Brits turn their

backs on biased
Israel boycotts
Survey reveals more than half now oppose
singling out the country for sanctions
A dramatic rise in opposition
to boycotts of Israel among the
British public is revealed in a
new survey published today.
A Populus opinion poll, commissioned by Israel and Middle East
think tank BICOM, shows more
than half of the 2,050 respondents
are against singling out Israel
with boycotts.
The numbers show that
51 percent of respondents
do not boycott Israeli
goods, an eight percent
rise when compared to figures from a similar poll in
October 2015.
Similarly, 56 percent
thought that Israel boycotts hurt both Palestinians and Israelis nine
percent more than 2015.
Our poll shows a very
significant shift against
the idea of boycotting
Israel, said BICOM chief
executive James Sorene.
The British sense of fair play is
a clear theme in the poll as time and

again respondents reject singling
out Israel, given everything else
going on in the world.
Of those surveyed, 48 percent felt
that hating Israel and questioning
its right to exist was anti-Semitic,
with 45 percent of Muslim respondents agreeing with that statement,
while only 20 percent thought
otherwise.
Elsewhere, some 57 percent said

simply criticising Israel was not in
itself anti-Semitic.
Interestingly, in the week of the
99th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, 43 percent also said they
agreed with Britains then-foreign
secretary Lord Balfour, who wrote
in support of a Jewish homeland in
historic Palestine in 1917. This figure
was up from 40 percent last year.
In addition, 57 percent of respondents felt that Israel
was Britains ally, the
highest percentage for
any Middle Eastern
country. Again, this
figure was higher than
in 2015, with a five percent increase.
The judgement
of the British people
is stark, said Sorene.
They
understand
that hating Israel
and questioning its
right to exist is pure
anti-Semitism.
Members of the Goldsmiths University rugby team, who are excited

to display support for Israel boycotts on their new team shirts
But nobody told

these scrumbags
A rugby team at a top
London university has
unveiled a new kit featuring a Palestinian
flag in a show of support for the boycott
Israel movement.
A group picture was
posted on the Goldsmiths
University teams Facebook
page showing the flag on the shirt
sleeves. The post said: Were excited
to reveal our new kit which features
the Palestinian flag on the as part
of our SUs continued commitment
to supporting BDS. Were hoping
through our work with Goldsmiths
Palestine Society we can encourage
more societies and clubs to endorse
and raise awareness about BDS.
A Union of Jewish Students
spokesperson told Jewish

News: The Goldsmiths
Israel Society have
been promoting a
scheme called Bridges
Not Boycotts, but
Goldsmiths
RFC
seems to only be interested in creating further
divisions.
A spokesperson for Goldsmiths
said: The team is independent to the
university. This decision was taken
by Goldsmiths RFC. Sport should
be unifying and should be played
without borders and by all. No one
should feel alienated or excluded. It is
disappointing that the club has taken
this decision. We are working across
campus to ensure all groups feel safe
and supported at Goldsmiths.

News / Anti-extremist boss apology
Muslim anti-extremist chief

sorry for Sandy Hook post
By Justin Cohen
justinc@thejngroup.com
@JewishNewsUK
A co-founder of a government-supported womens network

praised by Theresa May for tackling extremism has profusely apologised after it was revealed she and a colleague in
the organisation had posted conspiracy theories about Israel
on social media.
Odara, based in the West Midlands, runs workshops on
personal and educational development and provides a safe
environment for discussion on issues like domestic violence,
mental health and extremism, according to a press release
produced following a visit last summer by May, then Home Secretary. She praised the organisation at the time for working to
stand up against the extremists who seek to divide us.
But Jewish News has learnt of social media entries promoting conspiracy theories about Israel, including by cofounder Aysha Iqbal, who posted a link on Facebook in 2013

to a video in which it is claimed Israel was responsible for one

of Americas worst mass shootings at Sandy Hook primary
school in America. Above the link she wrote: Check this out!!
Truth be told! @: The video shows a US news show in which
the interviewee claims the fatal attack was revenge for Israels failure to thwart the recognition of Palestine at the UN and
that a cover-up would ensue because politicians are bought by
the Israel lobby. He says it is Zionist controlled Hollywood, a
Zionist controlled news media that is the conduit of all this violence. It brings this imagery into every home in America.
But Iqbal has now issued a full apology after the material was
highlighted by Jewish News. The post was meant to be tongue
in cheek, poking fun at the conspiracy theory nature of it as
there was a lot of it around at the time, she said. Looking back,
and given the work we now do challenging such conspiracies, I
can see how offensive it appears without the context. I sincerely
apologise for my extreme naivety and the fact I had not picked
up on this and removed it once we engaged in work challenging
such views. Many people will be rightfully appalled.
Describing the video as shocking and a huge distortion of
the reality of the terrorism we face, she added: Such irresponsible posts and theories help add to the grievance culture that
exists which, in turn, fuels extremism and is precisely what I
and Odara work to challenge.
Tasmiyah Bint Naeem, described on her own Facebook page
as Odaras outreach and engagement officer, shared a post late
last year that included a number of links including one entitled
Israel did 9/11 all the proof in the world. She also shared an
image purporting to show a young boy outside a police station
in search of his mother who is alleged to have been detained by
Israel, adding the words: May Allah distory (sic) Zionists.
In response, Iqbal said the volunteer feels very upset with
herself for not having removed the posts earlier and regrets
having posted them in the first place. She described her as an
example of someone we have engaged with since our work to
challenge extremism and hate crime of all forms. The volunteer in her youthful activism fell for such conspiracies and is an
example of the impact such posts have on the vulnerable.
Iqbal insisted the volunteer began engaging with Odara
only this year, since when she has reflected on her views... She
immediately recognised the inappropriateness of the tweets
and has begun removing all similar past content.
Odara is backed by the Building a Stronger Britain Together
scheme, launched by the government this year to help projects countering extremism to expand their reach. Its website
expresses gratitude for capacity building support in social
media training and campaigns. Iqbal said: Not everyone immediately goes back to recheck previous posts that may be inappropriate and misleading. It is something we will correct and
ensure forms part of our work to challenge such views.
Organisations supported by government are expected to
share values including respect for different faiths and to carry
out due diligence. Jewish News understands the Home Office
is looking into the matter. A spokesperson said: We support Odara and other civil society groups that seek to counter
extremism. Odara has received in-kind support and funding
for an outreach project in Birmingham which aims to develop
womens resilience to radicalisation.

Campus intimidation / News
MPs: Wipe out this scourge
by Stephen Oryszczuk
stepheno@thejngroup.com
@JewishNewsUK
Universities Minister Jo Johnson

and former Secretary of State for
Communities Sir Eric Pickles have
roundly condemned an anti-Israel
protest that disrupted a University
College London (UCL) event with
Jewish students last week as simply
unacceptable in 2016.
Conservative Friends of Israel
chairman Pickles said in a statement:
There is a deep-rooted problem in our
universities that must be wiped out.
It follows a fracas outside a
Friends of Israel society event at UCL
last Thursday night, organised by
media watchdog CAMERA, at which
former IDF soldier Hen Mazzig was
due to speak. Mazzig now works for
grassroots group StandWithUs.

The universitys Friends of
Palestine Society president Yahya
Abu Seido was this week referred
to police by the Campaign Against
Anti-Semitism (CAA), which said
the protest resulted in three female
students being assaulted.
Student Tamara Berens said:
From the outset, the protest was
consumed with screams full of blind
hate, which quickly blurred into
physical aggression and violence We
ran from room to room, made to feel
like fugitives.
A CAA statement read: At one
point, protesters jumped through
a window to confront a terrified
audience of predominantly Jewish
students.
Johnson said it was a troubling
incident, adding: Universities have
a clear responsibility under the 2010

Equality Act to ensure they protect
their staff and students and act
swiftly to investigate and address hate
crime, including anti-Semitic related
incidents reported to them.
While
acknowledging
the
importance of free speech and debate,
he said: There is no place for students
that use intimidation or violence to
attempt to shut down the free and
open exchange of ideas even ones
they disagree with.
Pickles said the UCL protest was
shocking, adding: The growing
problem of anti-Semitism on
university campuses is a serious
challenge
facing
the
Jewish
community and the UK as a whole.

