Labour MP sparks outrage after blaming violent riots on Israel

"A Labour MP has sparked outrage after blaming violent riots on Israel.

Norwich South MP Clive Lewis linked Benjamin Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza with the recent unrest witnessed in England and Northern Ireland. The former Shadow Defense Secretary, who was forced to retake his oath of allegiance after staging a protest, argued the “inhumanity” shown towards Palestinians led to rising Islamophobia in the UK. Lewis came under fire from campaigners, with the Labour Party receiving a complaint from Labour Against Antisemitism." GB
