In 2010, Baroness Tonge was sacked as the Liberal Democrats' health spokesperson in the House of Lords after she suggested the IDF should hold an inquiry into claims it was harvesting organs from Haiti earthquake victims.
Six years later, she resigned from the party after being suspended following another row over Israel.
"I am at last free of being told what I must and must not say on the issue of Palestine, lest it offends the Israel lobby here, who like to control us, as they do in the USA,” she announced at the time.
