Should MP Naz Shah have been suspended over her comments on Israel?
Two years ago the Bradford West MP posted some comments on Facebook criticising the creation of Israel. In those comments she shared an image of Israel on a map of the United States under the headline "Solution for Israel-Palestine conflict - relocate Israel into United States", with the comment "problem solved". The post was brought to light by the Guido Fawkes website, which also highlighted a post in which she appeared to compare Israeli policies to those of Hitler. She's received a lot of flak over those comments, resulting in her suspension. For her part she's repeatedly apologised, saying the language she used was wrong. Should that have been the end of the matter? Three callers share their views with Dil Neiyyar.
