So ConservativeHome thinks that Cameron was right
not to criticise Israel over its onslaught against Gaza, because to do otherwise
would have shown him to be a "follower, not a statesman". Presumably, it is statesmanlike to stand by your allies and continue
to sell them arms, regardless of the thousands of needless deaths they cause,
and the war crimes they seem to commit? How Cameron`s refusal to speak
out against Israeli atrocities, because of a fear of offending some of his
party`s main donors, can be classed as "statesmanlike" beggars
belief!
Being a "statesman" must also entail allowing
your party to accept huge donations from known tax avoiders, whilst claiming to
the public that tax avoidance is "morally wrong", and also claiming in your
election manifesto that there will be "no NHS top-down reorganisation" and "no
VAT increase", whilst doing the exact opposite when given the chance. Hopefully,
the electorate will have a different definition of "statesman" in mind from the
Conservative one, and act accordingly, in May 2015.
