Many of you know my interest in Israel and in the Jewish community has been long-standing…My father was the chairman of the Church of Scotlands Israel Committee. Not only as Ive described to some of you before did he make visits on almost two occasions a year for 20 years to Israel — but because of that, although Fife, where I grew up, was a long way from Israel with no TV pictures to link us together — I had a very clear view from household slides and projectors about the history of Israel, about the trials and tribulations of the Jewish people, about the enormous suffering and loss during the Holocaust, as well as the extraordinary struggle that he described to me of people to create this magnificent homeland.- Gordon Brown in a speech given to the Labour Friends of Israel in April 2007, as quoted in the Israeli paper The Jerusalem Post, New British PM will likely be friend to Israel, June 27, 2007. Israel’s enemies are our enemies and this is a battle in which we all stand together or we will all fall divided. ---Liam Fox MP
