You know I am not going to read this entire thread so apologise if it has already been said, and I don't know what other comments she's had in her life and what the context was, however the original Facebook post that caused all this was a storm in a teacup. Many claim that the Labour politician seriously suggested all Jews should be relocated to the US - but she didn't. She shared a FB post (who's author is himself Jewish) that was supposed to be satirical and tongue in cheek. I remember seeing the post myself and not thinking it funney enough to share. I suppose the main point being that through the years the Israeli state could often expect support from the US to the extent that it may as well be another US state. Whatever one thinks there is a massive difference between sharing a humourous post (be it bad taste or not) and seriously suggesting people should be relocated.
