(They were part of a larger group).

I'm thinking, what on earth are they doing there, shouldn't they be representing us at home instead, and who is paying for this (hopefully Progressive International, not taxpayers)?

My opinion may be influenced by my dislike of Kate Nevens.

Green Party and SNP innit. I think the Greens have latched onto anything controversial in their desperation to get votes. They have always been a bit off the wall. Turning up to work is only for the Hoi Polloi don’tcha know? If the country can do without them, maybe they are redundant and should stop taking public money.

I think Israel shouldn't have a say over who visits Palestine but they are as we all know and the ICJ has decided violent illegal occupiers, so they are just acting as violent illegal occupiers do. It isn't surprising that a country whose terrorists are currently engaged in ethnic cleansing, as said by Ed Miliband, wouldn't want foreign MPs coming to watch them in action.

It isn't unual for MPs to take foreign trips. In the past 12 months 16 MPs have taken trips to Israel for instance what on earth were they doing there?

Why should Israel tell anyone if they can visit Palestine? Its like Russia telling us our politicians cannot visit Ukraine
