David Cameron’s Muslim poster-girl, Baroness Warsi, has resigned from the Government over its policy on Gaza<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

She wrote on Twitter earlier today: “With deep regret I have this morning written to the Prime Minister & tendered my resignation. I can no longer support Govt policy on #Gaza.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Baroness Warsi represented the Government in putting out a candle at the Great War ‘lights out’ remembrance service in Westminster Abbey only last night.<\/p>\n

Overnight also, Israeli forces honoured a cease-fire by pulling troops out of Gaza, their mission to destroy the tunnels which Hamas used to carry the rockets it fires into Israel accomplished.<\/p>\n

So\u00a0Sayeeda Warsi’s inability to continue to support the Government has arisen in the early hours when the engagement is over.<\/p>\n

Israel launched Operation Protective Edge on 8th July with the stated aim of ending rocket attacks and destroying the tunnels. \u00a0Gaza officials say the four-week conflict has killed 1,800 Palestinians. They refuse to distinguish between combatants and civilians. \u00a0Some 67 Israelis have also died, mostly soldiers.<\/p>\n

Lady Warsi had previously called on Twitter for more ‘international action’ to end the crisis.<\/p>\n

On 21 July, she wrote: “The killing of innocent civilians must stop. Need immediate ceasefire in #Gaza. Leadership required on both sides to stop this suffering.”<\/p>\n

Three days later she added: “Can people stop trying to justify the killing of children. Whatever our politics there can never be justification, surely only regret #Gaza.”<\/p>\n

NO CONDEMNATION OF HAMAS HUMAN SHIELDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Colonel<\/a>
Colonel Richard Kemp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What is absent in her simplistic tweets is any condemnation of the Hamas policy of human shields which deliberately puts women and children in the front line. Despite saying that Israel has a right to exist and to be secure, she is now calling for an arms embargo against Israel<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0She has also, in her resignation letter to David Cameron, said that the UK’s ‘approach and language’ during the Gaza campaign …\u00a0‘is not in Britain’s national interest’, a curious phrase which looks suspiciously like a veiled threat of domestic Muslim retaliation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colonel Richard Kemp has extensive conflict and peace-keeping experience. \u00a0In 2009 he testified before the United Nations<\/a><\/strong> on a previous Israeli ‘Cast Lead’ operation\u00a0that Hamas was using human shields and that they were ‘expert at driving the media agenda’. \u00a0Although acknowledging that mistakes can be made, the Israeli Defence Force, he said, ‘did more to safeguard the rights of\u00a0civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare’ while Hamas ‘deliberately tried to sacrifice its own civililians’.<\/p>\n

Two days ago Col Kemp wrote<\/a><\/strong> that ‘Hamas make great efforts to segregate their military casualties to preserve the fiction that Israel is killing civilians only<\/span>‘, that ‘Hamas has a track record of lying about casualties’, of ‘Hamas forcing civilians back in once buildings have been evacuated’ and of ‘secondary explosions resulting from Hamas\u2019s own munitions’<\/span>.<\/p>\n

POLITICAL FLIP-FLOPS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baroness\u00a0Warsi was also\u00a0Minister for Faith and Communities. \u00a0In 2012 she spoke against militant secularism said that\u00a0Europe needs to be “more confident and more comfortable in its Christianity.” \u00a0At the same time she has been an advocate for Islamic banking in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the only time she ran for office, for the seat of Dewsbury in 2005, she distributed leaflets<\/a><\/strong> arguing that\u00a0Labour’s lowering of the homosexual age of consent from 18 to 16 (under the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 2000) was “allowing schoolchildren to be propositioned for homosexual relationships”, and that homosexuality was being “peddled” to children as young as seven in schools. \u00a0She backtracked by\u00a0apologising for her leaflets last year<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0and said she was \u2018on the wrong side of history\u2019 and ‘on a journey’ on gay rights. \u00a0Baroness Warsi abstained on ‘gay marriage’.<\/span><\/p>\n

She has shown she can flip-flop as well as the historical Vicar of Bray<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>( –\u00a0sung here<\/a>), but on Gaza Sayeeda Warsi has returned to her Muslim roots.<\/p>\n

Please pray for a Godly appointment to be made in Baroness Warsi’s place.<\/p>\n
