Time to cut ties with the Friends of Israel
FORMER Tory Minister Alan Duncan has done democracy a service by calling out the nefarious influence of Israel’s friends in high places.
He has spotlighted the role of Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI) in trying to distort British politics in the interests of a foreign power.
This is not a conspiracy theory. CFI, like its Labour counterpart, operates in plain sight and is brazen about its intentions. Nor is it tied to Jewish identity — most Tory MPs of all backgrounds are members.
