Israel (War against Terror) (4 Jul 2006)

Michael Fabricant: The right hon. Gentleman has quoted from Ha'aretz in Israel, where people are quite free, but I should like to point out that I have not condoned terrorism on either side.

All terrorism is wrong; the...

Michael Fabricant: ...was a deliberate attempt by Israel to kill children. I do not accept that at all. Of course I have sympathy with those killed when Israelis go into Gaza and the west bank to try to eradicate the terrorists.
