We know they are riddled with anti semites so hardy surprising they want to defend their "freedom fighter" buddies.

I agree with Sir Ephraim Mirvis that this "feeds the falsehood that Israel is in breach of international humanitarian law and it beggars belief that the British government, a close strategic ally of Israel, has announced a partial suspension of arms licences, at a time when Israel" is fighting a war" and criticising "the timing of the announcement on a second front, which he said came as "six hostages murdered in cold blood by cruel terrorists were being buried by their families".
Clearly not NJ, but then the left love hyperbole.
I'm not surprised at all, and Lammy appears to be hiding behind "Interrnational law" whatever that is.
It is interesting though to note it is not a full embargo just a token (At present) so I suspect their Hamas friends will still not be happy. Once again Labour pees everyone off!
Labour MP Graham Stringer actually talks common sense on this issue: “Jeremy [Corbyn] went past any possible defence of him and his politics when he laid a wreath for Black September in Tunisia. Black September, you'll remember, were a group that murdered Israeli athletes of the 1972 Munich Olympic Games.
“They murdered them because they were Jewish for no other reason. It was a racist murder. So I think that put Jeremy beyond the pale.
“He's always referred to Hamas in Gaza as ‘friends’ so I suppose he is happier now he wouldn't have to dance on the head of a pin about whether he really is friends with terrorist organisations or not.
“‘Pro-Hamas’, I think, rather than Palestine. Many of us would make that distinction, who want justice for the people who live in Gaza, but that's impossible while they are repressed by the terrorist organisation Hamas.
“I didn't go to any of those constituencies during the General Election, but I have talked to people who did. And it was straightforward politics of telling people in the mosques to support them, that the Labour Party was anti-Muslim, which we're not, and to vote for them because they were supporting Hamas and the Palestinians in Gaza.
“And all the other issues that those constituencies have, those constituencies, not only have large numbers of Muslims, there are other problems of, obviously, an education in those constituencies that weren't dealt with.
“And I don't know the man, but I watched the maiden speech of the member of Leicester South, and it was quite simply appalling. It was a massive distortion of what had actually happened in that election.
“If you listen to the speech, it was all peace and light; all the candidates were friends. It was nonsense and offensive.
“I know that the UK probably provides less than 1% of Israel's defence, and most of it is not used in the conflict with Hamas or Hezbollah for that matter.
“So I don't know the details, but when Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran have as their policy the eradication of Israel and the murder of Jews, then Israel and the Jews who live in Israel have an absolute right to defend themselves.
“They're our allies, and we should provide them with the equipment to defend themselves."
Shame this guy isn't the Foreign Secretary. Instead we have Dimwit Lammy.
