For example were you thinking of voting Lib-Dem in London?

The details on their primary euro Candidate in London:


Liberal Democrats - LONDON

Baroness Sarah Ludford

In London a vote for the Liberal Democrats is quite literally a vote for Israel as their primary candidate, Baroness Sarah Ludford, is an ardent zionist who has a track record for doing Israel's biding in the European Parliament.

Baroness Sarah Ludford, Liberal Democrat MEP for London is a proud member of the shadowy group Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel.

Whilst the world watched in disgust the massacre of Jenin in April 2002, Sarah Ludford the Liberal Democrat Euro spokesperson for justice (& home affairs) was busy celebrating with the Israeli EU ambassador the 54th anniversary of Israel (17 April). Her website reveals that at the festivities she conveyed to the Israeli ambassador, Harry Kney-Tal, her disgust at Palestinian suicide bombings![1] A few days later she visited Jenin as part of the European Parliament fact-finding delegation (24 April). There she tried to cover up the facts - fighting to remove the word "massacre" from the description of the carnage in front of her[2] - she had previously described it as just "disquiet"[1].

She has consistently opposed all attempts by the European Parliament to boycott Israel. In an article for the Jewish News she admits "I ensured that the votes of Liberal Democrat MEP's were decisive in rejecting by 8 votes last autumn a proposal to cut off the EU-Israel Association Agreement."[2] The fact that the other Liberal Democrat MEP's voted with her to support Israel suggests she has effected official party policy and brings in to question the whole position of the Liberal Democrat Party in regards to Palestine - actions speak louder than words - when it counted they voted for Israel.

She rejects the 'right of return' for Palestinian refugees - something the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 13-2), the Fourth Geneva Convention (Article 49), countless UN resolutions (inc 194) and international law grants them. She admits "I happen to agree..that there can be no Palestinian 'right of return' to Israel."[2]

And its not only on the issue of Palestine where she opposes Muslims. She sidelines the growing Islamophobia in Europe and has attacked the decision of the EU's Monitoring Centre to commission reports on rising Islamophobia, calling it biased, saying that Jews in Europe are under threat and efforts should concentrate on highlighting this and publishing reports on anti-Semetism.[2]. In May 2000 she attacked French Muslims for ritually slaughtering animals without stunning (Eid festival), and demanded the EU commence legal proceedings against France over it![3]
