London – Paul Bristow, a member of the UK Conservative Party and representative for Peterborough, accused Israel of killing “dozens of Palestinian children” in 2023 in comments he made to the House of Commons on July 18.
Bristow went on to call for the coalition government to show “compassion and restraint” and insisted “all sides” need to put “respect for human life first.”
“We should never become immune to those deaths, and the tragedy of those deaths,” Bristow said in an address to the UK’s Foreign Officer Minister David Rutley. “Will the minister agree with me, and urge the Israeli government to show compassion and restraint and urge all sides to put respect for human life first?”
