Controversial remarks about Israel
In January 2004, while still a Member of Parliament, Tonge was asked to step down as children's spokeswoman by Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy after saying of Palestinian suicide bombers: "If I had to live in that situation - and I say that advisedly - I might just consider becoming one myself." Tonge refused to apologise: "I was just trying to say how, having seen the violence and the humiliation and the provocation that the Palestinian people live under every day and have done since their land was occupied by Israel, I could understand..."[9][10]
Tonge said in 2006: "The pro-Israeli lobby has got its grips on the western world, its financial grips. I think they've probably got a grip on our party." In response, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Menzies Campbell chastised Tonge, saying her remarks were "unacceptable" and had "clear anti-Semitic connotations." An all-party group of lords led by the former archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, said her "irresponsible and inappropriate" comments "evoked a classic anti-Jewish conspiracy theory." In response Tonge said that professors Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer's article "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy" that appeared in the March 23, 2006 issue of The London Review of Books supported her assertion that the "'Israel lobby' had a disproportionate voice in Anglo-American foreign policy." She also emphasized that her comments "were about the Israeli lobby in politics. They were a big distance from being about Jewishness or anti-Semitism." [11][12]
During November 2008, Tonge, along with Lord Ahmed, Clare Short and some other European MPs, broke through the Blockade of Gaza by boat and visited Gaza.[13] The European parliamentarians' trip as it was called ran from 6-11 November 2008, and consisted of 12 MPs coming from Ireland, Italy, Switzerland and the UK. They were there at the invitation of the 'European Campaign to lift the Siege of Gaza'.[14]
On 12 January 2009 Tonge in the House of Lords Tonge asked about investigations into alleged Israeli war crimes in the Israel-Gaza conflict, saying:
"Is the Minister aware that Mrs Pillay, the new UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, has spoken of war crimes being committed in Gaza? Will the Government, therefore, show leadership and call for the immediate—and I mean immediate—establishment by the United Nations Security Council of an independent fact-finding commission to Palestine to investigate all breaches of international law?"[15]
On a January 2009 edition of Question Time shown on 15 January 2009 she debated the Gaza conflict with Stephen Pollard, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle.[16]
