A Labour general election candidate has quit after the JC exposed her postings in which she likened the actions of the Israeli state to that of a child abuser.
Kate Ramsden – the candidate for the Scottish seat of Gordon – stood down as it emerged she had claimed antisemitism smears against Jeremy Corbyn were being "orchestrated by the wealthy establishment."
In an apparent reference to Jewish suffering in the Holocaust, the Unison trade union official also wrote of Israel: "Like many abusers, unable to reflect on their own abuse, and ending up recreating it in the abuse of others, exerting their power in those weaker than themselves because once they were the powerless."
On Thursday Labour said Ms Ramsden had stepped down for "personal reasons" and claimed the party had detected her numerous social media postings relating to the party's antisemitism crisis in advance of the JC's revelations.
