Well quite. He's hardly influential so can take a morally sound position without realpolitik jeopardy, no?
I doubt losing your vote will dent the impending Labour landslide.

This appears to be an even-handed account of the history of the two-state solution.

...For Israel and Palestine, the optimism present in 1993 was to dissipate with rising violence. Within three years we saw the assassination of Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin by a Jewish terrorist, the massacre of Muslims while praying in Hebron by an Israeli settler and Hamas suicide terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians in February and March 1996.

I get it. He can renege to the British public on commitments without number, but daren't risk having to defend mercy to the Israeli government at some unspecified future date. Who is he hoping to represent?
The man's a disgrace.
