Corbyn criticism
JEREMY CORBYN has criticised Jewish commentator
Jonathan Freedland for an
article of disgusting subliminal nastiness after the
Guardian writer said Labour
had a problem with antiSemitism under his leadership.
In a Vice News documentary, Corbyn tells Labour head
of strategy Seamus Milne, another former Guardian journalist: He (Freedland) is not a
good guy. He seems kind of
obsessed with me.
Freedland wrote of Corbyn:
Many Jews worry that his
past instinct, when faced with
potential allies whom he
deemed sound on Palestine,
was to overlook whatever
nastiness they might have uttered about Jews.
Netanyahu case
A FORMER employee of Benjamin Netanyahus wife has
won a court case against her
alleging mistreatment, according to reports.
The verdict is a new setback
for Sara Netanyahu, who has
been repeatedly accused of
abusive behaviour towards
household staff.
Reports in Israel said
Jerusalems labour court
awarded Guy Eliyahu $30,000
in damages after he claimed
Mrs Netanyahu had behaved
abusively.
Police reportedly recommended indicting Mrs Netanyahu for allegedly misusing
state funds and excessive
household spending.

Its unprecedented, said union member Ronnie Fraser of Academic Friends of

Bradford West MP Naz Shah was suspended after calling for Israels relocation
MYERSON QC
I QUESTIONED Naz Shah on Sunday night at the
communal meeting in Leeds. I was impressed
with the audiences behaviour she had, after
all, said anti-Semitic things and, although the
questions were tough, they were almost unanimously polite and people listened to her.
I dont think shes an anti-Semite and that
was the view of the vast majority. She was too
willing to engage and apologise, and she has
so little to gain. Check her Twitter feed for the
accusations of selling out. Shes critical of the
Israeli government but not of Israels existence
or right to defend itself. That isnt indiscriminate she hated Gaza but it is nuanced she
equally condemned Hamas and Hezbollah.
Anti-Semitism isnt at the top or her list of
priorities Bradford has myriad problems, not
least having been previously represented by
George Galloway. But she is committed to educating her community and herself.
She defended the Chakrabarti report and suggested Corbyn no longer regards Hamas as
friends. She said Labour prevented her publishing her apology instantly and put its own
house in order first, and that Corbyn is surrounded by a poor team. If the Labour leader
behaved like her, wed have less to worry about.

WHERE WOULD WE
BE WITHOUT ISRAEL?
My husband and I visit Israel frequently,
not as tourists but with our family, seeing
daily life in the shops, hospitals and public institutions. I therefore feel qualified
to write about the current daily situation
faced by our people there.
The focus is often on the plight of the
Palestinians, overlooking the many difficulties faced also by Israelis during a particularly worrying time with fear of
terrorist and other attacks.
There is much inaccurate and unjust reporting and criticism leveled at Israel. Its
detractors and the world at large must
understand that Israels response, albeit
restrained, must take into consideration
situations that are a matter of life or
death. Walls can be taken down, but a
lost life cannot be resurrected except by
the Almighty in messianic times.
Yet many of the measures Israel takes
simply to protect its citizens are branded
as an invasion of privacy or inconvenient
to the smooth running of Palestinian
lives.
All over the country, Israeli lives are
threatened on a daily basis. Our innocent
citizens and soldiers are victims of terrorists who have no regard whatsoever for
the value of life.
Even ambulances drivers, whose sole
mission is to save lives, have their very
own lives under threat.
Terrorists whose lives have been saved
by Israeli medical teams show their gratitude by reverting to their evil activities.
What a way to reward a good deed.
Before critics of Israel give voice, at the
very least visit or, better still, experience
CHAKRABARTI SHOULD
STEP DOWN NOW
Labours anti-Semtism inquiry chair Shami
Chakrabarti would be outraged by the
police or the military, say, conducting an
internal investigation by one of their own.
Yet she plans to do just that herself by
joining the political party into which she
is about to launch a probe.
Anti-Semitism is not simply racism.
Jews come in all shades of white, brown
and black. There are European, Indian
and African Jews.
Anti-Semitism is the oldest religious
bigotry and has nothing to do with the
colour of ones skin or country of origin.
To subsume this intended probe into
anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, coming
almost exclusively from the ranks of the far
left, into a wider look at racism is a sign
WE SHOULD BE PROUD
OF OUR MISCELLANY
I must be one of many who feel sad and
annoyed to read letters such as those by
Dr L B Sokolic (Jewish News, 5 May) and
the many previously from regular writer
Martin Stern.
I was brought up during and after the
Second World War in an Orthodox Jewish family (my rabbi and Hebrew teacher
was Dr Julian Jakobovits, father of Immanuel, and my own father was chairman
of our synagogue).
Long ago, however, I found my true
home in Liberal Judaism. There, as well
as being appreciative of my heritage, I
have total equality. I can also be questioning, critical and enquiring.
Dr Sokolic must know that Judaism has
constantly evolved and adapted and
there has always been a variety of viewpoints, ritual and practice.
We should be proud that today our
community encompasses views from secular and cultural to ultra-Orthodox, but
we are still all one people.
Furthermore, as we all know, the current issue of anti-Semitism does not differentiate between those groups, nor, as
is often remarked, did Hitler.
Dr Sokolic is concerned that many
Liberal Jews are not halachically Jewish.
It is true that we are welcoming to those
who wish to convert to Judaism, but as
the old saying goes: Anyone who
wishes to become Jewish must be
meshuggah, and if they are meshuggah
they must be Jewish.
It is fortunate that it was Moses, and
not Dr Sokolic, who was in charge of
leading the Israelites out of Egypt since,
if he were scrutinising backgrounds,
there would have been considerably
fewer than the 600,000 men (plus dependants) referred to in Exodus approved by
him to lead us to the Promised Land.

