Sit back and read, with rapt attention, a debate and discussion at Westminster Hall about the situation of the Palestinians and the way the Israelis are conducting themselves.
An example of one MP:
"I have no quarrel with the people of Israel, but I do have a quarrel with the successive Israeli Governments whom some Israeli people chose to elect, and it is sad that the bright ambition for a better future of many Jews who move to Palestine has been tarnished by a state that is, although in many ways successful, in some ways a failed state. It has fallen out with most of its neighbours, so it cannot guarantee the security of its citizens, which is sad. I emphasise that I support the right of Israel to exist, and I also support a two-state solution, but how is that to be achieved, given the fragmentation of land, particularly in the west bank?"
Read more, and in full, here, on Australians for Palestine. The debate in the UK provides more evidence of the tide turning with regard to the support Israel has garnered in the past - and the increasing plight of the Palestinians, especially in Gaza.
