Green MP Sian Berry picks a side.
Full text:
My cousin Tsachi was taken hostage alive after watching his firstborn daughter murdered in front of him. In captivity he was denied medical care, denied visits from the Red Cross, starved, tortured, and ultimately murdered. His body was returned to us so mutilated that forensics had trouble identifying him.
My MP @sianberry never once contacted my family when Tsachi’s remains were finally returned earlier this year. No condolence. No acknowledgement. Just silence.
Yet she is content to stand smiling beside the mother of an extremist who now shares posts denying the torture and mistreatment of the hostages – lies contradicted by the detailed, harrowing testimony of survivors who lived through those abuses and the forensic evidence of those who were murdered.
Soueif’s son called for the killing of Zionists. He called for the expulsion of Jews from Israel. He praised Yahya Sinwar and other terrorists released in the Gilad Shalit deal as “heroes.”
As her constituent, and as someone whose family has paid in blood, the contrast is devastating – silence for the murdered, smiles for those who excuse their tormentors.
This sums it all up really – the extraordinary adulation of a vicious antisemite and his mother, while the suffering of Jews is of absolutely no interest or concern.
Have any of the luvvies who’ve been signing letters in support of el_Fattah and reading out his words in tones of reverence – the new Nelson Mandela! – shown any signs of regret? None that I’ve seen.
