British MP condemned for criticizing Israel
By Gilad Atzmon
Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day, Liberal Democrat David Ward, Member of Parliament for Bradford East, made a comparison on his website. He equated the shoa[holocaust] with Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.
But in Britain of 2013 we are not supposed to think freely, we are advised not to follow our ethical intuitions or even to think historically or critically. The Liberal Democrats have already “condemned” Ward for his “use of language”.
Here is what Ward wrote:
Under pressure he later issued a statement in which he attempted to “clarify” this:
The time is ripe for our liberation.
Time is ripe for us to say what we see, think and feel.
