UK – Jewish Labour Leader, Ed Miliband Hits PM Cameron Over ‘Gaza Silence’
Labour leader Ed Miliband, who’s Jewish, on Saturday accused Prime Minister David Cameron of “inexplicable silence” regarding Israel’s incursion into the Strip.
“The prime minister is wrong not to have opposed Israel’s incursion into Gaza. And his silence on the killing of hundreds of innocent Palestinian civilians caused by Israel’s military action will be inexplicable to people,” he said in a strongly worded statement. “I am a supporter of Israel and I believe in Israel’s right to self-defense. But its military actions in the past two weeks have been wrong and unjustifiable.”
Miliband, who has expressed his desire to become Britain’s first Jewish prime minister, lambasted Cameron for failing to send out “clear and unequivocal message” to both sides in the conflict.

Benjamin Disraeli ... (21 December 1804 – 19 April 1881) was a British Conservative politician, writer and aristocrat who twice served as Prime Minister. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party, defining its policies and its broad outreach. Disraeli is remembered for his influential voice in world affairs, his political battles with the Liberal leader William Ewart Gladstone, and his one-nation conservatism or "Tory democracy". He made the Conservatives the party most identified with the glory and power of the British Empire. He is as of 2014 the only British Prime Minister of Jewish birth.

Good for Milibrand.
But I think he might have been pipped to the post by twice-serving Disraeli. LOL
