So basically, Caulfield is another Israeli boot-licker happy to endorse the slaughter of women and children? I was THIS close as well to giving her my vote as well, shame LOL

Just like Keir Smarmer and anyone else trying to get elected to Westminster Kindergarten.

Yes, most of Westminster are afraid to speak out against Israel in fear of being labelled an anti-semite, for pointing out genocidal actions of an ultra-nationalist far right-wing Israeli government. Any criticism levelled at Israel is denounced as anti-semitic by default. They conflate anti-zionism with anti-semitism for cynical means. Jeremy Corbyn is one of many victims of this propaganda and many credulous people fell for this and jumped on the bandwagon attacking him.

Back in the day when we were being attacked by the Irish IRA, did we bomb the buggery out of Ireland to find them ? No of course not ! Its absolutely unreasonable and they need to be brought to account. Just my take on it.

@Old Mayor - you know its bad when even the British seem compassionate as occupiers compared with Israel. But yea, i can't recall Britain levelling Belfast and killing over 20k women and children in a few months as a retaliation. I get the feeling that Britain never would have gotten away with it (for obvious reasons), and also even they didn't basically see the civilians in their occupied land as vermin. Israel however, have used such language when it comes to Palestinians and essentially want them all gone/out/dead, hence the obvious genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Just think what would happen if Israel was part of the Russian Federation.

I tend to support the analytic embodied by The Old Mayor on this one. This means that on one side, the Palestinians have been subdued mercilessly but on the other side Israel has been responding with much more vigor. Still, that they can conduct such a blatant violation of human rights and still obtain some patronage from western governments is something that I find reprehensible. Our politicians need to come out and denounce such acts and stop hiding behind skirts of Anti-Semitic tags. I know that the attitude of Maria Caulfield to this particular issue is quite worrisome to me and that is why I shall bear this in mind when voting.
