BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS TO WORK THE OVENS?:

British Jews break away from 'pro-Israeli' Board of Deputies (Martin Hodgson, 05 February 2007, Independent)

A new organisation to represent British Jews is to be launched today in response to a perceived pro-Israeli bias in existing Jewish bodies in the UK.

The founders of Independent Jewish Voices, IJV, which will include such luminaries as the Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter and the historian Eric Hobsbawm, say that the group is being established as a counter-balance to the uncritical support for Israeli policies offered by established bodies such as the Board of Deputies of British Jews.

Luminaries? "Historian" Eric Hobsbawm? I thought he was just a Stalinist mouthpiece, still clinging to the dream.

If you're living in a parallel universe, you might as well make it official.... (Letterhead, press releases, officially sanctioned tantrums instead of just private, personal ones.)

Besides, imagine what fun it will be pissing off the mainstream British Jewish Community!! (while you mutter your truth to power bid).

Well it could be worse. They could be makiong lame excuses for a terrorists promoting Iranian regime whose every leading member of the ruling cliques has called for the nuclear destuction of Israel.

Anti-Zionist Jews are a threat to Israel. Iran isn't.
