If anyone was wondering whether Bob Russell was a good judge of character, all they need to do is take a look at his choice of old flatmate: that Mike Hancock fella. The LibDem MP is in hot water for comments about Israel. Questioning Michael Gove about the new curriculum on Monday, the oddball repeated a now common smear from LibDem lawmakers: that the State of Israel is organising the government-sponsored and mechanised ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Remember Jihad Jenny Tonge and David “the Jews” Ward? Well Russell is clearly on the same page:
“On the assumption that the 20th century will include the Holocaust, will he give me an assurance that the life of Palestinians since 1948 will be given equal attention?”
One for “questions to which the answer is no”…
