Lichfield’s MP says his heart goes out to the victims of attacks in Israel.

The weekend attacks by Hamas had left hundreds dead and numerous taken hostage after a raid by gunmen.

Michael Fabricant said:

> “The surprise attack on Israel – a modern western democracy – will have upset many in the Lichfield constituency.   
>  
> “Whatever the rights or wrongs of Israel-Palestinian conflict, there is no excuse for the gunning down of innocent youngsters at a rave in the desert near Gaza or gunmen going door to door and shooting innocent civilians in towns and villages in the south of Israel.   
>  
> “The obscene scenes in Gaza with people spitting on the dead body of a partygoer or an elderly lady in her 80s being paraded in Gaza as a hostage will be sickening to right-minded people everywhere.   
>  
> “Meanwhile, it will be innocent civilians in Gaza who want nothing to do with Hamas or their Iranian paymasters who will inevitably suffer as Israel attempts to eradicate this terror organisation.  
>  
> “My heart goes out to all Israelis at this tragic time and I am pleased that our government and opposition are united in offering whatever support is needed by the authorities in Israel.   
>  
> We should all be proud to say ‘I stand by Israel’.”
