Jenny Tonge, Lib Dum peer, has been criticised again for upsetting the Israeli’s.

Tonge was sacked from the front benches for suggesting that the only difference between a Palestinian suicide bomber and an Israeli bomber pilot is that the Palestinian gives up their life and the Israeli goes to the bar for a beer afterwards.

Clearly suggesting that the Israeli’s are terrorists just like Palestinian militants is not acceptable to the Lib Dums, especially when they have a Liberal Democrats Friends of Israel.  I wonder how long Ms Tonge would last if she tried to set up a Liberal Democrats Friends of Palestine?

She is being denounced as an anti-semite naturally.  Online dictionaries are slow to catch up with this new definition of the word anti-semitism describing it as behaviour discriminating against Jews rather than the more common definition of criticising Israel or anyone Jewish.
