HOW KEN LIVINGSTONE LEFT LABOUR IN TURMOIL AFTER CLAIMING HITLER BACKED MOVING JEWS TO ISRAEL:

Mr Livingstone, who sits on Labour’s National Executive Committee and is co-chairman of the party’s defence review, claimed that Ms Shah’s suggestion that Israel should be “relocated” to the US was not anti-Semitic.

He said that she had been a “smeared” by the “Israel lobby” and even invoked Hitler to support his position.

“There’s been a very well-orchestrated campaign by the Israel lobby to smear anybody who criticises Israeli policy as anti-Semitic,” he said.

“I had to put up with 35 years of this. It’s completely over the top but it’s not anti-Semitic. Let’s remember when Hitler won his election in 1932, his policy was that Jews should be moved to Israel.

“He was supporting Zionism — this is before he went mad and ended up killing six million Jews.”
