“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.”

How dare he call for peace, sack him!

Starmer is a disgrace.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Earlier this month, Home Secretary Suella Braverman urged police chiefs to consider interpreting the chant as an “expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world”.

A Labour spokesperson said Mr McDonald’s comments at the weekend “were deeply offensive, particularly at a time of rising antisemitism which has left Jewish people fearful for their safety”.

Momentum, a left-wing Labour campaign group, branded Mr McDonald’s suspension “an appalling and opportunistic attempt from the Starmer leadership to silence those speaking out in solidarity with Palestine”.

The group said Sir Keir had “joined in with disingenuous smears put out by the right-wing press, which deliberately misrepresent Andy’s call for peace”.

The Conservatives have had their own party discipline issues over the Israel-Gaza war, with a ministerial aide earlier being sacked from his government role after calling for a ceasefire.

Earlier, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a press conference his country “will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas”.
