(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Marcus Dysch - Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, told the World Jewish Congress, "Someone said we should apologize for the [Balfour] Declaration, to say it was an error of judgment. Of course that's not going to happen....Here in Britain we will not merely mark the centenary, we will celebrate it with pride." "I'll be 100% clear. I do not support calls for a boycott, my party does not support calls for a boycott. For all its bluster, the BDS campaign is most notable, I think, for its lack of success. Trade is booming, tourism is soaring. The media campaign is full of sound and fury, but to the majority of Britain today it signifies nothing." "Let's be honest, we are talking about anti-Semites, however many times they claim they are opposed to Zionism."
