David Ward MP.
It’s been a while since I’ve stuck the boot into the Liberal Democrats, I know it needs to be done but there has been other stuff to write about. Besides that they took such a pasting during the May 2014 local council elections, that to attack this dying and discredited party felt a little like kicking a blind man when he was down. I was going to leave them alone and wait for them to be either decimated at the next General Election, or to hop onto a light plane for a party-wide one-way trip to the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland.
However, just as I was getting ready to work out what flavour popcorn I was going to eat, whilst watching the Lib Dems disappear down the toilet come May 2015, along comes this story.
Now for those who do not know the Lib Dems are Britain’s sleaze, sex pest and ‘dinner party anti-Semite’ party. Smug and arrogant even when they are wrong, the Lib Dems are the epitome of style over substance. Thrust into Coalition government by an act of pure electoral chance when the British electorate did not deliver a majority for either of the main parties, the Lib Dems have spent the best part of the last four years being exposed as either perverts or shysters in one form or another. Their policy of being ‘all things to all men’ may have worked well when they were not a party of Government, and could get away with being Left wing in one place but Right wing in another. However, being centre stage has exposed them for what they are, which is a party riddled with sleaze, rabid euro-enthusiasm and a home for politicians that have some decidedly dodgy views, especially dodgy views about the subject of Israel and Jews.
A senior Lib Dem Peer, Baroness Tonge is probably best known of the the Israel-hating nutters that the party has within it. She was caught out distributing fake ‘blood libel’ type allegations about Israelis harvesting organs from victims of the 2010 Haitian earthquake. Sadly, Baroness Tonge is not the only Lib Dem parliamentarian or member of the Liberal Democrats who seem obsessed with the subject of Jews and Israel.
Another Lib Dem who has form in this area is David Ward. Ward was previously pulled up for a tirade in which he accused ‘the Jews’, not the Israelis mind you, of oppressing the ‘Palestinians’ and falsely accusing Israel of inflicting ‘atrocities’ on the people living under Hamas rule in Gaza. You will not be surprised that Ward represents a constituency in the very ‘Islam-heavy’ city of Bradford in the North of England where Islam-inspired Jew-hatred is probably nothing to write home about. In fact Islamic Jew-hatred is probably quite normal round there now, despite the occasional PR exercise by Bradford Mosques.
The Breitbart website has highlighted Ward’s latest bit of Israel-related screaming where he appeared to back Hamas’s right to fight Israelis.
Brietbart said:
“A Liberal Democrat MP has taken to twitter in an apparent backing of the actions of Hamas against Israel. David Ward said that he was “sick” of Israel claiming the right to defend itself and he implied that Israel was to blame for the attacks on its citizens as the Hamas rocket attacks were a result of their “failure” to be able to deal with the country.
Mr Ward said: “Sick of mantra “#Israel has the right to defend itself” – #Palestinians av same right! #Gaza rockets because of failure dealing with Israel”.
Ward has been in trouble before for his anti-Israeli rhetoric. In January 2013, he was forced to apologise for blogging on Holocaust Memorial day: “I am saddened that the Jews, who suffered unbelievable levels of persecution during the Holocaust, could within a few years of liberation from the death camps be inflicting atrocities on Palestinians in the new State of Israel and continue to do so on a daily basis in the West Bank and Gaza.”
He was later asked if it was racist to interchange Jews with Israelis when making such serious allegations, given that they are not the same. He said: “I’m accusing the Jews who did it, so if you’re a Jew and you did not do it I’m not accusing you. I’m saying that those Jews who did that and continue to do it have not learned those lessons.”
His comments are likely to infuriate moderates who point out that Israel did not start the war with Hamas. There will now be fears that his comments may embolden the militants and lead to even greater bloodshed.”
Methinks that Ward has been listening to the views of his constituents and the anti-Israel obsessives of the Israel Boycott movement a bit too much. He also seems to have forgotten that Israel gave the Arabs Gaza and instead of living in peace and developing their land, they chose instead to elect the genocidal fraggles of Hamas. If Ward cannot see that the problems surrounding Gaza have been caused by the Arabs yet again ‘never failing to miss an opportunity’ then he has shown himself to be a poor judge of both history and politics.

Didn’t they have some nutter of a councillor fire bombing buildings in the West Country a while ago? Hardly got a mention in the MSM
