(Jewish Group) Jewish community leaders condemn Labour candidate for 'Zionist Slave Masters' Faceboo

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Labour's candidate in the Peterborough by-election has apologised for liking an antisemitic Facebook post that claims Theresa May has a “Zionist Slave Masters agenda”.

An investigation of Lisa Forbes's social media activity also found she approved of a message claiming Islamic extremists were created by the CIA and Mossad.

“I have enjoyed reading this thread so much," she commented underneath. “So much that trys [sic] to divide us, but there is far much more that unites us.”

Jewish community leaders said in a joint statement that her social media activity brought her suitability for public office into question.

The first post contained a video about a Muslim community's Friday prayers for the victims of the Christchurch mosque shooting in March, and Ms Forbes said she had liked this and “not the views expressed in the accompanying text”.
