A European Jewish group urged the British parliament to tackle terror emanating from the Middle East, ahead of a possible vote on Wednesday on whether to bomb terror group Islamic State in Syria as well as Iraq. .

A delegation of execurive members of the European Jewish Congress (EJC) met John Bercow, the Speaker of the House of Commons, and several other MPs, two weeks after the attacks in Paris claimed by IS.

“The UK as a nation that has always been a leader in the fight against tyranny should once again be a strong part of a coalition that is necessary to fight and defeat Islamic State and its proxies,” said EJC President Moshe Kantor.

He added, “Islamic State and other groups have already attempted to acquire chemical and biological weapons and are even talking about nuclear capabilities in the next year so it is vital that they be stopped now because we have seen that their thirst for mass casualties knows no bounds.”

Labour Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn is not convinced that Britih Prime Minister David Cameron has “made a case for war” and has sought the views of Labour’s hundreds of thousands of members. Most are opposed to extending airstrikes.

According to the Jewish News,the British government has long sought to extend the Air Force’s bombing into Syria, but lost a rushed parliamentary vote in August 2013.

After the attacks in Paris, however, MPs are more amenable to involvement alongside Russian, American and French jets.
