British MP: I Would Fire Rockets at ’Israel’ if I Lived in Gaza

Local Editor

A British lawmaker was criticized on Wednesday for tweeting that he would fire rockets at "Israel" if he lived in [occupied] Palestinian territory.

"The big question is - if I lived in [seized] Gaza would I fire a rocket? - probably yes," Liberal Democrat member of parliament David Ward tweeted.

He added: "The West must make up its mind which side it is on."

Ward's comments were made late last night on Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, he posted the message: ‘Sick of the mantra [that] ""Israel" has the right to defend itself." Palestinians have same right! Gaza rockets [are fired] because of failure in dealing with "Israel."

Last year in 2013, Ward was disciplined by Nick Clegg for ‘unacceptable' comments in which he accused the Zionists of atrocities against Palestinians.

He was suspended from the party for three months last summer following another outburst in which he appeared to question "Israel's" right to exist.

"Israel" has waged a 16-day offensive on seized Gaza, with sources saying 630 Palestinians have been martyred.
