British Labor Party has been in turmoil for several weeks, due to comments deemed anti-Israel – even anti-Semitic – made by two legislative candidates. One of the candidates, Azhar Ali, was stripped of Labor's nomination in the parliamentary by-election in Rochdale, in the north of England, which was held on Thursday February 29.
Another Labor parliamentary candidate, Graham Jones, was suspended pending the outcome of an investigation. These affairs put Keir Starmer, leader of Labor, in an embarrassing situation. He seeks to put an end to the accusations made against his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn.
