is been taken um an offensive way and this is what he says briefly as well to times radio, what andy mcdonald had said as far as i can see in his quote. is that all israelis, all palestinians, be them jewish, christian, or muslim, have the right of self-determination, and if that is reason to remove the whip, then this is the most evidence we are ever going to need of a hierarchy of racism in our party, and with a hierarchy which puts us, muslims, rock bottom. what do you first of all make of the suspension? i guess we're talking here about the quote, the statement from the river to the sea, is seen as anti-semitic, but again we've had many people ' describe that that terminology and clearly um this mps did say and mention jews and muslims living together, it's not an eradications exactly, so so and palestinians do actually not just muslims by the way, they are you know of all faiths as well and backgrounds which we have to understand, so basically call call for peace, lose your job, call for a war, be a warmonger, you get to keep your job, that's it in a nutshell unfortunately that's happeni

and yesterday we saw the suspension of andy mcdonald, a web from the party from. uh parliamentary party for referencing from the from the river to the sea in a speech, not in the enchanted slogan, in a speech where he calls hope for democratic palestine with jews and muslims could live together. though and therefore we're seeing a growing momentum, so kier starmer seems to be digging in, but he is out of step with british public opinion, 76% of people called support an immediate cefire, and therefore we are seeing growing numbers of people take it to the streets, half million in the streets of london and saturday, growing numbers of the world party members and elected representatives, calling for seats fire, this is a growing momentum, and even if starmer digs in and refuses to accept this... this this call, he's going to do a reparable damage. many muslims believe that he's simply taking their votes for granted and are kicking back against that, many people would support balance that are questioning what's going on, so i think the real issue in britain at the moment is rishi sunt, the
