Baroness Tonge, a Liberal Democrat frontbencher, has been sacked after calling for an inquiry into allegations that Israeli soldiers supporting the relief effort in Haiti had been involved with organ-trafficking.
The Telegraph, 13 February 2010
Party leader Nick Clegg removed Lady Tonge as a Lib Dem health spokeswoman in the Lords on Friday, describing her remarks as ''wrong, distasteful and provocative''.
It is the second time she has been fired for making controversial comments about Israel.
The latest row followed accusations in the online Palestine Telegraph - of which Lady Tonge is a patron - that members of the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) had been harvesting body parts in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake.
She subsequently told the Jewish Chronicle: ''To prevent allegations such as these - which have already been posted on You Tube - going any further, the IDF and the Israeli Medical Association should establish an independent inquiry immediately to clear the names of the team in Haiti.''
Fellow Lib Dems were said to have complained to Mr Clegg about her comments.
... that even the Lib Dems are bought and paid for, Baroness Tonge excepted. Its not as if her suggestion was particularly controversial. After all, who would trust the results of an enquiry carried out by the IOF and the IMA?
Not surprised one little bit. I didn't expect the Lib Dems to be any different.All political parties/factions in the UK are sympathetic/pro Israel.
Question ,think,speak anything negative about Israel and you are out .Israel is the sacred cow.
