Okay, the countdown begins: How long till Nick Clegg is reassigned to a new position? Excerpt: Nick Clegg has come close to accusing Israel of breaching international law after he accused it of a deliberately disproportionate response to Hamas rocket attacks from Gaza amid a humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory. In a marked contrast with David Cameron, who has moderated his criticism of Israel, the deputy prime minister accused Israel of imposing a disproportionate form of collective punishment on citizens in Gaza..... But speaking on his weekly LBC phone-in, he said that Israel had gone too far. Apparently referring to language used by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to define breaches of international law - and even war crimes - Clegg said: I have to say though I really do think now the Israeli response appears to be deliberately disproportionate. It is amounting now to a disproportionate form of collective punishment. It is leading to a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which is just unacceptable.
