Sir Jacob said: “It’s not compulsory to put your views out there on every subject but there are some notable celebrities and organisations who put their views out on everything who are resoundingly silent.”<\/p>\n
Lord Wolfson replied: “Well yes, I mean Gary Lineker for example if I can pick on him? He drew a lot of publicity when he compared the government’s immigration policy to 1930s Germany.<\/p>\n
“Well what happened to Israel on Saturday was 1940s Germany.<\/p>\n
“More Jews were killed deliberately on Saturday than on any day since the Holocaust.”<\/p>\n

Mr Lineker actually applauded a post by the Premier League saying it would have a minute’s silence for those who lost their lives in the conflict.<\/p>\n However, there has also been criticism of the Premier League for not showing solidarity with Israel specifically even after its government was forced to publish pictures of murdered babies and children who had been burnt alive to prove Hamas’s crimes.<\/p>\n There has also been anger over the FA’s refusal to light Wembley Arch in the colours of the Israeli flag as an act of solidarity as it did with Ukraine.<\/p>\n Parliament and Downing Street were lit in the Israeli flag colours earlier in the week and the government has flown the Israeli flag from its buildings.<\/p>\n Culture, Media and Sport Secretary Lucy Frazer has said she will take up the issue with the FA.<\/p>\n She said: “I am extremely disappointed by the FA\u2019s decision not to light up the Wembley Stadium arch following last weekend\u2019s horrific terrorist attacks in Israel, and have made my views clear to the FA.<\/p>\n “It is especially disappointing in light of the FA\u2019s bold stance on other terrorist attacks in the recent past. Words and actions matter. The Government is clear: we stand with Israel.”<\/p>\n
