An SNP member who helps oversee party conduct has quit after comparing Israel with Nazis.
Denise Findlay left the party over her posts on social media.
On Twitter yesterday, she wrote: “I’ve had to resign from the SNP. There are tweets where I’m arguing that Israel=Nazi should not be part of the definition of anti-semitism.”
The claims were aired on TV last night by Channel 4 News.
It follows the SNP leadership’s decision to over his sharing of an allegedly anti-Semitic post online.
And yesterday a union leader claimed he’d been snubbed by the First Minister after demanding action against a suspended councillor.
In November, the SNP’s Frank Anderson was barred by the Standards Commission from attending West Lothian Council meetings for three months.
He had shared an allegedly anti-Semitic article online which also referred to Jewish trade unionist Rhea Wolfson, a former Labour candidate.
GMB Scotland organiser Gary Smith said Nicola Sturgeon must now take action in the SNP.
Smith accepted there had been a “belated apology” but called for further penalties.
Smith said: “This simply isn’t consistent with a zero tolerance approach to hate.”
