I do not want to be overly party political, but I have to make the point that we have consistently called this out. We have said that cutting off fuel, water and so on is wrong. I asked Deputy Carthy a straight question about whether he thinks that Israel has a right to go after Hamas, given what has happened to Israel's people. He did not answer. The reason I have difficulty in taking all of what he is saying as being bona fide is because, a day or two after that horrific attack, his former party leader put up on Twitter a photograph of some hill or mountain and said “Free Palestine” as if it was a justification for what happened. Now, he may not have meant it that way-----
