Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel

Deliberately and pointedly using Holocaust references to criticise Israel is antisemitic, and yet this week two Independent MPs did exactly that. They disgrace themselves - and bring shame onto Parliament. My thoughts in @JewishChron thejc.com/opinion/pro-ga…

💥Israeli Opposition Leader Yair Lapid: "I want to warn Israeli citizens: The government failed in the war in Gaza. This is not a complete victory, it is a complete disaster. This is a strategic failure, which leads to operational and political failure. It doesn't have to be like…

🚨Excl British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari exclusively speaks to the Daily Mail’s @AndyJehring about her time in Hamas captivity. In it she reveals: 💥She was kept in a cage 💥Hid the fact she was gay 💥 Grabbed a terrorist's gun and begged for death mol.im/a/14940829

Whatever your view on Israel-Palestine, if you think it’s about imperialism and/or colonialism, you’ve got it wrong and you don’t know anything about it. You’re putting the conflict through an inappropriate western leftist lens.

Who is blocking the ceasefire in Gaza?

The western left has lost its mind on Palestine. It has become issue number one, which when you consider everything else happening in the world right now, is totally insane.

For James O'Brien to uncritically read out this outrageous claim as the truth is irresponsible and dangerous journalism. At a time of heightened antisemitism when synagogues and Jewish schools require increased security, the threat created by such unsubstantiated claims is real.…

Listened to two substantial interviews with the Foreign Secretary this morning. He didn’t mention Hamas or the Israeli hostages once. Why?

Chasing a Jew through London and shouting “Free Palestine” is an act of brazen antisemitism. This is the true face of Palestine protesters. Some may see a Jewish person and think that, because they are Jewish, they are fair game to harass in the name of “freeing Palestine”.…

The previous Chief Rabbi, Lord Sacks, wrote this 9 years ago.

This is such sad news. David was a kind, wise man whose advice was always offered gently…and always seemed to turn out to be accurate! Much love to his family. ❤️

Deeply saddened to hear of the death of David Alliance. A businessman who did so much for the textile industry in Manchester and beyond, I also hugely appreciated his long relationship with the Liberal Democrats. Condolences to Homa, his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

We are heartbroken at the passing of one of LDFI’s Honorary Vice Presidents, Lord Alliance CBE. David was a true friend of Israel & remained a key supporter of ours for over 30 years. We send our deep condolences to his wife, Homa & the whole family. May his memory be a blessing.

Yesterday Lib Dem parliamentarians, including Foreign Affairs leads @CalumMillerLD & @monicabeharding, heard the harrowing testimony of Aviva & Keith Siegel held by Hamas for 51 and 484 days respectively. Their courage & advocacy for the remaining 50 hostages is extraordinary.

This is misleading. Abbott’s letter did not say that the racism suffered by Jews and Travellers is different from that suffered by black people. She wrote that Jews and Travellers do not suffer racism at all, but merely prejudice similar to that suffered by redheads.

“Mr. Prime Minister, the only people who “engineer" reality are the people who work for you in your office. If they were telling you the truth, they would tell you the people of Israel want the war to end and the hostages to come home.” @YairLapid speaking today at the Knesset

For years, we’ve heard the phrase “the UN reported” being used to launder lies about Israel while ignoring Hamas’ atrocities and violations of international law. The source? Almost always Francesca Albanese, one UN’s so-called rapporteur on “Palestinian rights.” In reality: a…

Can’t quite believe I have seen a protester dressed up like this outside Parliament.
