John Mason, a former SNP MSP, has been expelled from the party after repeating his claim that Israel's actions towards Palestine constitute genocide. Mason expressed his disappointment at being expelled over a disagreement about the definition of the word 'genocide' but stated that he is happy to stand by his claims. He emphasized the distinction between war and genocide, stating that not every war can be classified as genocide. Mason will now sit as an independent in Holyrood.
