Excellent from @LordIanAustin on yet ANOTHER debate on the evils of Israel:
As he says: âOver the last few years, Parliament has discussed Israel more than any other issue, not just any international issue, more than any domestic issue: more than the economy, unemployment, crime, the NHS.
âThe public out there look at Parliament and think this is utterly mad, utterly, utterly mad.â
Lord Ian blames Parliament for helping fuel antisemitism adding:
âDoes Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding its standards not applied to anywhere else, falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes? âThis is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community, and I have to say this is why I believe Parliament is playing a large role in driving the explosion of anti-Semitism that we've seen on the streets of Britain.â
