Western politicians are usually measured in their words when it comes to the Israel-Hamas conflict, but British Liberal Democrat David Ward tweeted today that if he lived in Gaza, he’d probably fire a rocket into Israel.
The big question is – if I lived in #Gaza would I fire a rocket? – probably yes

Certainly sounds like it.
I can't believe this guy is an MP!! "@DavidWardMP: The big question is – if I lived in #Gaza would I fire a rocket? – probably yes"

@DavidWardMP even majority of innocent Gazan's don't support firing rockets. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and go?

@ed_schwab @DavidWardMP It's irresponsible to have these incompetent racist animals here. David why don't you go to Gaza big hero.

@DavidWardMP you have a history for inciting violence trying to pander to your constituents, taking spinelessness to new levels. Pathetic.

@LouiseMensch @wesstreeting @DavidWardMP Would you aim it at civilians or off duty soldiers?

@DavidWardMP you are an arsonist. Why don't you go and live in Gaza and fire rocket to your hearts content? @LouiseMensch

@AdamSydneyTyler @DavidWardMP He's an embarrassment to his party, his constituents and himself. Can not believe an MP supporting rocket fire

@wmont101 You obviously don't know about @DavidWardMP's track record. Go on, Google it. It's 7-year-old research.
