Louise Ellman MP doesn't say much in Parliament, but when she does speak she seems to speak only for the Israeli government rather than for the people she represents.
Hansard excerpts:
Tuesday, 30 March 2004
Louise Ellman (Liverpool, Riverside, Lab/Co-op)
Will the Foreign Secretary accept that the views expressed up to now this morning do not reflect the views of all hon. Members? Does he understand that Israel's action in killing Sheikh Yassin was a legitimate response to an extraordinary situation? [Interruption.]
Michael Martin (Speaker)
Order. Let the hon. Lady speak.
Louise Ellman (Liverpool, Riverside, Lab/Co-op)
Sheikh Yassin was the leader of the terrorist organisation, Hamas, which is dedicated to the destruction of the state of Israel, and which greets every attempt to make peace and reconciliation possible with more killings of civilians, whether they be young people in pizzerias and discos or old people at religious ceremonies sitting round the Passover Seder table. Does my right hon. Friend understand that Hamas is the enemy of peace; and can he give us any news as to whether he will follow the lead of the European Union in banning Hamas and its activities in the United Kingdom?
