SNP politician retweeted anti-Semitic ‘Rothschild’ pig message “in error”
A member of the Scottish Parliament has apologised for retweeting something anti-Semitic on Twitter.
Sandra White, a member of the Scottish Parliament for the Scottish National Party said she retweeted the image “in error” according to her party, and removed the retweet.
The anti-Israel MSP promoted the image originally posted by a user called Charles Frith.
It depicts a large pig with the word ‘Rothschild’ across it. Above the word is a picture of a bank with a red star of David, whilst Piglets are shown suckling the larger pig.
Each piglet shown to represent an international actor, including a British flag showing ‘MI6’, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, the USA’s ‘CIA’, Israel’s, and Boko Haram.
After the MSP for Glasgow Kelvin retweeted the post, an SNP spokesperson responded to the Jewish News by saying “this tweet was Re-tweeted in error and has been removed from Sandra White’s account. Sandra apologises for any offence caused.”
A separate image on the left shows Rupert Murdoch pulling the strings of leading politicians, captioned: “Why Murdoch and Rothchilds push for war.”
