Vicki Kirby, a British parliamentary candidate for the Labor Party, has been suspended after she tweeted anti-Israel messages in which she asked why the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) had not yet attacked Israel, various reports from the U.K. said.

“Apparently you can ask ISIL questions on ask.fm. Anyone thought of asking them why they’re not attacking the real oppressors Israel?” the Labor Party Candidate for Woking said.

Kirby, 34 and mother of two, was announced as Woking’s Labor parliamentary candidate on September 11.

In a former tweet, she said that “We [U.K.] invented Israel when saving them from Hitler, who now seems to be their teacher?”

“I will never forget and I will make sure my kids teach their children how evil Israel is!” she was caught saying in another tweet.

A Labor party spokesperson said that “Vicki Kirby has been suspended as a Labor candidate.”

Kirby received a backlash on twitter from Israel supporters and was accused of being an anti-Semite.
