A Scottish MP has been condemned for ‘despicable’ comments justifying Hamas holding innocent Israelis hostage as it’s ‘the only bargaining power’ the terror group has left.
Angus MacDonald provoked outrage after claiming if the terror group released the hostages they seized in 2023 then Israel would ‘obliterate’ Palestine.
The Liberal Democrats are now facing calls to suspend the MP for his ‘vile moral bankruptcy’ about the innocent victims of Hamas.
Anti-Semitism campaigners joined political opponents in condemning the remarks, made in response to one of his constituents on social media site Facebook.
Mr MacDonald, who represents Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire, last night refused to issue an apology to the families of innocent Israeli hostages and the Scottish Lib Dems defended the comments and claimed he was not justifying or defending hostage-taking.
