KIDNAPPING defenceless toddlers and old ladies, slaughtering families in their homes and kids at a music festival or raining thousands of rockets on civilians is not self-defence, as Hamas and their supporters claim.

No different from ISIS.

Israel is one of our closest allies and we must do all we can to support them in this fight.

Make no mistake: What starts in Israel seldom stays in Israel, and we are already seeing vile antisemitic incidents trickling onto British streets.

We need the toughest sanctions and to ban the terrorist masterminds in the Revolutionary Guard immediately to cut off the funds for terror, provide safety for Israel and bring calm to the Middle East.
