Proceeding contribution from Eric Joyce (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 May 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Middle East.
Middle East
It is also worth remembering to condemn Hamas a little more than we have been today. Some 700 rockets have rained down on Israel since January. I hear what my hon. Friend the Member for High Peak (Tom Levitt) said about many such incidents being a case of somebody trying their best in their back yard. However, Hamas has said that the purpose of the rockets is to cause Israeli migration away from southern Israel, so perhaps we should remember to condemn Hamas a little more.
