Jon Stewart Criticizes UK Labour Party for Dropping Candidate Over Israel Tweet

Faiza Shaheen was barred from standing in the election after liking a tweet featuring a Daily Show clip about Israel.

Shaheen was blocked from candidacy due to social media activity deemed antisemitic by Labour's Jewish Labour Movement.
The tweet in question contained a clip of Jon Stewart's 2014 Daily Show episode discussing Israel's Gaza offensive.
Stewart called Labour's decision 'the dumbest thing the UK has done since electing Boris Johnson.'
Shaheen expressed shock and apologized for any unintended offense caused by her social media actions.
The Labour Muslim Network condemned Labour's treatment of Shaheen as 'unacceptable.'
