A Labour Party supporter of over 20 years and former director of the influential Labour Friends of Israel group has sensationally resigned from Ed Miliband's party this week, citing his response to the ongoing Gaza crisis, as well as other factors.
Kate Bearman, who has also praised Prime Minister David Cameron's response, wrote in the Jewish Chronicle this week:
I've been a supporter of the Labour Party for 20 years but my support is over.
I feel I don't recognise the party of principle and serious government that I knocked on doors and delivered leaflets for. It has let me down.
I feel Ed Miliband's and Douglas Alexander's rush to a condemnation of Israel's ground incursion into Gaza gave me no choice but to say goodbye to the party I have always voted and campaigned for.
In contrast, David Cameron deserves real credit for his objective and balanced statements on Gaza.
He has shown genuine insight into the horrific choices facing Israel's leaders as the country struggles to deal with a huge upsurge in Hamas rocket attacks and the discovery of the terrorist tunnels leading from Gaza into Israel.Read the full story: www.breitbart.com
