Tory Lord visits Israel and voices unequivocal support for the genocide in Gaza
A former Government minister who negotiated the disastrous Brexit deal with the European Union has now visited Israel in order to link the UK’s Tory government firmly with the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
In a post on X, he stated:
I have just returned from four days in Israel with some House of Lords colleagues.
It was a sobering and emotional trip and I will write further about why soon. But we saw an Israel still in shock, battered by the war, yet determined to finish the job and ensure the terrible killings of 7 October can never happen again.
It was particularly moving to meet some families of the 134 remaining hostages with @bringhomenow and to see Hostage Square (as it is now known) ready symbolically for the hostages’ return.
It was also in appallingly bad taste – as responses very quickly made clear:
Another propagandist opines.
Trouble is they all get peanuts for their efforts to sell us out.Sure looks battered with that nice alfresco dinner table set, doesn't it? 👍 pic.twitter.com/mIYrGeNeuU

Are you on a different planet? You have a position of influence and power care of Boris Johnson. You are aiding and abetting the genocide. Hoping you stand trial

Exactly. Mr Frost you shame our country by visiting a country that is flouting and has outed UN resolutions + International law.

Go to Gaza. Have a look at what the 21st century genocide perpetrators are doing.
Children blown to pieces, corpses piling up, total annihilation of whole areas.
Famine. Disease. Death.
All caused by the Occupying power Israel. #GazaGenocide

Another tranche of our politicians groomed by genociders. Imagine Russia ran brainwashing holidays for our leaders!

Israel battered by war.? Did you go to Gaza , West Bank? Israel is an apartheid state committing genocide. I can't understand how anyone can support these atrocities

This has to be one of the most disgusting tweets I have read for a long time. https://t.co/cBnVj5hCUY

Battered by the war 😳😳😳😳😳- a country that has no army , navy or air force – you have got to be having a laugh

Finish the job. Have you no conscience? Disgusting tweet. Complete insensitivity to a #Genocide that has taken the lives of 15,000 Palestinian children alone in 6 months since October 8. https://t.co/eQuyeSzCBo

Plenty to eat I am sure on those tables. Meanwhile, #Gaza starves because Israelis will not allow food in. https://t.co/Gpcqf4eogx

Israel, battered? Are you living on the same planet as everyone else?

Not so surprising coming from him. No mention of what is happening to Gaza and its people, just unqualified support for Israel, the perpetrators of genocide. It’s becoming easier to understand what happened in Nazi Germany.

Yeah they can't quite get that word out their mouths … The money won't let them https://t.co/XCF18AmsQx

Perhaps this was the best response:
@CIJ_ICJ @KarimKhanQC @ICJPalestine
Please prosecute this & other disgraceful, shameful no marks in @UKHouseofLords who support/aid & abet/protect the terrorist genocidal apartheid violent settler colonialist racist Zionist state!#ZionismIsASettlerColonialistScam🫶Palestine🫶

Frost’s unqualified support for Israel’s genocide – “determined to finish the job and ensure the terrible killings of 7 October can never happen again” – marks him out as a supporter of this new holocaust. He should be dragged to the Hague along with all the other UK politicians who have made this country complicit in the worst war atrocity of the 21st century.

The thing is a member of the Lords SHOULD visit Israel, they SHOULD speak to families of hostages and those hostages who have been returned too. But unless they ALSO visit, or try, Gaza and the West Bank then they aren’t trying to gather any kind of independent information at all. No attempt being made to even LOOK LIKE they are anything but cheerleaders for an extremist government.
There are two sides in every war, the SAME two sides – the men with the guns/bombs and the innocent unarmed civilians. Guess which side always loses??
Excellent last point. Of course the Geneva Conventions were written to safeguard the innocent, unarmed civilians – but they’re no good if those with the guns and bombs don’t observe them.
