An unseemly row has broken out between Ed Miliband and David Cameron over the crisis in Gaza after the Labour leader claimed the prime minister's "silence" on events was "inexplicable".

Downing Street responded with a statement accusing Miliband of "playing politics" as the death toll of Palestinians exceeded 1,650 and Israel confirmed that it had lost 63 soldiers and three civilians, its highest death toll since the 2006 Lebanon war.

The row came after Nick Clegg issued a plea for the Israeli government to halt its military operations and talk to Hamas, warning that the assault on Gaza appeared to be a "disproportionate" response to rocket attacks from the territory.

In the Commons last month, Cameron did voice "grave concern" about the death toll in Gaza but had stressed that Israel had a right to defend itself and accused Hamas of triggering the crisis.

But in a statement on Saturday, which broke with the norm of presenting a united front on matters of foreign policy, Miliband said Cameron had so far failed to send out "clear and unequivocal message" to both sides in the conflict.

Good and don't forget Miliband is Jewish. Every decent human being is disgusted.
For the record Gordon Brown was the first British politician to condemn the slaughter in Gaza.
