Proceeding contribution from Joan Ruddock (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 July 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on International Affairs.


International Affairs

I entirely agree with the points that my right hon. Friend has made. There can be no doubt that Hezbollah started the conflict. Does my right hon. Friend not agree, however, that Israel’s response—300 Lebanese civilians dead, 1,000 injured, a third of them children, and half a million people displaced—is utterly disproportionate?