London, in January, throwing chairs
PRC makes legal threat

The Palestinian Return Centre
(PRC) has said it will sue for
wrongful reporting following
its launch event of the Balfour
Apology Campaign at the House
of Lords last week, hosted by
Baroness Tonge.
The event was reported to
have featured an anti-Semitic
speaker who likened Israel to
Islamic State and blamed Jews
for the Holocaust, but the PRC
said it was not made clear the
speaker was a Jewish audience
member from anti-Zionist group

Neturei Karta.
In a three-page statement,
the PRC said it demands that
those media publications correct the erroneous facts presented and provide an accurate
account of the events, adding:
We also intend to seek legal
action for the false accusations
and defamatory allegations
directed against the centre.
It criticised lazy and poor
journalism from news outlets
including The Guardian, The

Times, The Daily Mail, The Daily
Express and The Daily Telegraph,
as well as Sky News.
Tonge, who was later suspended and then resigned from
the Liberal Democrats, did not
respond to or refute the points
raised by the audience member.
A PRC spokesman said:
We completely disagree with
the audience members comments and do not tolerate
anti-Semitism.
ANTI-SEMITISM COMPENSATION
Sheffield Hallam University has been told to pay
a disabled Jewish student thousands of pounds
in compensation for not properly considering his
complaint about offensive social media posts from
the Universitys Palestine Society.
The recent graduate, who has not been named,
was told that his complaints were unfounded when
he first raised concerns of anti-Semitism with the
Students Union.
However, the Office of the Independent Adjudicator has ruled that the university failed to properly turn its mind to the question of whether [he]
had experienced harassment as a result of certain
aspects of PalSocs social media activity.
Britains fourth largest university was told to pay

the student 3,000, comprising 2,500 for the main
complaint plus 250 for a nine-month delay and
250 for the manner in which the University questioned [the students] ownership of the complaint.
The complaint was made after the student saw
posts by the PalSoc highlighting Israels actions in
Gaza and the West Bank, which he deemed offensive. However, the OIA said: We have not reached
a finding that aspects of PalSocs social media were
anti-Semitic or that Mr Parker was racially or religiously harassed. It added: It is not for the OIA
to determine the issues in the debate about where
criticism of Israel crosses into anti-Semitism.
Top: Friends of Palestine disrupt the event. Above: Pro-Israel UCL students
and setting off fire alarms to derail

a talk by the former head of Israels
secret service.
Pickles said: As a result of the
current climate and increasing reports
of anti-Semitism on campuses, both
Israeli students and Anglo-Jewish
students are wary of pursuing higher
education in the UK. This should be a
concern to us all.
Universities UK, which has

recently investigated anti-Semitism
on campus, said it will prioritise the
topic. A statement from UCL said: We
have received allegations of violence
and intimidation which, if confirmed,
we condemn in the strongest possible
terms. It had earlier said: We regret
protesters took measures to try to
prevent the event from happening.
The UCL protest resembled

a scene from a horror movie
HEN MAZZIG
FORMER IDF SOLDIER
At 7.30pm last Thursday, I was inside the classroom together with about 25 people, mostly
Jewish students. Four students suddenly broke
into the room, jumping through a window.
The noise from outside was incessant: Intifada, intifada! I was almost killed when I was
12, during the Second Intifada and traumatic
memories flood back. Where is Hen? Where is
Hen? War criminal! Murderer! Shame!
Although it sounds like a scene from a horror
movie, this was just a simple event arranged by
Jewish students with CAMERA a group on
campus committed to combating libels about
the Jewish state at university campuses across
the world. England was my last stop on an international speaking tour and while my events
in north America were a huge success, I knew
London would be different.
Finally, at 7.45pm, I began my talk. The activists were furious and chanted even louder.
Intifada, Intifada, Intifada! Rap music was
being played on a booming sound system. The
police were outside, haplessly impotent. They
were simply watching on the sidelines.
I was determined to continue, to not let them
stop me from speaking. I told my story: about my
Mizrahi heritage; how my family was expelled
from the Middle East; my humanitarian work

in COGAT; surviving a suicide bomb as a child.
I struggled to speak above the noise of the protesters but more than ever, of the thousands
of talks Ive given across the world, I poured out
my soul.
I finished my talk and reassured the crowd I
would be glad to return. I will not be silenced- and
they should not be silenced. We won tonight, I
assured them. I asked everyone to stand tall. We
all stood up and started singing Hatikvah.
I was soon rushed out of the campus, in a
police coat by the police. They kept telling me:
Dont look back, keep running. It was as if
I were escaping a war zone.
That night has strengthened my resolve more
than ever. The hateful mob reaffirmed my conviction that anti-Semitism remains alive in
Europe, North America and beyond. In 21st century Britain, Jews leaving a room to screams of
Shame! Shame! Shame! is utterly horrifying.
I couldnt sleep all night. I kept on thinking: how
do we fight such hate speech? We fight bigotry
and fanaticism by standing tall but never being
afraid. They must see that we are unbreakable.

in the Coordination of Government
Activities in the Terrorities. He shares
his story with campuses and Jewish
communities around the world.

more than 250,000 for the charitys

Vicar flouts promise

Anti-Israel priest Dr Stephen
Sizer has been told he may be
removed from his parish post
before his planned leaving date
next year, after he breached his
employment terms by attending
an event with Baroness Jenny
Tonge last week.
Bishop of Guildford Andrew
Watson said he was disappointed at Sizers appearance
at the controversial House of
Lords event and subsequent
social media commentary, adding
that the vicar was now walking a
tightrope.
Both actions breached the
terms of an agreement between
Sizer and the Diocese of Guildford, under which he prom-

ised to refrain from writing or

speaking on themes relating to
the Middle East.
Sizer said he did not believe

the terms of the agreement still
applied, since he had already
given notice of his resignation
as vicar of Virginia Water from
Easter 2017.
However,
following
their
meeting this week, the bishop
said: I have spoken with Dr
Sizer to make clear that I am
disappointed by his actions
and to clarify that our agreement
categorically must run until the
end of his tenure of office.
Bishop Watson added: Dr
Sizer has been warned that any
further breach of the agreement must result in his tenure of
office ending with immediate
effect.

Barrister disbarred / Tonge quits / News
Anti-Semitic barrister is
disbarred for hate tweets
UK Lawyers for Israel has
described the unprecedented
disbarring of a barrister for
anti-Semitic and racist comments on social media as a
significant victory and
warned that further cases may
be in the pipeline.
Barrister Ian Millard (pictured), who tweets under his
own name, was thrown out of
the profession last week after
an independent disciplinary
tribunal found he had made
seriously offensive comments. They include Nazi
propaganda images, attacks
on Jews, Muslims and ethnic
minorities and repeated
racist tweets.
Sara Jagger, the Bar Standards Boards director of professional conduct, said: The use
of such offensive language is
incompatible with the standards expected of barristers.

New eruv plans for ShabbatUK

Large swathes of north London will fall within
two new Jewish religious boundaries or
eruvim under proposals being launched in
time for ShabbatUK.
One will stretch from Barnet in the north to
Finchley Central in the south, incorporating
Totteridge, Oakleigh Park, Whetstone, West
Finchley, the new Millbrook estate and
Woodside Park.
It will link up with existing eruvim, in Mill
Hill and north west London, and with the other
eruv proposed, in Barnet.
The two shuls involved Woodside Park and
Barnet are hoping to host pre-launch events
on 31 October and 1 November respectively,
with support from leading members of the

London Beth Din.
Rabbi Barry Lerer of Barnet United said:
We have been working very hard on the
eruv, which will have a huge impact on our
community, for a number of years. After all our
hard work, it is great to know that we will be
able to launch on ShabbatUK.
Woodside Park Synagogue vice-chair Naomi
Cohen said: The creation of the eruv has been
a dream to enable the community to push
wheelchairs and buggies and carry Shabbat
essentials. It is extremely rewarding and
gratifying that after more than 10 years, we will
be able to launch the eruv on ShabbatUK.
Tonge quits Lib Dems

following suspension
Controversial peer Baroness
Tonge has quit the Liberal
Democrats following the partys decision to suspend her.
Her departure came
after calls for Britain to
apologise to Israel and the
Jewish people following
outrageous comments at
an event hosted in Parliament by Tonge. One audience member compared
Israel to Islamic State while
Jews were blamed for the
Holocaust. Cabinet minister David Lidington told
MPs he was genuinely
horrified by reports of the
remarks. Tonge, who sits as
an independent in the Lords,
chaired the meeting.
Gavin Stollar from Liberal Democrat Friends of
Israel said: Baroness Tonge
has reaped what she has
sown. She is an anti-Israel
zealot who can now espouse
her offensive views outside
our party.
Simon Johnson, chief
executive of the Jewish
Leadership Council, said:
Resignation: Tonge
Baroness Tonges antiIsrael hatred is there for all

to see and I trust that the
Liberal Democrats will continue to take steps to counter
anti-Israel hatred within
their party.
Jonathan Arkush, president of the Board of Deputies, called the suspension
the right decision. He said:
She is a repeat offender,
propagating the worst antiSemitic tropes over and over
again. The Israeli embassy
in the UK simply said: AntiSemitism should never be
tolerated.

