excerpts from: The Annual Balfour Lecture
by Eylon Aslan-Levy, Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland, 2 November 2010
Quote: | Lord Mandelson, veteran politician and former UK First Secretary of State, warned the 170 Zionist Federation guests at the annual Balfour Declaration reception (held at the British Foreign Office, where the original declaration was actually signed), that the delegitimisation of Israel is becoming more mainstream in British discourse. He argued that this "insidious" threat could only be countered by Israel remaining a "staunch advocate for peace"
This was the 93rd Anniversary of the Balfour Declaration which was given to the Zionist Federation in 1917. [...]
Asked whether the Labour Party would continue to be a friend of Israel, Lord Mandelson added that he was confident “support [of Israel] is intact,” he said, “but it is becoming less fashionable to express it.” |
