Israel Fascism: Labour MP Censored by Keir Starmer (none / 0)

Labour MP Kim Johnson apologises to Commons after calling Israeli government fascist | The Guardian |
Kim Johnson summoned by party's chief whip amid condemnation of comments during PMQs
A Labour MP has apologised to the Commons after provoking anger by calling the Israeli government "fascist" during prime minister's questions.
Kim Johnson, the MP for Liverpool, Riverside, said on Wednesday afternoon she wanted to retract the comments she had made hours earlier, just five days after Holocaust Memorial Day.
Her apology came after she was summoned to see Labour's chief whip to explain the comments, which threatened to mire the party in another row over antisemitism.
Johnson said during prime minister's questions: "Since the election of the fascist Israeli government last December there has been an increase in human rights violations against Palestinians, including children. Can the prime minister tell us how he is challenging what Amnesty and other human rights organisations refer to as an apartheid state?"
In response, Rishi Sunak criticised the tone of her remarks, saying: "It's important in this matter to remain calm and urge all sides to strive for peace."
Labour party officials condemned the comments even more strongly as soon as PMQs was over. A spokesperson for the party leader, Keir Starmer, called them "completely unacceptable" and said the chief whip would ask Johnson to withdraw them.

Don't wait for my apology 🤣 speaking truth to power.

Israel Fascism: Labour MP Censored by Keir Starmer (none / 0)

Kim Johnson row: Starmer is ignoring Israel's slide into fascism | MEE |

A blind eye
Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge, a stalwart of Labour Friends of Israel, has added her voice to this week's row, calling Johnson's remarks an "insult" to the legacy of Dame Louise Ellman, who was Johnson's predecessor as Liverpool Riverside MP. Ellman stepped down in 2019, saying it was over the party's handling of allegations of antisemitism under Starmer's predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn.
But it should not be "insulting" to Hodge, Ellman or other Labour Friends of Israel that a Labour MP pointed out a simple fact: that a fascist party is at the heart of the new Israeli government. Rather, if they care so much about Israel, they should be angry that fascists are in power. They ought to be at the forefront of those speaking out against Israel's descent into fascism.
But here we get to the rub. Israel's ever-greater extremism has been made possible precisely because it faces no opposition in the West. Israel apologists dominate the left and right in western capitals.
Labour "friends" have consistently turned a blind eye to the oppression of Palestinians. However much the situation worsens, they keep quiet - and impose that silence on others by accusing them of being antisemites or "insensitive" if, like Johnson, they dare to speak out.