Balfour 100 plans revealed

Plans to commemorate the centenary
of the Balfour Declaration have been
unveiled one year before the historic landmark anniversary as a new poll revealed
twice as many Britons back the 1917 move
as oppose it, writes Justin Cohen.
Politicians, diplomats, university students
and schoolchildren will have an opportunity to
mark the issuing of a letter by then foreign secretary Arthur Balfour pledging support for the
establishment of a home for the Jewish people
in Palestine described as 67 words that led to
the creation of Israel.
Simon Schama will deliver the annual
Balfour Lecture on the eve of the centenary (1
November) next year, while synagogue movements across the religious spectrum will take
part in a national Balfour Shabbat the following
weekend. A Balfour 100 steering committee
which comprises 23 communal and Israel
organisations, including the Board of Deputies,
Jewish Leadership Council, Zionist Federation
and all the shul movements are also planning
a series of events for the day itself.
As a community, we are proud of the fact it
was the British government that took the first
step to recognise Zionist aspirations of any
kind, said JLC chief executive Simon Johnson.
The current government supports Israel
as a Jewish and democratic state and supports
its right to defend itself. This is an opportu-
nity to express pride and commemorate what

was a really important step on the way to the
creation of Israel. We hope when there are diplomatic and political events, people will accept
this is an important part, not just of Jewish history, but of this countrys history.
The Declaration passed by Lord Balfour to
ZF chief Lord Rothschild on 2 November 1917
said the government would do all in its power
to pursue a home for the Jewish people while
it being understood that nothing shall be done
which may prejudice the rights of existing nonJewish communities in Palestine or the rights
enjoyed by Jews in other countries.
The Balfour Committee is chaired by
Lord Jonathan Kestenbaum on behalf of the
Rothschild Foundation Europe, with the current Lord Rothschild, a driving force behind
the commemorations, hosting its first meeting
in the same room as his ancestor received the
historic document.
It will coordinate events and encourage participation across the community. The Union of
Jewish Students, which has a seat around the
table, will coordinate activities on campus.
A new website, balfour100.com, has also been
launched to offer detailed information about
the Declaration and what led to it, providing an
insight into the key players involved and a timeline with more than 550 key moments. Johnson
said the authoritative resource was not meant
Ambassador Mark Regev releases 99 balloons to mark the occasion, while an image of the
famous Balfour Declaration was projected onto the wall of the Israeli embassy in London
to be triumphalist or shrill and doesnt shy

away from difficult questions.
He added: Its part of history and there
are different interpretations of facts that hap-
pened. I would hope that people who go to the

site will understand why the Declaration was
issued, the impact, what was going on at the
time and what happened after it was issued.

Liberal shuls
agree to merge
Liberal Judaism has welcomed the merger of
two synagogues into a new community serving
East London and West Essex.
Members of Bet Tikvah and Woodford
Liberal Synagogues voted in favour of forming a
new single congregation led by Rabbis Richard
Jacobi and David Hulbert.
Rabbi Danny Rich, senior rabbi of Liberal
Judaism, said: This is a fantastic opportunity
to bring together the strengths and resources of
Bet Tikvah and Woodford Liberal Synagogues.
This new 700 member Liberal community
is a statement of our confidence in, and desire
to serve the Jewish community of Redbridge,
Essex and beyond.
Bet Tikvah Synagogue
Eighty-six percent of Bet Tikvah members

and 81 percent of Woodford Liberal Synagogue
members voted in favour of unification.
Woodford Liberal Synagogue chairman
Jonny Hurst said: The whole will be greater
than the sum of its parts creating a stronger
and more secure community, without losing the
identity and values which we have both developed and cherished over many decades.
Balfour Declaration anniversary/ World News
10 things you
may not know
about Balfour
To mark this weeks 99th anniversary of the
Balour Declaration, we reveal some fascinating
facts about the most famous proclamation
since the Ten Commandments
The Balfour Declaration is in the form

of a letter dated 2 November 2017 from
Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord
Rothschild. It comprises just 67 words.
Lord Rothschild was asked to convey the

letters contents to the Zionist Federation. This was because the letter could not
be addressed to Chaim Weizmann, the main
driver behind the Declaration, as Weizmann
was not the most senior member of the Zionist
hierarchy. Therefore,
Lord Rothschild, as
de facto head of the
British Jewish community, was asked to
pass the contents of
the Declaration to the
ZF.
In May 1918, Chaim Weizmann met

the Emir Feisal the single recognised
Arab leader at the time in Aqaba where
they exchanged letters of mutual support.
With T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) as
a middleman, the two continued with a series
of meetings that led to a 3 January 1919 memorandum in which Feisal endorsed the Balfour Declaration. However, he was unable to
deliver the memorandum due to Arab hostility.
Imagine how the course of history would have
changed had he been able to
do so.
The Balfour Declaration was given legal

effect and became
part of international law
at the 1920 San Remo conference where Britain was
given a Mandate to administer Palestine and was
required to implement the
Balfour Declaration.
The final letter,

which was sent
on 2 November,
was the fifth draft of
the historic Declaration. You can see the
text of all five drafts at
www.balfour100.com
A month before
issuing the Declaration,
the
War Cabinet asked
for the views of eight Jews, four anti-Zionists
and four Zionists. Letters of support were
submitted by Chief Rabbi Joseph Hertz, Lord
Walter Rothschild and Zionist leaders Nahum
Sokolow and Chaim Weizmann.
Chaim Weizmann was known to the

British Government for his scientific
work for the war effort from Manchester
University, inventing a method to produce
the synthetic acetone used to create cordite,
a military propellant.
Arthur Balfour and Chaim Weizmann

had first met in Manchester in 1906. They
reacquainted their friendship in 1914
through Weizmanns work in the war effort.
The legendary editor of the Manchester

Guardian, CP Scott, after the whom the
Scott Trust is named, did more than
anybody else to open doors for Zionist leader
Chaim Weizmann in his quest for British support for the Zionist enterprise.
10
W i n s t o n
Churchill (pictured) told the
House of Commons in May
1939: Either there will be a
Britain which knows how to
keep its word on the Balfour
Declaration and is not afraid
to do so, or believe me,
we shall find ourselves
relieved of many overseas responsibilities
other than those comprised within the Palestine Mandate.
11
In honour of the community coming

together for this special anniversary, heres a bonus fact... The Declaration was not published in the press until
9 November a week after it was issued.
The government intended that it should not
be made public until a favourable military
situation had been brought about. This
was known by 8 November. However, since
this was a Thursday, the news was delayed
until the next day, a Friday, when it could be
revealed in the Jewish Chronicle (a popular
newspaper of the time).

American Jews over

here, voting over there
There are 380,000 US expats in the UK. Ahead of the
Presidential election, we speak to British-based voters to
find out why they are unanimously backing Hillary Clinton
Jews living in London gave a thumbs-up
for Hillary Clinton this week, ahead of an
election that has polarised opinion like
never before, writes Stephen Oryszczuk.
For Holly Kal-Weiss, 51, a lifelong
Democrat from Illinois and Clinton
voter, her decision is a matter of principle.
I wouldnt vote Republican, she says.
I admire the Greens, but I wouldnt waste
my vote, especially as it might give Trump
a way in. There is no choice in this election.
Only Hillary can do the job.
Kal-Weiss says the candidates views on
Israel and/or Jewish issues had no bearing
on her considerations. By far her bigger
concern is Trump who, she says, is not the
friend of Jews he purports to be.
Hes a danger to democracy, she says.
Hes a bigot and a pig. Anyone who wants
to ban Muslims, who calls Mexicans rapists, is not fit for office. If Jews think he
wouldnt turn on them, they are foolish.
President Trump would be an embarrassment, Kal-Weiss argues, adding: His
close relationship with Russia is also a

worry, but the real concern is the Supreme
Court justice appointments [over which
he would have power, as president]. He
could turn the clock back on womens and
minority rights by appointing someone
who would overturn all the gains made in
the last 50 years.
Bristol Universitys David Tiedemann,
25, a stalwart Democrat born in California, agrees and says a sense of decency
swayed his vote towards Clinton. Trump
simply lacks the moral fibre, says the
London-based PhD student.
His anti-Hispanic racism, questioning
the legitimacy of American democracy,
misogyny, the unconstitutional attack on
Muslims it all makes him unfit for the
highest office of state, he says.
Likewise, Israel and/or Jewish issues
are not a factor in his decision. Trumps
statements, and the way he has divided
opinion, appears to have galvanised American Jews such as Tiedemann in a manner

not seen in past elections.

