The 36 deputies who signed a letter in the Financial Times condemning the actions of Israel in Gaza are now facing an investigation by the Board of Deputies.
A statement from the Board this morning announced that all of the signatories are now “subject to a complaints procedure”, while some senior members of the organisation have been suspended.
They include the vice-chair of the Board’s International Division, who has been suspended pending the investigation into complaints regarding the letter, which was published last Wednesday and has sparked a communal row.
Interesting bit at the end of the article:
Last Thursday, 90 leaders from the US met Rosenberg for an emergency meeting and urged him to proceed with disciplinary action against the 36 signatories.
So I guess this is another case of our institutions capitulating to the US. This shit sucks.
This is the sequel to last weeks Members of British Jewish body condemn Israel’s Gaza offensive
