Scottish National Party (SNP) lawmaker John Mason has been expelled from the ruling political party following widespread condemnation of his controversial remarks about Israel’s actions in Gaza. Mason had stated that if Israel intended to commit genocide in Gaza, “it would have killed 10 times more.” The SNP slammed the comment as “utterly abhorrent” and “flippant,” criticizing him for dismissing the deaths of over 40,000 Palestinians.
Despite his removal, Mason remains defiant, expressing disappointment over the party’s decision and standing by his previous remarks. The fallout has sparked significant debate within the political landscape in Scotland.
