Thought I'd share this post from another board I visit . The fellas a British Jew and it's regards the actions of the UK s chief rabbi who he tends to follow a little more than the average Brit........
____________________________________________
The new Chief Rabbi isn,'t a spiritual appointment nor is he a thinker,he's very much a political and pr appointment. By speaking out like he has, he has put Jews in the UK in the spotlight, for all the wrong reasons. Not all jews support the conservatives, historically in the UK they have felt at home with Labour. People are fickle and a lot of far right/neo nazis target Jews. The English elite have been anti semitic historically.
A problem over the past few years have been a few people on the left have made anti semitic attacks, which have been proven. As leader of the party Corbyn did not react with speed and determination, possibly because he's not someone who likes confrontation and he's not someone who used to running a organisation.
However, i believe that today has been a coordinated planned attack to coincide with the Neil interview. Sadly the Archbishop of Canterbury has broken his silence of many many years. Not to criticise the years of austerity, poverty, poor public services, government lies and incompetence, brexit,food banks, terrorism, increasing racist attacks. Nothing absolutely nothing, no christian leadership, nothing. Then today he speaks to attack Corbyn. I think they have been promised a softening of regulations around faith schools and probably a bit of cash. 20 pieces of silver,to be dishonourable.
What s sad state of affairs in the UK, where the leaders of 2 religions, have not shown spiritual leadership but have sought to spread division and hatred.
A month ago the conservatives said that half of UK jews would leave the country if Labour won. Where would they go? The UK along with Spain is the safest place in europe for jews. The rest of Europe continually has anti semitic attacks,including murders, France is a very dangerous place for Jews. Would they go to Israel or US? I don't think so.
Most jews don't like attention being drawn to them,history proves that,these are dangerous times. This article by the Rabbi was written 2 weeks ago,why publish it today? Is it because 2 weeks of "Get Brexit done" is starting to lower the Tories lead over the weekend? Now it's back to personal attacks,politics is a dirty business. The current state of the UK depresses me.
Have faith and hope everyone and keep love in your hearts.