I have never before felt such a necessity
that a brand of politics has to be refuted,
he adds. Trump has to lose, and lose badly.
The American people must reject his
destructive political style or else his ideological successors will poison US politics
for a generation to come.
Is Trump worrying for Jews? It is worrying for any Jew when a political figure
proposes open religious discrimination
against whatever group, Tiedemann says.
Trumps open embrace of anti-Muslim
repression evokes some obvious strong
historical memories so, yes, the rise of rightwing or alt-right anti-Semitism associated
with the Trump campaign is concerning.
I would hope that particular element of
Trumps support would disqualify him for
any American Jew.
New York media consultant Carol
Bronze said: There was never any question
for me, it had to be Hillary. Shes the only
sensible nominee. Shes conducted herself
with dignity and intelligence, as a respected
statesperson.
When asked about the prospect of a
President Trump, Bronze asks: How can
you believe in a country that elects probably
the worst candidate America has ever seen
in Trump? It would reflect how deeply the
US is out of touch with everything that
matters. If Trump gets elected, Ill arrange
to meet my US relatives in Israel or the
UK, rather than popping back. It wont feel
like home again until many years after his
reign of terror.
For Heidi Schwartz, 55, a Philadelphia-born content editor at Jewish Care
in London, the bigger issues are corporate influence on politics, gun control,
employment, education, health and the

He has no idea how government works, only how to

Ugly infatuation
Another British university event has been disrupted by pro-Palestinian
protesters chanting to silence an Israeli speaker. This week saw Universities UK and the National Union of Students defer responsibility to the host
venue University College London (UCL), which is investigating. Next week
will see it all but forgotten. Thats nowhere near good enough. UCL must be
held fully accountable to ensure it takes firm, swift and appropriate action.
Of course, universities should must facilitate free expression and free
exchange of ideas, including views some find repugnant. One such view is
that Israel acts illegally and discriminates against Palestinians. This is not
a radical view held by half-a-dozen online neo-Nazis. It is a broader view,
alongside another mainstream view (our view) which is that Israeli policy
is designed to protect Israelis, and that Israel acts accordingly. Both views
can be genuinely-held, and it is only by bringing Israeli speakers to the UK,
listening to them and learning from them that we understand the reality
of life in the Middle Easts only free society. To not do so is to be wilfully
ignorant, and that is the only indefensible position we know of.
But all this is to assume that these views can be heard without threat or
aggression, without Jewish students having to run the gauntlet of an angry
mob telling them theyre terrorists. Jewish parents worried about their
sons and daughters have long known that campuses are hotbeds of student
politics, but Israel-Palestine at times seems to be todays one and only
infatuation. Universities have been late to recognise this, and to realise that
while protests are fine safety must be the priority. Jews and/or Israelis
will not be driven underground, and stand ready to engage. But this should
be with measured words, not raised voices and pointed fingers.

Rosyln Pine (Letters, 20 October) is greatly mistaken to

assert we may criticise Israel
only if we actually live there.
Because we are affected
directly by Israels actions,
we all have a stake in Israeli
politics, like it or not. There
is a reason our schools and
synagogues resemble fortified prisons.
Ms Pines Israel activism
may not at present undermine the democratic will of
the Israeli electorate, but
that is only because she
shares the views and aims of
the ruling party.
Did she stay silent when
the Oslo accords were being
ratified? How would she
comport herself if the left
wing took power and began
relinquishing the territories
and Jerusalem? It would

no doubt trigger a flurry of
dishonourable letters by
Finchleys loyal Zionist.
She expects citizens of
Israel begrudgingly to accept
the will of the majority, yet
she, as a citizen of Britain,
does not flinch from dissenting publicly from our own
governments view regarding
the illegality of settlements.
Instead of holding our Foreign Office in contempt, she
should consider moving to
the country whose interests
she really has at heart. Jews
in this country are British, not
Israeli, and, like the anti-Semites among us, she must learn
to stop conflating the two.

Editorial comment and letters
Just stop whingeing

I was born in London but have spent
most of my adult life in Israel. I returned to the UK due to family
obligations and it astounds me to
find once-feisty English Jews continually whining about anti-Semitism.
Where is the Cable Street spirit?
Consider the black population. Any
racism, anti-black treatment or prejudice is dealt with speedily by direct
action. Remember the Tottenham riots? Today, Tottenham is a much better area for its black citizens. Proof
direct action brings results. Too many
mealy-mouthed, whingeing AngloJews are afraid to say Boo in case
they light the fires of anti-Semitism.

These foolish people dont realise
how they are seen as cowards and
easy targets for those who hate us.
It is surprising with so many articles dedicated to anti-Semitism you

should seek to describe a Jewish person so divisively in a story that had
nothing to do with religious beliefs
unless you are trying to make a point.
I was listening recently to

a programme on religions
which was broadcast on the
BBC World Service.
I was shocked but perhaps not surprised when the
presenter volunteered the
information that Of course
Jesus spoke Aramaic and
Arabic.
Arabic? Really? The Bible
of course was written in
Aramaic and Arabic and the
Hebrew language? Oh yes,
that was born in 1948!
Was the presenter just
ignorant of history or just
another deliberate denier of
Jewish history?
As far as I know, nobody
corrected him not the BBC
editors nor any representatives of the church.
Are these people too
timid to speak out?

AN UNNECESSARY PREFIX
You recently ran two stories depicting Jewish people. One you described as a Jewish special-needs
teacher which was quite correct.
Underneath, you described the
person involved in an accident as an
Orthodox jeweller. What does the
prefix Orthodox add or in any way
help the story or the reader?
ARE THESE PEOPLE

JUST TOO AFRAID
TO SPEAK OUT?
MAKE IT REAL, PEOPLE

The Kumbaya model of interfaith is, quite rightly, slammed by Fiyaz Mughal
(Jewish News, 20 October) as interfaith leaders peering into iPhones together.
Involving leaders does make interfaith more kosher, but the only way forward
is through real people doing real things together to break down prejudice and
hatred, which are thriving in uncharted post-Brexit Britain.
With Mitzvah Day four weeks away, I urge everyone, not just leaders, to
contact their local churches, mosques, temples or gudwara to share not just the
social-action project itself but, ultimately, the challenges facing society today.

instructive to look at an unexpected side- effect of the allegations of sexual misconduct committed by
the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.
Its been a matter of record for years
that Israeli society is riddled with the sort
of misogynist attitudes apparently held by
Trump, that assumption that by virtue of
being a man, that person can have anything
or anyone he wants.
Two of the most egregious examples:
Moshe Dayan and the former president,
Moshe Katzav. Dayan could never have got
away with his behaviour in todays climate;
Katzav is serving seven years for rape and
sexual harassment.
Its not confined, this sort of thing, to
Israeli society. Jewish community life was
riddled with it when I was a young reporter.
One man, now long dead, actually chased
me round a couch in his office; another, now

disgraced for a different kind of unethical
behaviour, took exception to something I had
written and complained to my editor that I
had made advances towards him.
I will be forever grateful to that editor for
treating the approach with the contempt it
deserved.
Young women, when I was starting out,
didnt have many options about confronting
these attitudes.
As the Savile victims will confirm, most
women had to grin and bear it or take themselves out of harms way wherever possible.
But many men continue to believe they can
behave with impunity, as the depressing tale of
Danielle Berrin and the Israeli journalist Ari
Shavit illustrates.
Berrin, who is, not to put too fine a point
on it, strikingly gorgeous, waited for two and a
half years to take her revenge on Shavit, who,
she says, sexually assaulted her when she went
to interview him for the Los Angeles Jewish
Journal while he was in America publicising
his critically acclaimed book, My Promised
ARI SHAVIT IS NOW

RUINED ALL HIS
MORAL AUTHORITY
AND CREDIBILITY
ARE GONE
Land. In her damning cover story, Berrin

recounts how she went to an unnamed
Israeli journalists hotel at 10pm to get her
interview.
Instead, things went very pear-shaped:
the Israeli lunged and grabbed at her,
claimed that he and his wife had an arrangement and speculated on what might happen
if Berrin became his mistress.
Five minutes after publication, the whole
of Israel had figured out that the grabber was
Ari Shavit, the moral voice of the peace
camp, whose articulate denunciation of the

right-wing has made a whole slew of society
feel better about itself.
In short order, Shavit outed himself and
apologised to Berrin for what he characterised
as flirtation, which I imagine is what he
told himself (and possibly his wife) to make
himself feel better.
Berrin doesnt buy his apology.
Three days later and another American
Jewish woman, this time anonymously,
complained that Shavit had hit on her.
She was 26 at the time; Shavit is 58.
Now he has had to resign from Haaretz,
where he has been a long-time columnist and
a member of its editorial board, and from
Israels Channel 10 TV, where he presents a
political show.
Thus Shavit is, effectively, ruined, though
he has only himself to blame.
All moral authority and credibility are
gone.
Full disclosure: I interviewed Shavit and he
was a perfect gentleman.
Lucky me, huh?
The hate is among us once

again and its terrifying
OPINION: SAMANTHA
SIMMONDS
JOURNALIST & TV PRESENTER
hen I was young my parents

