Journalist Nicole Lampert delivers a furious response to Ed Miliband’s Labour conference speech on Israel, Gaza and the prospect of a two-state solution. Miliband declared that Labour would “call out” alleged ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, evidence of war crimes in Gaza and what he described as Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. He also told supporters angered by the suffering of Palestinians: “We hear you. You were right.” Lampert argues that the speech reduced an extraordinarily complex conflict to black-and-white terms and accuses Labour of adopting increasingly hostile rhetoric towards Israel to prevent voters defecting to the Greens. She warns that legitimate criticism of Israel must not spill over into hostility towards Jewish people, declaring: “Jew-hate is popular, and that is deeply upsetting.” #EdMiliband #Israel #LabourParty Have you got a story?
