DAVID Lammy, what the hell happened to you?
A man, sitting on debris, reacts as Palestinians conduct a search and rescue operation after the second bombardment of the Israeli army in the last 24 hours at Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza CityA Harvard-educated barrister, you were bold and outspoken in your assault on Brexiters – “likening cheerleaders of the cause in the European Research Group to Nazis”, according to the Financial Times.
In short, you are not a thoughtless man, you do not lack empathy and you have fought for persecuted minorities – at home and abroad. Your 76% vote share in 2019 reflects your popularity as a campaigner and straight-talker. Especially countries with their own lived experience of militant/terrorist action in Northern Ireland and decades of armed response which culminated eventually in the difficult journey towards a ceasefire and more lasting peace.
The views of these pro-ceasefire Jewish communities should be heeded and respected too – not least because they chime with most of Britain. The Muslim Association tweeted yesterday: ‘There can be no justification, legal or otherwise, for the murder of civilians. You are complicit in war crimes @DavidLammy.”And later: “In light of @UKLabour’s failure to call for a ceasefire, and @DavidLammy thinking it ‘legally justifiable’ to bomb a refugee camp, we thought we’d help the Labour Party launch their election campaign early. Vote Labour, Get War Crimes.
