Unlike Mr Sarfraz, I can't see that Mr Lewis has offered any fulsome apologies for his
offending social media posts. I think he may still feel that they were fully justified.
I don't know if Mr Sarfraz has ever argued that his own posts were reasonable - I
would guess that he was given emphatic advice that in the absence of a very grovelling
apology his legal career would be at an end forever.

It would appear that Mr Lewis has now assumed the mantle of the new J.K.Rowling. Basically nothing he can do or say, can absolve him
in your view.
In the absence of any desire to trawl through reams of social media rubbish so as to provide context, I feel it safe to assume that the situation in Gaza over the past two years, has provided ample ammunition for ant-semitic trolls. Leaving Lewis little option, but to double down, in Israel's defence.
However using the situation in Gaza, and the plight of the Palestinians as fuel
to attack Lewis on the basis of social media posts, or further any other argument for that matter, is in my views at least, cheap. To say the very least
Don't talk bollocks.
The dignified thing to do as a solicitor is to remain calm and
restrained

Quite so, no irony intended.
You may have failed to understand "as a solicitor" and "using his own
name". If he posts in his own name and is clearly identifiable as a solicitor, he brings himself and his profession into disrepute.
I think every other reader would have understood that point.
He hasn't shown any compassion towards the Palestinians either before or after 7th
October. Anyone who ignores the genocide of the Palestinians in the belief that they
must cheer for Israel, is a contemptible human being. Cheap, you say? Believe me, you
definitely can't afford him.

I wasn't really expecting my little joke to be taken quite so seriously.
But, since you've done so, let me answer seriously.
Everybody on this newsgroup knows that you are/were a solicitor. So you
have claimed, and I believe you. If you don't "remain calm and
restrained" that reflects badly on your profession.
You have said recently how clever you are to use a pseudonym, but that's
not reducing the harm to your profession.
I think every other reader would have understood that point.

For anymore with eyes in their heads Israel has been a tragedy waiting to happen even since the first Arab Israeli War in 1948 when all the cosy illusions came crashing to the ground. In the opinion of some
people at least that there is simply not going to be any happy
ending to this.
While people who believe themselves to be in a struggle for their very existence - the Middle East is a big place while Israel is relatively small maybe can't afford the luxury of occupying the moral high ground in the
eyes of the rest of the world.
While as to your hero Corbyn whom Lewis dissed.
Had Corbyn and McDonnel ever got into Downing Street the impact on the foreign exchanges would have made Black Wednesday and Truss Gate
look like a picnic,
With Right Wing Labour patsies "installed" in their place, you would
still be wheeling your money around in a pram*

I won't mention J.K.Rowling; as I realise how much any mention of the
hugely successful billionaire author, clearly upsets you.

It is actually the Palestinians who struggle for their very existence.
Israel might be "small" in the same sense that England is territorially
small, but England once controlled a huge empire and Israel is a nuclear power with the
most modern and well equipped army in the world, second only to the USA which has
always backed Israel to the hilt.
So let's not fall back on the myth that poor Israel is struggling to survive against
numerous nations who want to exterminate all Israelis and possibly all Jews.

Nah.
If Corbyn had become PM, he would have done his usual thing of making consensus
decisions rather than giving orders which must be obeyed.

If you use intemperate language, as you sometimes do, it may bring your profession into disrepute. By using a pseudonym, you may escape
punishment, though.
Even if it falls short of harming your profession, you are not remaining dignified, which, at least in others, you seem to think is a good thing.
