Rejected petition Inquiry should be held on Naz Shah MP for her strong anti-Semitic comments/views

Rejected on

In a Facebook post in 2014, Ms Shah shared a graphic showing an image of Israel's outline superimposed on a map of the US under the headline "Solution for Israel-Palestine conflict - relocate Israel into United States", with the comment "problem solved" and it will "save them some pocket money".

The Board of Deputies of British Jews said the comments were "simply appalling". Her apology and suspension is not enough.
