Is Ivan Lewis MP - who intervened with the Chinese authorities to seek clemency for a convicted heroin trafficker - the same Ivan Lewis MP who was a strong supporter of the Israeli military offensive in Gaza in which 1400 Palestinians were murdered including 400 children?

Apparently the Chinese execution made Lewis 'sick to the stomach' and he called on China to 'adhere to the basic standards of human rights'.

When will hypocrites like Lewis apply the same standards to the lives of Palestinians that they self righteously apply to the lives of British citizens?
