London – A British lawmaker has been fired from her job as her party’s health spokeswoman after she said that there should be a probe into claims that Israeli relief workers were harvesting organs in Haiti.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg says Jenny Tonge was dismissed from the role for her “unacceptable” comments.
Tonge told the Jewish Chronicle earlier this week that the Israeli Defense Force should set up an inquiry into claims made in The Palestinian Telegraph, a news Web site, that members of the team were harvesting body parts in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake.
Clegg said in a statement that Tonge’s comments were “wrong, distasteful and provocative.” He said Tonge apologized unreservedly for the offense she caused.
what’s her email address and telephone number? I have some words for her.
Her Tong-u got her in trouble!
Lib-Dems don’t need this lunatic. Kudos to Nick Clegg for giving her the boot.
this is , was and always will be a problem. people say wat ever they want they don’t care if they don’t knw wat they are saying or don’t care if there is no proof.
It’s a start. There are many more anti-semites who need to go.
What a moron, believing some dubious claim made by an even more dubious website called The Palestinian Telegraph. Imagine believing everything you read on the internet, LOL!
Sometimes talk is NOT cheap, it cost her, her job.
The Lib-Dems are extremely anti Israel and always have been. Just follow their parliamentary record over the past 10 years. Jenny Tonge has been spouting anti-semitic and anti – Israel comments for most of her life. AND always had the full support of her leader and her party. Right now there is an election coming up soon and there is, understandably, a lot of anti Islam feeling among the UK grass roots so Clegg wants to be sure he doesn’t lose that vote. Don’t worry after the election Tonge will be back and the Lib-Dems will do full Teshuva.
BTW Jenny Tonge is a member of the unelected House of Lords. She is not a lawmaker and can’t be fired.
If it were the other way around, the Muslim world would be up in arms and she would be facing dozens of law suits … We, idiots, will take this lying down and it will die down in a matter of 3 days.

The pt you missed was her quoting a “palestinian” source as though whatever comes out from them is never a deliberate lie to impune the Jewish State.
Consider as well America’s mainstream media for those who watch television serves as propaganda conduits for the Muslims (not all Muslims are Arabs) when Israel is defending herself and her people from Islamic terrorism. They use Muslim sources for news reports and broadcast them without checking the veracity of the information. As well using fauxtography sources from Muslim sources that get splashed over the internet. Thankfully Michelle Malkin and others internet blogs exposed the misrepresentations in fauxtographic depictions. One of its perpetrators during the war against the terrorist infrastructure in Lebanon worked for a frequently used news source and was fired! How often does that happen?
