Pressure is growing on the Lib Dems to suspend a peer who described Israel’s actions in Gaza as a “genocide”. 

Baroness Meral Hussein-Ece also blamed Israel for the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital blast and shared posts which claimed no one in Gaza had committed a “single act of violence”. 

The genocide Facebook post read: “Have you seen a single person in Gaza with a gun or weapon of ANY kind?... Have you seen any [Palestinian Flag] commit a single act of violence. 

“It is not a war when one side has guns, bombs, soldiers, and billions of dollars in US aid; and the other has nothing. It is a GENOCIDE."
