An SNP election candidate has been forced to apologise for comments comparing supporters of a Jewish state to fascists.
Jewish leaders and anti-Semitism campaigners last night urged the SNP to launch an investigation into unacceptable comments by Glasgow candidate Suzanne McLaughlin.
Among a series of foul-mouthed and abusive social media posts, Mrs McLaughlin, a prominent pro-independence campaigner, said: Lest anyone be in any doubt. Zionism is akin to fascism. #genocide .
In another post on the same day, she said that Israel is a terrorist state.
The SNP last night said Mrs McLaughlin had apologised for her choice of words but denied that they could be construed as anti-Semitic.

Poland’s three million Jews formed an important section of the country’s thirty million people, forming around a third of its urban population.
