A Scottish MSP has been suspended by his party after stating that Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza.
John Mason, who represents Glasgow Shettleston, wrote on X: "If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they would have killed ten times as many."
After his suspension, Mason reiterated his position and told Sky News, "It's never my intention to upset people, but I'm not afraid of upsetting people in the sense of if I think something important needs to be said."
SNP called Mason's statement "utterly abhorrent" and accused him of "flippantly dismiss[ing] the death of more than 40,000 Palestinians," citing the casualty figures provided by the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry.

Not a serious party
They had a proclivity for selecting fishy party leaders: Salmon(d) & Sturgeon.

So now you can get suspended for saying something true? Even if someone disagrees with Israel’s response to October 7th, there is no way it can be called “genocide,” which means the complete eradication of a group and its culture. The only thing that sounds something like genocide is the Palestinian call for the elimination of Israel “from the river to the sea.”
No tilt in that kilt
The muslim first minister didn’t like it
Some of William Wallace? More like the Sons of Willah Al-Waliz
The Scottish Socialist Grievance party is decidedly anti-Israel and anti-nationalist
Glasgow is Scotland’s open air toilet for turd worlders. You wouldn’t even know you were in SCotland riding around the city.
Like “Braveheart.” The problem with SCotland, is it’s full of Scots.” “If we can’t get them out, we’ll breed them out.”
RIP Scotland.
That is silly. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, all the Palis would be gone by now. This is pandering to the emotional left.
“John Mason, who represents Glasgow Shettleston, wrote on X: ‘If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they would have killed ten times as many.’”
He SHOULD be canned for saying that, since saying 100 times as many would be closer to accurate.
Who blew the wind up their kilt?
Scotland is rapidly anti-semites now. Their politicians are punished if they don’t have Jews enough.
Well, at 10x one could consider it as “in progress”.
In any event, the ratio of civilians killed to Hamas killed is remarkably low, particularly considering how long Hamas had to dig in, and their tactic of using human shields.
