British MP deplores Israeli practices against the Palestinians
Palestine-UK, Politics, 6/23/2004

Member of the British House of Commons Grinspen Plant said Israeli killings and homes demolishing policy in the occupied Palestinian Lands is unjustified and illegal, describing it as cancer that finally destroys the identity and spirit of any community.

In an interview to the British daily The Guardian published on Tuesday, Plant, following his return from a field visit to the occupied Palestinian city of Rafah with a number of British Parties' representatives, said he saw the debris of the huge destruction in Rafah.

"Israeli occupying troops killed in May 104 Palestinians and destroyed hundreds of houses, as the world public opinion paid no attention to those practices," he told the newspaper.

The British legislator added that Israeli occupation troops opened fire at members of the British delegation in a bid to prevent them inspect the debris of the destruction in the Gaza refugee camp.

He called on the peace-loving countries to compel Israel to halt its destructive practices which will increase violence and tension in the region.
