The Knesset Comes to Westminster http://uruknet.info/?p=m67298&hd=&size=1&l=e

Eighty per cent of Conservative MPs are claimed to be signed-up Friends of Israel. Now, for your entertainment, let's see how their website reports a recent House of Commons debate on Middle East Policy

CFI's Parliamentary Chairman and Chairman of the Defence Select Committee, Rt Hon James Arbuthnot MP presented an authoritative account of Israel's predicament and began by praising Israel for embodying many of the values that exist with Britain.

"Everyone in this House should have an interest in Israel, because it is a country that embodies the values that we should stand for. Israel [has] become a bastion of the rule of law, democracy, free speech, business enterprise and family values. If that is not what this country also stands for, I am disappointed".'
