Misguided comments may add to anti-Semitism
Gary Selikow
Rabbi Mirvis really cannot understand why working-class people in the UK are against mass immigration from the Middle East and the Third World?
Is he aware that hundreds of veterans from the British armed forces who gave everything to protect Britain are homeless and live on the streets while Muslim immigrants (“refugees”) are housed in council houses and have all their needs seen to with free medical care, free schooling and a budget for groceries, etc.
Thousands of British children go to bed hungry while migrants are put up at top hotels. The journalist and true voice of conscience and nonconformity to the prejudices of Britain’s left elites, Julie Burchill makes the very important point that it is easy for the middle and upper classes not affected negatively by immigration to condemn the working classes who suffer as a result of it.
“That the working class might have a thoroughly legitimate reason for becoming more agitated about immigration that the tolerant middle class with their health insurance, private schools and comfy cars is never considered by these usually oh so caring people.”
“Furthermore, Rabbi Mirvis speaks of the main threat to British Jews as being the British right wing. Actually although there are small neo-Nazi groups existing like National Front and Combat 18 which must be condemned, they have paled into insignificance today.
Genuine patriotic organisations like Britain First and people like Paul Weston and Tommy Robinson, support Israel and have condemned the actions of those people.
Whether Rabbi Mirvis and his ilk like it or not, the vast majority of anti-Semitic attacks in the UK today come from Muslims and the majority of anti-Semitic hate speech come from Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party and Muslim clerics like the fanatical Anjem Choudary.
People like Rabbi Mirvis and other British Jewish elites are living in a 40-year time warp.

‘Correct. Liberals are far removed from reality and it is unpatriotic to support migrants and ignore your own homeless, unemployed and poor. The right wing will be a threat if Jews support migrants and liberal policies. At the moment, there is no threat to jews from right wing elements. The stabbings and protests are from [some radical -ED] muslims and liberals. They are the real problem facing the UK, Europe and USA’

‘I also find it hypocritical that Rabbi Mirvis warns of the dangers to Jews of assimilation but then demands in the same speech that the native English give up their identity and submit to multiculturalism ‘

‘the fact that the Jewish Report refuses to print my comments about child trafficking and gang rape in the UK means they are covering up for this and therefore accomplices

You can make unsubstantiated allegations & be sued for libel.
\nBut if we print them, we are guilty of 40,000 cases. We should (and I would like think do) know better – so you can imagine what we could be sued for?
\nWe cannot allow any user to say anything that may not be true on this website? If you feel that makes us accomplices, you are very wrong. It makes us journalists.
\nIf you have factual evidence of a story you believe could be in the community’s interest, we would love to know about it. If not, we shall continue to be complicit of offering our readers and users good journalism – and continue to guarantee commentators like yourself the benefit of our professional wisdom to protect you from yourself at times. -ED

Thanks for pointing that out, Gary. Of course that was not a news or factual article but an opinion piece by Ben. I have embedded the link should anyone wish to read it. -ED
