Not only does it place Iraq’s Jews, Christians and others in great danger, but it also extends to Iraqis living here in the UK as well as British nationals visiting Iraq. We therefore call upon the UK Foreign Office to take urgent action by using its diplomatic leverage to prevent Iraq implementing such extreme measures.” Click here to read Iraq to ‘execute’ citizens who contact Israelis or support Zionism ‘Israel’s security is our security’, Sajid Javid tells Israel celebration event in London Sajid Javid, has told an audience that the “UK-Israel partnership” is unbreakable and that “Israel’s security is our security.” The UK’s health secretary was speaking at a London celebration this week for Israel’s Independence Day, attended by CUFI and other friends of the Jewish state.  Click here to read Israeli-owned London restaurant targeted with ‘Free Palestine’ graffiti A London restaurant owned by an Israeli has been targeted by Israel haters in a shameful attack targetting a Jewish establishment.
