‘The other day I signed a ‘Get Well’ petition for Palestinian youngsters Adam and Johar who were viciously maimed and crippled by the British Government’s ‘friends’ in Israel.

The two cousins, 17 and 20 years old, were returning home from football training when they were attacked by Israeli soldiers who shot them in the legs then set their dogs on them. They were taken to an Israeli military camp and again badly beaten, and Johar’s knees were broken. Both are unlikely to play football again.

I was so incensed that I wrote to my MP with the details saying:

“Utter contempt for the thugs who did this, the unspeakable regime that allows it and the fawning idiots like Cameron and Hague who pledge undying support for it in our name. Would you care to sign the petition, Henry?”

Henry the MP replied:

“I will certainly raise this with our Ministers to find out what we have done and what representations we have made. However, I do take issue with your totally unfair and over the top attack on the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary.”’
