The Labour Party in Great Britain has suspended several local officials in recent weeks after they made antisemitic comments as the party struggles to overcome the legacy of its former leader and anti-Israel supporter Jeremy Corbyn.

In one of the most recent incidents, Mohammed Iqbal, a local politician in Lancashire, England, asked that the Palestinian flag be flown above the town hall, saying that what is happening in Ukraine and “Palestine” reminds him of the “justification Hitler had for what he did to the Jews in the Second World War.”

As reported by the BBC and The Jewish Chronicle in the United Kingdom, other suspended Labour Party members include Joy Wallace of London, who said a rabbi had been paid to criticize Corbyn; and Ansar Hussain of the town of Milton Keynes, some 50 miles northwest of London, who had spewed anti-Israel comments on social-media comparing the Jewish state to Nazi Germany, including claims that Israel has been trying to destroy the Dome of the Rock for the last 50 years.
