What would Gladstone have said about Netanyahu?

SHARE

I was just reading what Mr Gladstone wrote in 1876 about the so called Bulgarian Atrocities.

I am put in mind of what the Israeli army is doing now.

"...We now know in detail that there have been perpetrated, under the immediate authority of a Government to which all the time we have been giving the strongest moral, and for part of the time even material support, crimes and outrages, so vast in scale as to exceed all modern example, and so unutterably vile as well as fierce in character, that it passes the power of heart to conceive, and of tongue and pen adequately to describe them."

But England has no preeminent statesman like Gladstone to speak out.
