that there are other actors who are capable of challenging the dreadful silence of the international community; that not all Westerners are as complicit as their governments in the prolonged suffering of the Palestinian people. middleeastmonitor.com/20191202-new-f…

🧵Melanie Ward, the current CEO of Medical Aid for Palestinians, is facing calls to resign after announcing she will run as an MP for pro-Israel Keir Starmer's Labour Party.

MintPress can exclusively reveal her decades of work with Israel lobbyists and hatred for Jeremy Corbyn. Image
Melanie Ward first travelled to Palestine with the Israeli Embassy-funded Union of Jewish Students in the early 2000s.

On her blog, she recounted, "It was fascinating; we met Israeli politicians and academics and discussed a huge range of issues... We talked about the fear that ordinary Israelis felt about suicide bombings."Image
Ward's relationship with the Union of Jewish Students continued for two decades, with her delivering a speech for their panel entitled "Bridges, Not Boycotts" in 2017.

She was accompanied on the panel by Izzy Lenga, who trained with the Israeli military, and infamous Israel lobbyist and fellow Labour candidate Luke Akehurst.Image
