Tel Aviv should not be above international law
The age of impunity for the Israeli government must end, says JOHN HAYLETT

BRITISH zionists succeeded this week in forcing an apology out of Liberal Democrat Bradford East MP David Ward for his comment that, if he lived in Gaza, he might well fire a rocket into Israel.

His comment was an ill-judged attempt to dramatise the plight of 1.8 million people besieged in an open-air prison for eight years while the international community fiddles.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews, which spearheaded the campaign against Ward, finds nothing worthy of condemnation in the Israeli government’s genocidal strangling of life in Gaza or its current murderous onslaught on the Palestinian territory.
