The
UK's Labour Party has dropped an investigation into an 82-year-old disabled Jewish woman for alleged antisemitism after she threatened to sue the party for illegally discriminating against her based on her belief in anti-Zionism.
Diana Neslen, a practising Jew who was being investigated by Labour for alleged antisemitism for the third time in less than three years, had been accused of antisemitism over tweets she posted about Israel and Zionism.
The Guardian newspaper reported in December that in a pre-action letter to Labour, Neslen's lawyers, Bindmans, had said Labour’s investigation was totally unjustified and disproportionate as it rested on a single tweet from 2017, which said, “the existence of the state of
Israel is a racist endeavour and I am an antiracist Jew”.
