Why is David Cameron being reported to the ethics adviser? | The News Agents

  • In the early hours of Thursday morning Layla Moran - the only British MP of Palestinian heritage- received news she’d been longing to hear for months.
    Her family had finally escape from Gaza. Through perilous crossings and treacherous check points a family of five - including a seventy year old grandmother and two young children- had walked to safety.
    As Layla herself recognises their relief is starkly contrasted with the two million others who can’t escape. Today we hear that story.
    And we ask why the Lib Dem’s have referred Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron to the ethics adviser over questions of whether he concealed what he knew about the illegality of Israel’s war. We will discuss whether there is a case for government to answer. And where the war in Gaza goes now.

Perhaps it is the fear of being considered anti-Semitic, which is also a disgrace, but it's just the far right Israeli government that should be called out and never the Jewish people.
