Last week at the Conservative conference, queues stretched round the block ahead of the star-studded CFI evening event, attended by the Tory party chairman, Andrew Feldman, an array of cabinet ministers and plenty of influential donors. Philip Hammond, the Foreign Secretary, who is yet to find his voice at the FCO, was the principal speaker. As is normal at such events, he did not utter a word of criticism against Israel, even in the wake of Gaza. Expect a repeat performance from David Cameron when he speaks to the CFI business lunch in December. It should always be borne in mind that there is no such thing as the Conservative Friends of Palestinians.
