So many Israel-hating Jews. So many Jew-hating Jews. Weird.
Melanie Phillips reacts to an Open Letter from 36 jew-hating Jews signing a letter of appeasement and capitulation, on behalf of the British Jewish Board of Deputies. April 18 2025:
A letter has been published in the Financial Times (a paper that routinely peddles boilerplate nonsense about Israel and the Arabs) written by 36 members of the Board of Deputies, the main representative body of Britain’s Jewish community. They declare that their “Jewish values” and “love for Israel” compel them to speak out against the war in Gaza. “Israel’s soul is being ripped out,” they cry.
Where to start? Their ignorance? Their malice? Their arrogance?
They say they want Israel to stop the war. If it were to do so, the inescapable outcome would be Israel’s surrender to the proxy armies of genocidal Iran, the rearming and re-empowerment of Hamas, and more October 7-style massacres which Hamas states it intends to repeat until Israel is destroyed.
