The Jerusalem Post reports: Another three Labour Party members were suspended Monday after posting anti-Israel messages on social media, continuing a rash of damning revelations that has placed Jeremy Corbyn’s movement under scrutiny for widespread anti-Semitism.

The British party suspended city councilman Ilyas Aziz on Monday after a British political watchdog produced Facebook posts in which he said Israel should have been created in the United States and it was not too late to move Israeli Jews there. Hours later it suspended a second city councilman for anti-Israel posts.

Aziz, a lawmaker in Nottingham in north-central England, was suspended hours after the Guido Fawkes website posted screenshots of his Facebook posts, including the one in July 2014 during the Israel-Hamas war calling for the relocation of Israeli Jews.
