Mr Jonathan Djanogly (Huntingdon) (Con)
I am pleased that my hon. Friend has raised that point. The charge has been raised against Israel that it is committing a crime by firing on families. My hon. Friend’s point is an important one; there is a difference between firing on families because they are families, and because they are being used as a shield to hide army and control centre operations. As far as I have seen, where families have been fired on, Israel has agreed to investigate it, admitting that it is not the right thing to do and quite a different thing from firing on control centres.
Jim Sheridan (in the Chair)
Order. Interventions are getting a bit long. Can we cut them down, please?
