Quite relevant article from the BBC in 2013 :
' [Lib Dem MP David Ward has been summoned to a meeting with Nick Clegg following a series of controversial comments he has made about Jews.
The BBC understands the Lib Dems have invoked full disciplinary proceedings against the Bradford East MP.
He has already been reprimanded over remarks he made on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day about Israel and "Jewish atrocities" against Palestinians.
The MP said there was a "difference of opinion" with his party over the issue.
Mr Ward was forced to apologise two weeks ago after sparking a storm of protest when he said on his website that he was "saddened that the Jews, who suffered unbelievable levels of persecution during the Holocaust, could within a few years of liberation from the death camps, be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians...and continue to do so". ] '
WHAT IS SO ANTI-SEMITIC about Ward's comment ? ( Radical Ron asks )
