Former UK Foreign Office Minister Sir Alan Duncan commended pro-Palestine student protesters, saying they are \u201cfilling a moral vacuum created by inadequate politicians\u201d.<\/p>\n

The former minister of state at the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office said pro-Palestine protesters are not antisemitic \u201cnor are they some part of a sinister Islamist movement\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are putting to shame a generation of politicians who seem not to know their history,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Duncan discussed Israel\u2019s actions in Palestine since the Nakba, or catastrophe, of 1948, saying it is \u201ca process that continues even now\u201d.<\/p>\n

Last month, the Conservative Party said they would be investigating Duncan after he criticised other party MPs over Israel.<\/p>\n

The former MP had told LBC the Conservative Friends of Israel group was \u201c\u201ddoing the bidding\u201d\u201d of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/p>\n

BRAVO! A great speech! We NEED MORE OF THIS! The world is turning against the satanic zionist state.<\/p>\n

English Script:
\nSir Alan Duncan: But let’s be clear as we sit here tonight, that those who have taken to the streets in the last few months are not anti-Semitic, nor are they some part of a sinister Islamist movement. Neither accusation should be allowed to detract from the fundamental cause they uphold which, is that Palestine has the right to be a state and indeed many\u2026 And the students who are campaigning in universities are not rabid militants. They are filling a moral vacuum created by inadequate politicians. So are those who have been marching every week to call for Palestine to be free. All Muslims are free of antisemitism and free of violence or vandalism, but they should proudly march on. They are putting to shame a generation of politicians who seem not to know their history, and who fail to appreciate the historic obligation to complete and fulfill the commitment made in 1917. So as we\u2019ve heard the Nakba of 1948 is a process that continues even now. Some say the atrocities in Gaza today is a second Nakba and many Israeli leaders are promising it will be. But in truth, it has been a continuous story of Palestinian dispossession and expulsion at the hands of Israel with international complicity. If ever any good was to come out of the violence of those first two years during 1947-49, it should have seen the creation of both the state of Israel and the state of Palestine. Who for the last 76 years, could have been living side by side in peace and prosperity.<\/p>\n