Oh, sure, he pays lip service to opposing antiSemitism and those writing about him feel
obliged to repeat the mantra that he doesnt have
an anti-Semitic bone in his body. Personally I feel
no such obligation; Id feel a lot more in tune with
Mr Corbyn if he and his team had the courtesy to
respond to the invitation of the Israeli Labour
leader, Isaac Herzog, for him to visit Yad Vashem.
I dont know why anyone is surprised that the
Corbynistas didn't respond. The entire team
comes from the school of if-we-dont answer-itmight-go-away-la-la-la and I am perfectly certain that they hoped that everyone had forgotten
the invitation, or that if they crossed their fingers
behind Corbyns back it wouldnt count.
Similarly, what are we to make of the reinstatement of Jackie Walker, vice-chair of the
Corbyn-supporting Momentum group, only
weeks after being suspended from the Labour
Party for Facebook comments relating to Jews
as chief financiers of the slave trade?
No explanation at the time of writing has
been given for Walkers reinstatement and it
makes one tremble for the outcome of the already
controversial Shami Chakrabarti inquiry. No one
will be less shocked than me if the whole wretched
ragtaggle of suspendees, from Ken Livingstone to
the bilious Tony Greenstein, are reinstated.
Ironically, the one person who appears to get
the gnawing anxiety between the Jewish community and the Labour Party is the woman who kicked

Above: Rescue workers taking care of a dog amid the rubble left by a bombing raid on Britain during the Second World War; left, author
Miriam Halahmy included the experiences of a Kindertransport child in her book
According to accounts at
the time, when the all-clear
sounded people literally picked
up their pets and set off for the
vet to have them put down, Halahmy explains.
There were queues down the
streets up to half a mile long. It is an astonishing fact of that first morning of war.
I very much enjoy this kind of research, winkling out each tiny fact which can really help to
bring the period alive.
I ask Halahmy, who has recently become a
grandmother, how she managed to translate the
terrible episode into a story for children without
terrifying them (the book is aimed at readers
aged from eight).
She tells me: My book asks the question:
When the war comes, who will save the animals?
This is the cover strapline and I think that, in this
way, although there are some difficult scenes in
the book, the story will be seen by the children as
positive; a call to action and an example of how
ordinary people can do extraordinary things when
faced with a dilemma.
The killing of pets went on for a week, during
which an estimated 750,000 of them mainly cats
and dogs were put down. Many other animals
were destroyed too, including pet monkeys,
caged birds and all the poisonous animals housed
in London Zoo.
Halahmy found out that the government circulated a pamphlet and announced on the radio
that pets would not be allowed in public shelters.
The pamphlet read: If you cannot place them in
the care of neighbours, it is really kindest to have
them destroyed.
It was believed that pets could not be fed
once rationing started and they wouldnt cope
with gas and bomb attacks. But the public came
to their senses at the end of that week and the