taught me the word hate
is a very strong word and
should not be used lightly.
Those words always stuck with me
and they are words I now repeat to
my children.
But the reality is my children are
growing up in a world where they will learn
the word hate could be applied to them
because of their religion.
The Holocaust ended just 27 years
before I was born.
But growing up in Leeds the Shoah
and pernicious anti-Semitism that
accompanied it was history the history of
the Jewish people and a small part of my
own familys past.
My great aunt Ruths family had
hosted kindertransport children in
Bradford. Great uncle Heinz fled Nazi
Czechoslovakia and eventually ended up in
MY OLDEST CHILD
DOESNT YET KNOW
ANTI-SEMITISM, BUT
IT WONT BE LONG
BEFORE HE LOSES
HIS INNOCENCE
Yorkshire.
The terrible history of our people
becomes for many of us, myself included,
part of our DNA.
But what do we say to our children now
that its not just history?
Of course there has always been antiSemitism. However ,in my lifetime it has
never been at this level and on the rise.
I dont want to be alarmist Im not
predicting or anticipating a resurgence of
fascism the likes of which nearly destroyed
the Jewish people.
But the hate is among us and it frightens

me.
My oldest child is only eight and doesnt
yet know about anti-Semitism.
But it wont be long before he loses his
innocence.
As he attends a Jewish school he will
be learning about this hatred I suspect
almost subliminally.
He hasnt asked me yet why there are
four security guards at the gates.
But he will.
He hasnt asked me about why children
at Jewish schools have to practice hiding
under their desks or running inside if there
is a lock down but he will.
And what will I say?
Will I tell him that anti-Semitic
incidents in London rose by 62 percent
between the first six months of 2015 and
2016?
Will I tell him that a recent survey
found one-in-10 voters believe Jewish
people have too much influence in the UK?
Will I tell him that last week a speaker at
a parliamentary event compared Israel to
Islamic State and suggested Jews were to
blame for the Holocaust?

Will I tell him the Archbishop of
Canterbury believes the virus of antiSemitism is deeply entrenched in British
society?
Its one thing growing up with antiSemitism as part of your cultural and family
history but what will it mean growing up
with it very much in your present.
What impact will it have on my children?
Will they grow up in fear?
Will they grow up feeling ostracised,
threatened and unwelcome, becoming ever
more segregated from the rest of society?
Perhaps it wont mean any of these things.
Perhaps I hope this is all a blip and I am
worrying for no good reason.
But the worry fills me alternately with fear
and with sadness.
Fear of course of any future attacks on
our community and sadness that this is the
reality for Jewish children my children
growing up in 21st-century Britain.
I teach my children to treat everyone
with equal respect and tolerance and that no
one should be pre-judged by their looks or
beliefs.

Opinion
For Tonge, anti-Semitism

is hate with good reason
DAVID HIRSH
FOUNDER OF ENGAGE CAMPAIGN

AGAINST ACADEMIC BOYCOTTS OF ISRAEL
ormer Liberal Democrat peer

Baroness Jenny Tonge chaired an
event in the House of Lords last
week in favour of a boycott of Israel.
A man made a speech from the floor saying
that it was a Jewish boycott of Germany which
had antagonised Hitler over the edge to want to
systematically kill Jews wherever he could find
them. The man was saying that Zionist Jews,
and their campaign against Nazi Germany, were
responsible for causing the Holocaust.
Jenny Tonge sat respectfully through this
speech and thanked the man warmly.
It was as if she had heard only one word that
he had said, and that was the word boycott.
She replied by saying that the campaign for a
boycott of Israel is very, very important, but
she said nothing about his anti-Semitic argument. The whole episode was followed by warm
applause from around the room.
All the evidence over the past 10 years shows

that the boycott campaign the campaign to
single out only Israel for exclusion from the
human community brings with it anti-Semitic
rhetoric and it fosters a culture of tolerance for
anti-Semitism.
Jenny Tonge herself made a similar point
last week in response to the Home Affairs Select
Committee report on anti-Semitism. She wrote
that it is difficult to believe that the rise in antiSemitism could be explained by people hating
Jews for no reason.
She wrote that anti-Semitism is on the rise
because of the disgust among the general
public for the way the government of Israel
treats Palestinians. For her, anti-Semitism
is not a case of hating Jews for no reason; it is
hating Jews for good reasons.
And she went on to indulge in anti-Semitic
conspiracy theory herself, saying that antiSemitism was also caused by peoples disgust
at the way Israel manipulates the USA and
ourselves as though little Israel was stronger
than the great western powers, and also

disgracefully manipulative. You can read the full

text of Tonges letter on her own Facebook page.
At the Liberal Democrat party conference in
September 2006, she said: The pro-Israeli lobby
has got its grips on the western world.
She went on to explain exactly what sort of
grips she was referring to: Its financial grips.
Tonge employed the ostensibly anti-racist
language of the pro-Israel lobby to articulate
anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
Both major political parties in Britain are
currently in crisis. Labour is moving away
from democratic and rational politics into a
populism in which left-wing anti-Semitism is
becoming more and more prominent. For their
part, the Conservatives are moving away from
democratic and rational politics into a xenophobic populism. It is a change in direction that
threatens to harm the economy of the UK and
to bring down the democratic institutions by
which Europe has kept the peace since the fall of
Nazism and communism.
The Liberal Democrats, who are in the position of being seen as a separate force, have the
opportunity to hold the democratic and rational
centre of UK politics. It is to the partys credit
that it finally moved to suspend Tonge last week,
a decision that prompted her to quit the party.
But as long as anti-Zionist anti-Semitism
is tolerated within its organisation, it will be
considered by many to be little more than a
Corbyn-lite party.

BRINGS ANTI-SEMITIC RHETORIC AND FOSTERS A

CHIEF RABBI EPHRAIM MIRVIS:
Photo by Marc Morris
Separation from mundane work and empty distraction

is necessary to reinvigorate ones soul; to find space for
meaningful engagement with our friends and families
in a noisy world of media and communications which
constantly demand our attention.
Shabbat bonds families together, it bonds
communities together and it reminds us that we
must have control over our environments and not
the other way around.

UNITED SYNAGOGUE:
RABBI ALAN GARBER, SHENLEY

UNITED SYNAGOGUE:
DANIEL EDER, CONTENT MANAGER,

STANMORE:
The holiness of Shabbat is

ushered in especially by the
Jewish woman through her
lighting of the Shabbat candles.
Each light adds another
element of holiness and peace to ones home
and, collectively, to the entire world. This
symbolises how each one of us plays a crucial
and irreplaceable role in Gods world, bringing
it to its perfection.
Lighting Shabbat candles is a

sigh of relief it is knowing I
can do no more and a symbol
of my time just to be. It focuses
me to stop running around and
get on the floor to play hungry
hippos with my three-year-old. It is warmth,
it is light, it is the start of my quality time
with Hashem, my family and myself.
The significance of the Shabbat

candles for me is moving
towards a sense of calm, peace
and purpose. They signal a
destination in closeness to family,
community and Hashem.
Shabbat is the one time of the week

to stop, pause everyday stresses and
reflect on the past week. Lighting
Shabbat candles starts this process,
bringing light into our lives, allowing
an opportunity to pray for good health and
blessings. Growing up watching my mother
light shabbat candles every week, for me, its
not Shabbat without lighting the candles.
REBBETZIN JOANNE DOVE, SEED:
ALEX FENTON, YOUTH DIRECTOR,

SYNAGOGUES:
Candle-lighting time is a special

time I look forward to. At that
moment when I light the first
of my 10 candles, a custom of
lighting an extra candle for each
child, I leave behind the rush,
the cooking, the mobile phone and the front
door, and all goes quiet for a short while. There
is an immediate change of the week going into
Shabbat and, as I kindle each light, a special
prayer goes to our children, to our home, to our
extended family and to all the Jewish people
trusting that they will be looked after by the
One above.
Shabbat candle lighting is a

special time for me, because it
means that I am disconnecting
from the physical world to
reconnect to the spiritual world.

and look forward to precious time with my

ANTHONY RENTON,

Lighting candles for Shabbat is

Lifestyle / Radio reflections
Now heres a thought...

With more than six million listeners, BBC
Radio 2s Pause For Thought provides a place
to discuss modern life. Here, we publish three
reflections from a new book on the broadcast
CHIEF RABBI EPHRAIM MIRVIS
BROADCAST 27 NOVEMBER 2013
One of my favourite songs is Who Am I? from
Les Misrables. For the ex-convict Jean
Valjean, the song is a question of personal
identity. His answer, 24601, reflects the limitations that others have placed upon him. Like
most people, when I first meet somebody, my
instinct is to find a personal connection.
So, who am I? I am a husband, son, brother,
father and grandfather. I was born in South
Africa. I have lived in Israel, Ireland and
now the United Kingdom. I am Jewish and I
support Tottenham Hotspur. These multiple
aspects of my identity provide a basis on which
to find common ground with others and to
begin to establish meaningful connections.
Tonight, we Jewish people around the
world will light a candle for the first night
of Chanukah, which celebrates identity and
belonging. In doing so, we will remember how,
nearly 2,200 years ago, the Greek Empire
sought to force the Jews of ancient Israel to
give up their faith and long-held traditions.
In a small outpost in the Holy Land, a band
of Jews led by Judah Maccabee wrote themselves into history by defeating the Greek
armies at least temporarily. Greater than
their military defeat, though, was what they
were fighting for: the right to determine their
own identity and to give their own answer to
the question Who am I?
On Chanukah, we reflect on how we define
ourselves and the value of shared identity.
Whether as part of a family, a community or a
nation, we each have multiple and overlapping
identities at our core.
This complex tapestry is hugely significant,
adding richness and meaning to our lives; and
the more identities we share, the more we
find we have in common. However, at the
same time there is strength in diversity.
Attempts to impose ones identity on
others is counter-productive. If, as
individuals, we can appreciate the
equal value of those who share our
identity and those who dont, then our
combined future will be all the brighter.
So, who am I? Just like you, Im
someone who delights in what we share
and who takes great pleasure in what
makes us unique.

