Baroness Jenny Tonge has been sacked as the Liberal Democrat spokeswoman for health in Britain’s House of Lords for urging an inquiry into charges that Israeli forces in Haiti harvested organs.
Baroness Tonge told the Jewish Chronicle on Friday that there should be an inquiry into reports that Israeli forces harvested the organs of victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti.
“To prevent allegations such as these — which have already been posted on You Tube — going any further, the IDF and the Israeli Medical Association should establish an independent inquiry immediately to clear the names of the team in Haiti,” she said.
In response, Liberal Democrat Party Leader Nick Clegg sacked Tonge and dismissed her comments as unacceptable, provocative, and distasteful.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Clegg said, “Following discussions with the Leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords, Lord McNally, I have decided that Jenny Tonge will stand down as Liberal Democrat health spokesperson in the Lords following her unacceptable comments suggesting an inquiry into highly offensive allegations against the IDF humanitarian operation in Haiti.”
