MP Whip Withdrawn After "Zionist" Tweet

Lib Dem MP David Ward has had his whip withdrawn after a controversial tweet in which he refered to "#Zionists" losing the battle.

In his post, Mr Ward questioned the continued existence of the state of Israel saying: "Am I wrong or are (sic) am I right? At long last the #Zionists are losing the battle - how long can the #apartheid State of #Israel last?"

It follows comments he made in January ahead of Holocaust Day in which he said that "the Jews", who had suffered during the Holocaust, had inflicted "atrocities on Palestinians in the new State of Israel".

He insisted at the time that his comments had not been anti-Semitic but apologised if his words had caused offence.
