Left wing or Jewish?
Accusations of anti-Semitism are causing friction and rumblings of discontent within the UK's opposition Labour Party. It all started with an MP Naz Shah being suspended over comments she made about Israel on social media. And then the former Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, claimed in an interview that Adolf Hitler supported Zionism before the Holocaust. Eleanor Margolis, is a columnist for The New Statesman and she thinks there is a problem with anti-Semitism and the left. She has written an article about feeling that she must choose between her 'Jewishness' or her 'Leftness'. She spoke to Newsday's Julian Keane.
