To begin with, Robinson's claim that the Board of Deputies of British Jews does not represent British Jewry is simply untrue. Established in 1760, the Board is the oldest and most legitimate representative body of the Jewish community in the UK. It functions in a democratic and representative framework, with periodic elections for delegates from across the community – including synagogues, Jewish organizations, and communal groups. Anyone attempting to divide the community into "good Jews" and "bad Jews" is not a friend in any meaningful sense. Suggesting that a so-called Jewish elite is acting out of foreign interests veers dangerously close to antisemitic conspiracy theories. This isn't the first time he's made such insinuations.I think the 2nd paragraph is particularly telling where this is going. This disgrace of a writer is one of many phony advocates for the Jewish community who's made a Faustian pact with the Religion of Peace, and the way he goes about lecturing about 2-state solution support speaks volumes. One can only wonder if he ever campaigned for the sake of the victims of the Rotherham rape scandal in the past decade. Let's be clear here. If the Board of Deputies sides with the Religion of Peace even when Islamofascists commit violent crimes against Jewish residents, that's wrong and definitely risky. How do they expect to solve a problem if they won't confront the content of the koran, if at all?
Second, advocating for a two-state solution is not "cowardice," as Robinson suggests. Surveys among British Jews, and the broader British public, consistently show broad support for a two-state solution. While one can certainly disagree with the political stance or criticize the Starmer government's recent decision to recognize a Palestinian state, the two-state solution remains a widely accepted position both in Israel and globally, even if it's currently unpopular within Israel itself. Robinson's attack on this position reveals either ignorance or dishonesty. It also conveniently provides another reason for him to lash out at the UK government and Jewish leadership. It's important not to be fooled when the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is exploited to fuel his personal crusade against Islam.
What Mr. Goldman certainly doesn't admit here is that there's a difference between leftists and rightists, and if the Board of Deputies is vastly represented by the former, that's a serious problem. Some Jewish UK citizens left the country because of encroaching sharia and what it's led to, and I guess their departure from Britain doesn't count. Nor does it matter to this man if many Jewish Americans are sold out on leftist ideologies, and I hesitate to think what he must think of LGBT ideology and all the damage it's surely done even to the Jewish community. Interesting how he makes such a bizarre contradictory statement about what residents of Israel proper think of 2-state solution propaganda, after all the damage it's done over the years, because now, over 70 percent oppose it. And this Mr. Goldman shamefully lectures us about Robinson by extension? For shame.
Mr. Goldman is decidedly just another left-wing lackey and minion, and if he sees nothing wrong with the verses written in the koran, that says all you need to know about what's wrong with his shoddy conduct.
