British politician resigns after anti-Semitic slur
A leading British MEP resigned yesterday after he was revealed to have sent anti-Semitic and abusive emails to a voter.

<snip>

The situation arose after Davies received an email questioning his comments condemning Israel as "an apartheid state".

The politician replied "Sounds like racism to me. I hope you enjoy wallowing in your own filth".

And in a further email Davies, the leader of the 12 Liberal Democrat MEPs in the European parliament, stated that if he were to stand for reelection he would “denounce the influence of the Jewish lobby that seems to have far too great a say over the political decision-making process in many countries.”
