Member of UK Parliament Resigns After Saying Israel Should Be 'Relocated' to the US; in 2000, Nick Rockefeller Suggested the Same Thing to Aaron Russo
"He [Nick Rockefeller] even mentioned to me once that they were having a real problem trying to solve the Israel-Palestinian problem. And he talked to me once about [that] they were playing with the idea of bringing Israel to Arizona, and taking all the people from Israel and giving everybody a million dollars and setting up Israel in the State of Arizona to end that problem. That's a problem that they're not in charge of, in a sense. They're not controlling that problem." - Aaron Russo on His Conversations with Nick Rockefeller About the the Council on Foreign Relations and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (first 41 seconds of the video above; full transcript is at the end of this blog post).
Labour MP Naz Shah has resigned after saying Israel should be 'relocated' to the US
April 26, 2016
IB Times UK - Labour MP Naz Shah has resigned from the post of aide to the shadow chancellor after it emerged she had shared a post suggesting Israel should be "relocated" to the US.
The Bradford West MP had earlier apologised for the post, which she made in 2014 prior to winning George Galloway's seat in the 2015 election, and said in a statement that she was sorry for any offence caused.
She had shared a post on Facebook that suggested moving Middle Eastern Jewish people to the US, stating:
"The transportation costs would be less than three years of defence spending," to which Shah added "problem solved".The MP also offered to contact Barack Obama and share the post, which said it had the 'solution' to the Middle East conflict.
The post appeared on Shah's Facebook page.
But after her controversial comments were shared by political blogger Guido Fawkes and a subsequent backlash, Shah announced she had quit her role working for shadow chancellor John McDonnell.
