as the Zionist agenda advances into our vocabulary and the Labour Party. This despite the fact that such verbal advance is echoed in the actual territorial ambitions of the Zionists who are the only force in the area with the military capacity to so advance.
That territorial ambition continues to find military expression in the destruction of what is left of Palestine and continues to escape the censure of western powers while these powers persecute those who draw attention to it verbally.
