Proceeding contribution from Gordon Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Arms Export Controls.


Arms Export Controls

The Gaza strip is twice the size of my Pendle constituency, but it has a population 17 times as large. I think that the right hon. Gentleman is saying that it is impossible for the military to strike surgically in the circumstances to which he has referred. Is he also telling us that he believes that Israel committed war crimes during the attack in December because civilians would inevitably be caught up in the fighting in the way that he describes?
