Margaret Hodge’s horror at Israel doesn’t ring true
Margaret Hodge: do you think she’s sincere?
Apparently a Jewish woman who helped drive many of her fellow Jews out of the Labour Party for anti-Israel sentiment hasn’t been to that country since 1994 and is shocked to discover the apartheid it operates against Palestinians.
Does that ring true to you?
Or is she just professing horror in order to validate her own behaviour over the last few years?
It’s a bit complicated but here’s the journalist Jonathan Cook to explain:
Here is Dame Hodge telling British Jews they can't 'stand by' as Israel sinks into the abyss. And yet she's been one of the main instigators of the purges in Labour that have seen those very same Jews expelled in disproportionately high numbers – for supposed anti-semitism

Hodge isn't concerned about improving life for Palestinians – that's exactly what Labour's anti-racist Jews were persecuted for trying to do. It's the Israel lobby's attempt to create distance from Netanyahu's fascist government as a way to maintain their own credibility

What do you think? Is it more deception?

Hodge is a truly horrible woman! The best that could happen is if she loses her seat before the next election!
With a plethora of anti-democratic laws in the process of passing into UK law, Robert Jenrick announced that the UK government was “working to outlaw BDS in the UK” and planned to take action in the next few months. Discovering Margaret Hodge’s record on this particular bolstering of Israeli interests may give some additional clues?
