Baroness Judith Tonge

Mrs. Tongue was born in 1940, she became a Medical Doctor in 1960, and entered Parliament in 1997. She took up Israel's barbaric treatment of Palestinians as one of her causes.

She Committed Blasphemy

Speaking at Edinburgh University she said: - "The pro-Israeli lobby has got its grips on the western world, its financial grips. I think they've probably got a grip on our party."

She referenced a paper written by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt.

Jews Want Her Sacked
The chief whip in the House of Lords have made a recommendation with regard to Jenny Tonge to expel Baroness Jenny Tonge from the party's membership in the House of Lords following comments she made last week on the power of the "pro-Israel lobby."

Jewish Ambassador Outraged

Israel's ambassador Zvi Shtauber told News 24 he welcomed the news of her sacking.

"I understand it's a matter of free speech, but I expect her to express some sympathy for the victims of suicide bombers and not confining herself to confessing understanding for suicide bombers," he said.

MP Louise Ellman

A member of the Labour friends of Israel group who had earlier urged Dr Tonge to apologize, welcomed Mr Kennedy's decision.

"Her statement was borderline terrorism"

Pro_Israeli  Michel Ancram

Scottish Council Of Jews

Kenneth Collins, a former chair of the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities, said: "The comments were irresponsible and phrased in a way that people will take from them that she was in favour of terror and not peace, and I'm sure that is not what she intended."

Menzies Campbell

Sir Menzies Campbell also chastised Tonge, saying her remarks were "unacceptable" and had "clear anti-Semitic connotations."

Britain's Gay Jewish Community

What she said was offensive and she must be sacked.

Representative From Holocaust Trust

And Karen Pollock, chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust, said: "Jenny Tonge's remarks are based around one of the oldest discredited myths about Jewish people and serve to plant the seeds of racism for others to harvest in justifying acts of anti-Semitism."
