'Why did you have to kill?' Ex-Tory leader blasts Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to his face over Gaza protesters
Lord Michael Howard demanded to know why Israeli forces had to kill Palestinian protesters

A former Tory leader blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to his face - demanding to know “why did you have to kill” protesters in Gaza to stop them scaling a border fence.

Lord Michael Howard, who is himself Jewish, told Mr Netanyahu many people agree with Israel’s right to stop protesters entering Israel.

But in extraordinary scenes at a public meeting, he asked him: “Why couldn’t you use rubber bullets, why couldn’t you - if in extremis you had to use live ammunition why couldn’t you shoot them in the legs? Why did you have to kill them to stop them scaling the fence?”

Because they would continue climbing the fence.

And how do you know which ones have bombs strapped around their bodies? If they get over the fence it is too late.

The choice of climbing the fence and the consequences that follow belong entirely to those doing it.

It's from a great Monty Python skit -- the "Upperclass Twit of the Year" contest.