BROADCAST 27 APRIL 2015
During the depths of winter, I always bring in
the amaryllis bulbs that have been languishing
outside on the windowsill since last year,
clean their pots and give them a bit of water
and fertiliser. Just this last week, theyve
been rewarding me with the most spectacular
display of salmon-pink blooms, and they make
me smile as I walk into my kitchen. The bulbs

APPRECIATE THE
EQUAL VALUE OF
THOSE WHO SHARE
OUR IDENTITY AND
THOSE WHO DONT,
OUR COMBINED
FUTURE WILL BE
ALL THE BRIGHTER
were given to me some seven or eight years ago,
and yet back they come every year. My flowers
give me enormous pleasure.
My children tell me, as I talk to them about
my few gardening successes: Mum, youre just
getting old. But its not just an older persons
pleasure. The emphasis on planting gardens
goes back to the Bible. The prophet Jeremiah
told the Israelite exiles in Babylon to Build
houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat
their produce. The prophet Isaiah used the
metaphor of a vineyard that God had nurtured
but which failed to reward its owner with lavish
grapes. Faced with only wild, bitter fruit, the
owner threatened to uproot the vineyard.
King Ahab took Naboths vineyard and used
it as a vegetable garden, even though Naboth
had refused to sell it. Gardens are everywhere
in the Bible and ancient literature. Theyre
deeply rooted in our way of thinking, whether
were young or old. And at this time of year they
make us all smile, with the feeling that everything is going to be plentiful once again.
I think we should remind ourselves to
delight in burgeoning nature, for we need that
sense of renewal each year. It gives us hope and
a cause for gratitude, which we dont acknowledge often enough. My flowering bulbs make
me say thank you. And each year, as everything
starts flowering once again, I am just grateful to

be alive. We could all share that gratitude, and
perhaps even show it, by gardening more, giving
each other more plants and celebrating life.

BROADCAST 13 MARCH 2015
I remember very clearly one of the first times
my mum taught me something that would
remain with me for life.
I was seven years old and my mum was a
supply teacher assigned to my form. As my
sister had an inset day from her school, she
came with her.
That afternoon one of my classmates asked
me what was wrong with my sister. I didnt
know what to say. I didnt know there was
anything wrong with her. She was just my sister.
After some tears, when we were safely home,
I asked my mum the same question: what WAS
wrong with my sister?
Rather than her trying to explain it to me,
she asked my sister to tell me.
And Sara took up the challenge and
explained that when she was born, the water
travelling around her head had become stuck,
causing some brain damage and making her
head misshapen something my classmate
had obviously spotted rather quicker than me.
My mum gave my sister the dignity of
speaking herself, rather than talking about it
without her as if it were a bad thing or a secret.
Sara could own her challenges and I knew I
could speak directly to her about them.
This episode has repeatedly reminded me
to allow people the dignity of speaking for
themselves rather than speaking about them or
around them.
Even when we might assume people dont
have the ability to speak for themselves or
might be uncomfortable doing so, we actually
give them a huge gift when we invite them to
own their story and tell it themselves.

Lifestyle / Electric bike menace
Riding into danger

A father is hoping his Facebook campaign against the growing menace of electric bikes
in Israel will finally persuade the authorities to take urgent action, writes Lisa Sanders
sraeli parents are at last waking up to

the dangers of electric bicycles and
scooters, thanks to a fathers furious
post on Facebook addressed to the
morons whose child I nearly murdered this
morning.
Raziel Peer, from Jerusalem, was collecting
his eight-year-old son from school. Suddenly
there was a boy aged eight or nine that just
came straight out in front of me, without
stopping or looking. And without a helmet
My own son was sitting in the car with me.
Hes the same age. I can still hear his scream
Abbaaaa! Lo! [Dad! No!]
Afterwards, says Peer, the little boy he hit
simply ran off, leaving his bike laying crushed
on the road.
As a father, it made me so furious, Peer
told Israels Channel Two TV.
In his post, which garnered 52,000 likes
he rages against the parents of the young
cyclist: Did your son bring children into the
world? Did he get his degree after becoming
an outstanding officer in the army? No! ..What
were you two fools thinking before you sent
him out into my path?
Electrically-assisted bikes are growing
in popularity across Europe.
Globally, 35 million E-bikes
were sold in 2015. In the
UK, Germany and the
Netherlands, they are
marketed as an
Left, Raziel Peer; right, two girls, one on the phone, riding an electric bike in Netanya
environmentally-friendly way to allow

everyone to enjoy cycling, irrespective of age or
fitness level. In Israel, however, they have been
embraced by a much younger clientele. Israeli
children commonly travel to and from school
independently, on foot or by bike. The E-bikes
have fast become a must-have accessory for
children and teenagers, and a deadly danger on
roads and pavements.

The bikes are designed to reach a top speed
of 25 kilometres an hour (15.5 mph), but many
Israeli teens are adapting the motors to go
much faster than this. They zip silently along
roads and pavements, often with two or even
three riders piled on to the seat.
Despite E-bikes being involved in hundreds
of traffic accidents each year, the government
has been slow to legislate and to enforce the
rules. Back in 2014, a lowest age limit
of 14 was set by the Ministry of
Transport. In mid-2016,
this was raised to 16.
Bikes are not to be
ridden on the
pavements,
and each one must have a horn or a bell, lights

and reflectors.
In practice, however, these rules are simply
not being enforced.
In two separate incidents in Beersheva,
three teenagers were left severely injured and
one was killed as a result of riding electric bikes
in the city in the dark, reportedly without lights
or helmets.
Shmuel Abuav, director general of Or Yarok
(Green Light), the road safety organisation,
says: Electric bicycles have been proven as
life-threatening to both cyclists and other
road-users. Accordingly, the police and local
authorities have a responsibility to take care of
full enforcement of regulations and not to allow
children to go on this dangerous tool.
Senior doctors at Ichilov Hospital in Tel
Aviv have published their own campaign to try
to get the message across.
Parents must understand that you dont
give an 11-year-old an electric bicycle because
of peer pressure, says Dr. Oren Tavor, head of
Paediatric Orthopaedics. Its a weapon.
Every week, according to the orthopaedic
doctors, they are carrying out operations on
riders of electric bikes, as well as treating those
who have been knocked down by the machines.
In Jerusalem, Raziel Peer hopes that his
outburst will finally have brought the message
home to parents not to buy these expensive
gadgets for their children. I got a lot of
reactions from parents who said theyre taking
away electric scooters and bikes from their
kids, he said. And I got a call from a mother
whose son is still in hospital.
This is the reality. I think
parents arent doing
enough to say no to
their children. And
this is the result.

Oven-roasted pumpkin and chestnuts
Denise
Phillips
PREPARATION TIME
15 MINS
This is a colourful side dish that adds texture to a roast dinner.

When pumpkin is not in season substitute with butternut squash
and for a short cut, buy ready peeled, vacuum packed chestnuts.
Unlike other nuts and seeds, chestnuts are relatively low in
calories. They contain less fat, but are rich in minerals, vitamins
and nutrients that benefit health. They are chiefly made of starch
rather than fat, similar to sweet potatoes, sweet corn and plantain.
To cook fresh chestnuts, boil and then simmer for 20 minutes.
Leave to cool and then peel. This method is best if you are
mashing them as they will tend to fall apart.
Alternatively, roast them at 200C/ 400F for 20 minutes; make
cuts horizontally or an x along the side, otherwise they can
potentially explode from internal pressure if not pierced!

