The war between Hamas and Israel is mostly over. Meanwhile, a battle over the Holy Land is kicking off in Parliament. The APPG for Christianity in the Holy Land held its annual AGM today. The cross-party group, which exists to “promote the heritage and contemporary role of Christianity in the Holy Land,” had long been chaired by Reform defector and evangelical Christian, Danny Kruger. Crusader Kruger, anyone?
Tory wet, Simon Hoare, however, was having none of it and organised for 25 fellow Tory wets to turn up at the group’s AGM and vote Kruger out as chairman in a surprise attack. Israel looks like a beacon of peace and stability in comparison…
