A parliamentary inquiry committee at the British House of Commons has acquitted Baroness Jenny Tonge of anti-Semitism claims made previously by the Israeli embassy and some media outlets in the UK.
The Israeli embassy accused Tonge, a member of Britain’s House of Lords, of anti-Semitism following a symposium organized by the Palestinian Return Center (PRC) under her sponsorship on October 25, 2016 at the British House of Commons to announce the launch of the Balfour Apology Campaign.
In a report, the parliamentary inquiry committee announced the Israeli claims against Tonge were incorrect and affirmed that the event staged by the PRC was not anti-Semitic but rather a campaign to demand an apology for the Balfour Declaration.
The report listed a number of facts clearing the Baroness of violating the code of conduct followed at the House of Commons and refuted all Israeli allegations against other participants in the symposium.
