As thousands gather around the UK to protest Israel’s invasion and destruction of Gaza, we find a great article about a Manchester Member of Parliament speaking out. It concludes:
“We had an IRA bomb in Manchester which destroyed much of the centre – we didn’t send troops over to Belfast to murder 1,000 Catholics.”
Sir Gerald said he had been a long-term supporter of Israel and has personally known many of its prime ministers.
But he added: “I am not going to stand by and keep silent when the Israeli troops – with a dreadful government sending them there – kill large numbers of innocent people with no useful result at the end of it all.”