The latest buzz

about HONEY G!
We catch up on what the Jewish
answer to Snoop Dogg and
Kanye West real name Anna
Georgette Gilford has been up
to on the latest X Factor show!
THE THEME: What else could the

randomly chosen theme be other than
Fright Night (in the run up to Halloween)?
THE SONG: Honey G shunned ghouls,
ghosts and werewolves and opted instead
for something truly out of this world with
her cover of Men In Black.
THE LOOK: The performer explored her
dark side with a black leather baseball
cap, studded black jacket and cool
holographic pumps, as well as the
obligatory shades and glittering dollar
sign medallion.
THE BLUNDER: Talking to the camera

before her performance, Honey G
confessed she had been working hard to
learn her ad-libs. Viewers were quick to
pick up on her mistake. One wrote: When
you have to learn an ad lib then its not an
ad lib. Duh! #HoneyG #XFactor. Another
tweeted: Learning all the ad-libs. Thats
literally the opposite of an ad-lib.
LOOK WHOS TALKING RAP: From one
white rapper to another, Professor Green
waded into the debate by saying Honey G
was taking the mickey out of rap.
THE RAZZMATAZZ: Backing dancers

dressed as MIBs, pyrotechnics, smoke
machines and laser lights plus flying
saucers! What more could the
audience possibly ask for?
THE VERDICT: Viewers were quick to

question again why Honey G has been
voted through while Gifty had to exit the
competition. One wrote: After the #brexit
vote I knew the #UK was stupid, but
keeping #HoneyG confirms it.
WHAT DID THE JUDGES THINK? Sharon

and Louis leapt to their feet, Nicole did
a little celebratory dance while Simon
gushed: G stands for the greatest.
WHATS NEXT: Boyband vs Girlband is

the theme. Could It Be Magic for Honey Gs

The Wight stuff

Jenni Frazer finds much to enjoy on a bijou
island paradise conveniently close to home
Main picture: Part of the Isle of Wights

rugged coastline, a must-see along with
the Steam Railways historic rolling stock;
below, Osborne House, Queen Victorias
summer palace and the scene of her death
ven the shortest trip to the Isle of

Wight gives a holiday atmosphere,
as drivers and foot passengers alike
throng one of the majestic Red
Funnel ferries for the quick 45-minute
trip from Southampton to East Cowes.
Make sure you nip up straight away to the
top deck, to enjoy the sea breezes and the
astonishing range of shipping in the Solent we
saw one of the huge Princess Line cruise ships,
complete with hundreds of waving passengers and, in complete contrast, a fishing boat
surrounded by thousands of hungry gulls as the
lone sailor threw fish heads into the sea.
If, like us, you are staying on the east coast,
your first challenge on leaving the ferry will
be arguing with the satnav as it directs you to
get on the ferry.
In this case, the satnav is right. You are
being directed to the tiny but efficient chain
ferry, built in 1859, which links one part of
Cowes to the other across the River Medina.
If you dont use the chain ferry, which takes
you over in a rapid 15 minutes, you instead face
a 10-mile trip to the islands centre and capital,
Newport, before making your way to the coast.
You are treading, of course, in the footsteps of
Queen Victoria, whose summer palace, Osborne
House, made the island a must-visit tourist
destination from the 1880s onwards.
But the monarch, who died at Osborne
House, wasnt the first to discover the pleasures
of this bijou island paradise, as a Roman villa
archaeological site testifies.
Henry VIII fortified the island and Charles I
THE YEAR-ROUND

WEATHER THAN ON

was imprisoned there. The poet Alfred, Lord

Tennyson, had a holiday home and, to his wifes
great annoyance, used to sneak out to the back
garden and into the house of pioneer photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, great-aunt of the
novelist Virginia Woolf, where he would pose for
pictures in her garden.
Camerons house, Dimbola Lodge, is now a
photography museum at Freshwater Bay, and
well worth a visit.
The islands main income comes from
tourism, no surprise given that the place has a
year-round micro-climate that offers reassuringly better weather than on the mainland.
In the summer, the Isle of Wight is sunnier
than most parts of the UK, while in some years
there is rarely snow in the winter and only a few
days of hard frost.
So many of the islands attractions, from the
Dinosaur Activity Centre to the Alpaca Farm,
are aimed at children, not forgetting the fabulous slew of bucket-and-spade beaches.
Its easy to overlook guilty pleasures such as
the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. But the lovingly
recreated stations and puffing billy trains have
the power to charm everyone, young and old,
and the railway is truly not to be missed.
The deeply-patient station staff, heroic in
their waistcoats and red-banded caps, seem
happy to pose for endless pictures, as is the
engineer, who deftly turns round the engine at
the end of the line.
Restored train carriages from Victorian and

Edwardian times whisk oldies back to their
childhoods and children are lost in wonder.
Havenstreet, the central station, decorated with
evocative signage, has a lovely train museum and
what tastes like real old-fashioned ice cream.
Food is also a large part of this holiday
destination. Besides the ice-cream the late
film director, Anthony Minghella, came from
the family of Isle of Wight ice-cream makers
the island is famous for apricots, tomatoes,
delicious dairy produce, glorious fresh eggs,
super tart apple juices and ciders, edible
lavender and, of course, fabulous garlic.
The owners of the Garlic Farm in Newchurch
have gone in for the foodie experience in a big
way, offering products you never knew could
have garlic in them, from the very mildest to the
truly fierce Vampire jars.
When they warn you about the latter by the

way, do take them seriously and not as an invitation to show how tough you are. Products such
as roast garlic jam are divine for putting on a
slowly-roasted chicken, and garlic mayo will pep
up the most tired of salads.
Driving round Wight is easy. Its almost
impossible to get lost and everything is well
signposted, although it is slightly unnerving to
emerge from a single-track B-road covered in
misty foliage, to drive into a suburban street full
of neat houses. But you get used to it.
There is a Reform Jewish community on the
island at Wroxall, looked after by the Bournemouth Reform Congregation.
Here on the Isle of Wight your mission is
simple: relinquish the day-to-day responsibilities, escape to the island, and you cant fail to
have a good time.
WHERE TO STAY...

offers day-return crossings for foot passengers from 9.40 and short-break
return vehicle crossings from 51, together with ferry-inclusive holiday

Sedra: Noah, Torah For Today / Orthodox Judaism
SEDRA
- Noah
Torah For Today

What does the Torah say about: Political mudslinging
RABBI NAFTALI SCHIFF

The second sedra of the Torah opens with a description of the
corruption of mankind. Rashi explains this moral degradation
expressed itself through the perversion of interpersonal relationships. The world becomes filled with selfish people intent
on using others for their personal and financial gratification.
As a result, Hashem hit the restore factory settings button
on the world, leaving Noah and his family to create the prototype version 2.0. The ark was far more than a floating zoo.
He and his family had to work selflessly for a year to sustain
the animals. The rabbis explain he was punished for being late
with the lions food; had the lion died, that would have been
the end of the lion kingdom. The sin of selfishness is rectified
with unlimited giving of self to create a healthier world order.
The rabbis teach us the new world order was so obsessed
by the construction they would be more upset about the loss
of a brick than the death of a worker. The sedra that starts with
the primacy of the individual changes direction to emphasise
importance of the collective, but neither seems to hit the mark.
Our sedra therefore concludes by introducing a new character, Abraham, a revolutionary who seeks to introduce a new
social order, one based on keeping the way of Hashem, doing
charity and justice (Bereishit 18:19).
Abraham dedicates his life to humanity and, in doing so,
fulfils his potential. Abrahams revolution is enduring as it
begins with the genuine fulfilment of self on the path to selfless giving to others.
Naftali Schiff is CEO of Jewish Futures Trust
RABBI ARIEL ABEL

Recent weeks have seen the TrumpClinton debate descend into insults on
character and professional practice. What
is the Torah view on mudslinging?
The Torah forbids three types of slander:
where a rumour is true, untrue or causes
hatred or pain. Mudslinging almost always
causes pain. Painful words are compared
in Proverbs as arrows, shot carelessly by
a mocker who does not care if he insults his
victim. There can be a mitigating circumstance. Where mudslinging is a sport or a
game show, it could be argued no real harm
is intended and the theatrics are harmless.
However, as with bullying, it is hard to
tell what is really going on in someones
65 BRITISH AND
121 AMERICAN
POLITICIANS
COMMITTED
SUICIDE
mind. In British politics, uncomplimentary

words are traded liberally across the house
floor. Should the thin skull rule apply?
Should we take the victim as we find him,
and rule out any form of rudeness out of
political debate? Or can we subscribe to
more objective standards of what is admissible?
A politician without thick skin is in
certain danger of mental ill health. James
Paul, an early 19th century Scottish MP and
son of a tailor, took on Westminster and
failed to gain a seat. He was mocked in the
cartoon press for being a tailors son.
He lost two elections. The pressure
deranged him and he committed suicide,
as have 65 British and 121 American politicians in modern history.
When Jacob met his father-in-law
Laban after fleeing his home, they
exchanged angry words over the accusation Jacob had stolen his idols. Beyond this,
they made a pact never to harm each other
and formally made peace. This agreement
prevented either from holding a grudge
against the other in the future.
The historic mudslinging between
Samaritans and Jews did not serve either
camp. The Jews were mostly exiled from

the Holy Land for almost 2,000 years and
the Samaritans reduced to fewer than 800
today.
Interfaith relations and educating
about the other is crucial to the stability
of society. Blame culture is particularly
dangerous for communal well-being.
If we see our leaders tearing each other
apart instead of debating the real issues in a
dignified way, the danger is they are setting
us up for societal failure.
Rhetoric about refugees and foreigners
has imperilled further the fragile state
of affairs in Britain. Let us hope the postBrexit reality is not worsened by an American political outcome that will polarise
society even further.

