Misquoted statement
editI have removed this sentence:
He asserted no Palestinian would kill a child, but his statement came shortly after the stabbing to death of 13-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel by a Palestinian terrorist.[1]
This is a misquote. This is the characterization of Ward's (quite different) statement by a opposing politician. Here is the quote from TheJC article, in its entirety:
Cllr Cooke had proposed a motion calling on the council to consider its “awareness and response to antisemitism and islamophobia”, according to the Bradford Telegraph and Argus. Cllr Cooke, whose wife is Jewish, called out Cllr Ward by name when talking about explaining antisemitism. He strongly criticised the use of the word ‘Zio’ and said that people should be alarmed at any discussion of the Jews being ejected from Israel.
Cllr Cooke’s wife is Jewish, and he went on to say that his son had recently asked him regarding the Holocaust, “they would have killed me and Mum, wouldn’t they?”
Cllr Ward replied saying ‘one thing is absolutely damn certain, he would not have been killed by a Palestinian. Palestinians have children, many of whom have been slaughtered by the State of Israel”
He went on to say that criticising Israel was not anti-Semitic and that it was “completely wrong to use the Holocaust” to deflect criticism of Israel’s actions.”
Mr Ward’s reply received an angry response on social media, with Sussex Friends of Israel suggesting that Mr Ward might want to repeat his “a Palestinian would not kill a child” comments to the parents of the 13 year old Hallel Yaffa Ariel, who was murdered in her bed by a Palestinian two weeks ago.
Ward's statement was about a totally different issue, about Jewish children killed in the Holocaust. There is no blanket statement as silly as "a Palestinian would not kill a child". Kingsindian ♝ ♚ 15:05, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

- Source removed, however, on the grounds of lack of proven notability of the events concerned. While writings by Ward are admissible, as the subject of this article, the deleted material only seemed to promote this individual. Philip Cross (talk) 08:31, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
