British MP says Palestinian stabbing attacks ‘fabricated’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLabour MP Sir Gerald Kaufman says Israel “fabricated” most of the stabbing attacks against Israelis and said “Jewish money” was influencing the Conservative Party to support Israel.
According to the Jewish Chronicle, Kaufman read out a letter from a friend in East Jerusalem with the following accusations:
“More than half the stabbing claims were definitely fabricated. The other half, some were true, the others there was no way to tell since they executed Palestinians and no one asked questions.
“Not only that, they got to the point of executing Arab-looking people and in the past few days they killed two Jewish Israelis and an Eritrean just because they looked Arab.
“They fabricated a stabbing story to justify the killings before they found out they were not Palestinians.”
Kaufman also says “Jewish money” has made Conservative Party pro-Israel.
“It’s Jewish money, Jewish donations to the Conservative Party – as in the general election in May – support from the Jewish Chronicle, all of those things, bias the Conservatives. There is now a big group of Conservative members of parliament who are pro-Israel whatever government does and they are not interested in what Israel, in what the Israeli government does.
“They’re not interested in the fact that Palestinians are living a repressed life, and are liable to be shot at any time. In the last few days alone the Israelis have murdered 52 Palestinians and nobody pays attention and this government doesn’t care.”
