Has this man no shame?

Gerald Kaufman plays party politics with Israel. Not British politics, however:

Mr Kaufman, MP for Manchester Gorton, accused former Labour prime minister Shimon Peres, now Israel's foreign minister, of "humiliating" himself by being involved in Sharon's government.

So is Kaufman criticising Israel or is he merely bashing Likud and the Labourites in coalition with it?
