BAGHDAD — The vice president of the European Jewish Congress, Edwin Shuker, posted a video on his Facebook page Oct. 2 in which he addressed the Iraqi people on the occasion of the Jewish New Year.

In the video, Shuker said, “I find myself today with millions of Iraqis in London where I have lived for over 45 years. Although we were forced to leave Iraq, our homeland has not left our hearts for one second.”
