Did UK Israel Lobby Destroy Life of Jenny Tonge? By Woodrow Gillian ccun.org, September 4, 2007
I read the article Why Does The Israeli Lobby Have Its Grips On The Western World? By Ali Al-Hail. The article had the following quote.
"For example Baroness Jenny Tonge, a British
Liberal Democrat, exclaimed, according to the BBC during September, 2006
that, the Israeli Lobby in the West has its grips on Western Foreign
policies. The British Baroness was responding to the 'presumably' Western
democratic governments in failing to, at the minimum condemning Israel for
its obvious wrongdoing against the Palestinians."
Here is some additional information about Jenny Tonge
that is interesting.
in January 2004, Tonge was sacked as liberal democrat
leader by Charles Kennedy the Liberal Democrat leader "after saying
she could understand why a Palestinian
would become a suicide
bomber"
In 2004, Tonge led pro-Palestinian activists and
several Lib Dem MPs to stand for a two minute silence in honour of the
deceased Hamas
leader; Sheikh
Ahmed Yassin.
In 2004, the daugher of Jenny Tonge died of
"accidental" electrocution.
Jenny Tonge left politics in 2005 to care for her
grandchildren, and was replaced by Susan Kramer.
Jenny Tonge voiced support for Palestinians. After
voicing that support for Palestinians, Jenny Tonge's daughter died. Jenny
Tonge then quit politics which prevents her from supporting Palestinians.
Jenny Tonge's political seat was taken over by a Zionist person.
Quit an array of interesting coincidences.
