Lib Dem Layla Moran under fire for ‘shameful’ comment after Hamas attack on Israel
Lord Wolfson, a Conservative peer and former minister, tweeted in response: “The Government condemns. Labour condemns. The Liberal Democrats are ‘concerned.’ Shameful. ‘Concerned’ is when the council hasn’t emptied the bins for a week. Not when civilians are being executed at bus stops, in their cars, and their homes.”
Jeremy Brier, a KC, stated: “Thousands of rockets fired by Hamas — many murders of Jews — and abductions. And this is your response? No condemnation of the perpetrators. Without morality or shame.”
Delivering an obvious slapdown to Ms Moran, the Lib Dem chief Sir Ed Davey posted his personal tweet two hours later.
He stated: “Horrifying scenes in Israel and Palestine this morning. Liberal Democrats fully condemn Hamas. This terrorism must cease. Israel has a right to defend itself.”