Daniel Radcliffe is clever,

he was a Christmas tree

him. He identifies as an atheist, but one very proud to
be Jewish. If Judaism offers
a sense of living life to your

and supporting family, he certainly embodies those ideals.
Since Harry Potter, he has

who might believe the name

Daniel Radcliffe will only ever
mean Harry Potter, hes not a
one-trick pony.
Of course, he also has his
flaws and admits to having an
alcohol addiction in his early
20s. What kind of hero is
that? Well, a hero who, while
battling to be accepted as a
serious actor, put his hand up
and said: I went down a dangerous path, and fought my
way back out of it. And now
Im telling you about it.
That takes serious bravery.
The last couple of weeks seem miraculous. It was early September when I
helped to welcome the 50th teenage
refugee to Britain under clause III of
the Dublin Agreement, which gives
unaccompanied children the right to
join family members here.
These early arrivals came because of
the award-winning work of the charity Safe Passage UK, whose team of
lawyers, translators and social workers
have done the work the Government
should have been doing all along.
But now, in the last two weeks,
around 300 unaccompanied minors
have come to the UK safely and legally,
including the first ever under the terms
of the Dubs Amendment to the Immigration Act. What a change!

Imagine the joy of a boy who has not
seen his brother in 11 years, and now
has seen him, hugged him and knows
he is safe. Or the uncle welcoming his
nephew, who, aside from his wife and
children here, is the only family member he has who is still alive.
The tabloid press though, in complete disregard for any safeguarding
protocol, published full face shots of
the first arrivals, making them fodder
for hatred and potentially putting family members elsewhere in jeopardy too.
To get this far has been a team effort
many in the Jewish community have
raised money to support this work and
have volunteered and campaigned to-

personal documents are now a complete
mess. Can Paperweight help?
Theresa
Dear Theresa
Whats first needed is a simple way of
identifying and filing incoming post and
then dealing with any responses that
paperwork demands.
We can certainly help you go through
Leos papers to determine what is important now, what needs to be kept and, just
as important, what can be thrown away.
Once that is achieved, we can set about
assisting you both in completing the
whole array of forms that arise from being
a council tenant, of pensionable age and
registered disabled.
Please give us a call and we will arrange
for a caseworker to visit you and to assess
the priorities.

Dear Lesley
I gave up work to look after
my elderly mother. She is
now in a care home and
I need to return to work.
But I feel old and out of
the loop with out-of-date
skills. Where do I start?
Brian
Dear Brian
First of all you need the
right mindset. The UK no
longer has an obligatory
retirement age and older
workers are often sought
after to fill skills gaps.
Recognise that you have
experience, wisdom and,
probably, a better work ethic
than many younger people.
So forget about your age and
develop a forward-looking
attitude and willingness to
learn new things.
Next, do a realistic audit
of your skills and strengths,
including those gained
while being a carer, such as
people skills, persistence,
planning and organising.
Start updating rusty skills,
especially computer-related
ones. Then think about the
kind of work you want and
are best qualified for.
Update your CV, highlighting skills and achievements, rather than listing all
your previous employment
chronologically. CVs dont
need to include your date of
birth.
There are many ways to
find a job nowadays, mostly
online. However, research
shows that the best way
is through networking,
especially in the Jewish
community.
Talk to as many people as
possible, be specific about
what you are looking for
and focus on your strengths.
Go to your first interview
looking smart and impress
the interviewer with everything you have to offer.
Resource has helped
many older clients back to
work, so that could be a very
good place to start.

Dear Steve
Whats the real impact of
Brexit? Is now a good time
to buy property?
James
Dear James
In my opinion, Brexit has
hit the property market, but
perhaps this was needed.
What Brexit has really
done is brought a bit of

realism into a market that
was starting to get out of
control. If you are a firsttime buyer, or someone who
is moving up the ladder, this
is probably the best time to
think about moving.
For example, you may
now only achieve 250,000
on a flat that pre-Brexit
you may have achieved
275,000 on. However,
that next house up the
ladder, which was previously 500,000 may now
be 450,000, meaning
that both properties have
dropped by the same
percentage; however when
it comes to actual monetary
value, you would be better
off by 25,000.
For first-time buyers,
this is also a great time to
get onto the ladder, as prices
are now down by around five

to seven percent (less than
they were before June) and,
with interest rates expected
to stay low over the next
12-18 months, money is
cheap. However, lending
criteria may be getting
tougher so if you can get
a mortgage, now is a great
time to get onto the ladder.
My advice to young
people is to get onto
that ladder as quickly as
possible. Once you are on,
you can then move again in
a few years to something
bigger.
One of the issues over
the past few years is the fact
that first-time buyers have
had to fight with investors
for smaller properties and
so, while they are procrastinating, now is your time
to buy.

Jewish News has teamed up

with Drumond Park, one of the
UKs leading games companies,
to give four lucky readers the
chance to win a wonderful pair
of board games worth more
than 50!
In the beautifully designed,
brand new Pickin Chickens game
(rrp 19.99, ages four and over)
children spin the green pasture
and select chicken coops, then add different coloured model chicks to their
collection.
But when Mr Fox pops up from his tree-trunk lair, each player loses a chicken
unless they hold the Farmer card, which protects them from the fox.
The ultra-popular, best-selling LOGO picture board game (rrp 32.99, ages
12 to adult) tests how clever you are at recognising famous brands, alongside
questions based on hundreds of the UKs best loved products from Aero
Bubbles, Birds Eye, BMW and Chelsea FC to Walkers crisps and Wrigleys gum.

Cat burglars!
Smash-and-grab sees Catford sneak
two late goals in thrilling 4-4 draw
By Andrew Sherwood
andrews@thejngroup.com
@JewishNewsUK
Catford & Bromley playermanager Jeff Gotch said his

side will be fighting for the
Division Two title after he
saw them score twice in the
last five minutes to salvage
a 4-4 draw against Temple
Fortune.
Leading by example, the
striker scored a hat-trick,
though it was snatching

Catfords Lawrence Bloom takes

on Fortunes Eshad Rahiv
a draw in the last minute

which left him with a smile
on his face. Gotch (pictured)
said: Im pleased with how
we responded and finished,
although not so pleased with
how we performed in the first
70 minutes, but I take a lot of
positives out of the game.
Trailing 0-1, 1-3 and then 2-4,
Danny Yeshuas last-gasp strike
earned them an unlikely point,
with Gotch saying: It wasnt
our best performance and credit
to Fortune, they looked a decent
team. But four wins, one draw
and one defeat is a great start for
us and trust me, well be fighting
till the end, I can promise that!
Jordan Sharifias first half
double, along with strikes from
Brett Stead and Rob Jay seemed
to have earned Fortune the win.
Assistant manager
Lee Fegan said:
It hurts [to not
win] but there
are positives we
can take away
from the game. We
played very well
Fans arrested over Grant attack plot

Egyptian Security Forces have arrested football
supporters who were plotting to attack Israeli coach
Avram Grant during his Ghana teams trip to Egypt
for a World Cup qualifer.
A member of the Egyption Football Association said
supporters had planned to hurt him with several attacks
of chants, adding: They dont want him to come to Egypt
because people dont like him around.
However, they did deny they had agreed with their
Ghanaian counterparts to increase security for the game,
which is being held at the 75,000-capacity Borg Al Arab
Stadium in Alexandria on 13 November.
Egyptian Football Association executive director,
Tharwat Sweilam, said: Ghana is a normal team just like any
other opponents that visit Egypt.
We dont care about the nationality of their manager
[Avram Grant] or any other thing. We know well the capabilities of our security forces and their ability to guard any
national team.
We dont want to dispel our concentration, we know
what Ghana are attempting to do, but we dont want to keep
Grant takes his Ghana side to Egypt for a World Cup qualifier
reiterating these statements in the media.

The most important thing for us is winning against
Ghana in order to move closer towardsWorld Cup qualification after the qualifiers.

for large parts of the game and

looked very much in control,
but unfortunately we just didnt
capitalise on the clear-cut
chances we created which came
back to haunt us.
Manager Simon Linden, who
wasnt at the game, admitted he
was gutted when he heard how
the game panned out, but was
more positive on the start his
side have made to the season.
He said: I think its been a
good start on the whole. Weve
only lost one from six and the
fixtures havent been that kind.
Im confident there is a lot more
to come from us. If you look at
both the RC UK and Catford
games, we have unfortunately
let a two-goal lead slip twice
against two title challengers
we could be sitting at the top of
the pack.