he sun was shining, the scenery superb and, even though the Jews
were being blamed yet again, it
could not possibly spoil our good mood
as we stood in the pretty town of Narbonne, southern France.
You see, our tour guide was taking us
back some 700 years and explaining
how the Jews were accused of poisoning
the water in the river and causing the infamous Black Death, no less.
If you thought the conspiracy theorists
who claimed Princess Diana was
bumped off had lost the plot, that was
nothing compared to the nonsense
being spouted back in 1348.
But I've heard dozens of stories of
anti-Semitism during my travels around
Europe, so this was nothing new.
What was different about this trip was
my mode of transport. Normally I do my
exploring via those big cruise lines. I'm
an avid seafarer with more than 25 voyages behind me.
However, on this occasion my wife
and I had abandoned ship and were
travelling by barge along the pretty
Canal du Midi.
faultless but there are lots of other voyages to choose as European Waterways
boasts 18 barges and covers a large expanse of the continent.
The Canal du Midi was first opened
in 1681, so todays explorers are really
stepping back in time as they venture
along with spectacular towns and villages a stones throw away.
You are even able to tell your guide
if you fancy, say, 15 more minutes at a
particular location or perhaps a quick
stroll around a local market that was not
on the original itinerary.
Those more familiar regimented
coach excursions with 40 other guests
will be a massive struggle for me now
after this treat.
From start to finish, whether on the
barge or on land, nothing was too much
trouble. I make no apologies for the
clich in that Mrs Silver and I really felt
part of a family.
We had avoided busy airports and allowed the train to take the strain ahead
of this six-night delight. Our meeting
point of Narbonne was a fine start and
full of interest, led by its most impressive sight , the former cathedral, where
work began in 1272.
The building was never completed
because the Jews, who were lending the
money for the work, were expelled. No
doubt many blamed them for that too!
We returned to this town with tour
guide Matthew during the week to
enjoy its colourful indoor market, from
where our guide collected an order of
the freshest fish arranged by chef to
be cooked for lunch that day and it was
indeed delicious.
Life on board is as relaxing as can be
and you cruise along at less than a couple of miles an hour, enjoying the
peaceful surroundings, chatting to others on board and feasting on Sylvain's
magnificent creations.

REBBETZENS FROM across the Commonwealth
were last week brought together for an intensive,
36-hour leadership training programme in Gibraltar
that focused on the complementary but crucial
communal role we play in contrast to that of our
husbands no less important, but with its own set
of unique challenges. The programme was devised
by Valerie Mirvis, wife of Chief Rabbi Ephraim
Mirvis, together with Rachel Shababo, director of
the Chief Rabbis Centre for Rabbinic Excellence.
After spending a few hours exploring this old
English colony, the highlight of our trip awaited.
We were charmed by the articulate and multitalented Levy Attias, who spoke with sensitivity
about interfaith dialogue and the work he has
been doing for decades in bridging the gap between the diverse faiths in Gibraltar.
We were also introduced to Alice Mascarenhas, deputy editor of the Gibraltar Chronicle,
and Puisne Judge Karen Prescott of the Gibraltarian Supreme Court, two inspirational professional women, who sat together with Valerie to
discuss the challenges leadership affords.
They spoke of responsibility, bravery and determination qualities that our rebbetzens have
in spades but it was imperative that we hear it
directly from women who, through struggles of
their own, held fast to their values.

Dear Judy
Thank you for being in touch and I hope you will in fact have
a smooth pregnancy. Women can experience a broad range
of physical symptoms throughout pregnancy and it is reasonable to follow up concerns at any stage. An example:
many women experience some spotting or very light bleeding during pregnancy. Bleeding should always be investigated. There are several options through which one can do
this; the first is your GP or midwife. Another option is to
contact an Early Pregnancy Unit. Your local hospital may or
may not have such a unit and some units accept walk-in patients who have self-referred.

Dear Sue
I frequently hear strange hissing in my head and ears. My wife
says she cant hear it. Its driving me mad! Im worrying, not
sleeping and feel desperate.
Eddie
Dear Eddie
You may have a common condition known as tinnitus. People
describe the sounds as hissing, buzzing, shrieking, throbbing,
ringing and at varying high or low pitches.
Try not to worry experiencing it can feel maddening, but its
usually harmless.
Tinnitus can be triggered by ear infections, hearing loss, exposure to loud sounds, medication and stress. So the first thing
you must do is to visit your GP who will arrange a scan, the results of which should reassure you that there is nothing more
sinister going on.
Although there is no cure for tinnitus, we can help you to cope
with it. The key is to become less aware of its symptoms, which
will reduce your distress.
Book a tinnitus retraining session with our hearing therapist.
You will receive free advice, tips on how to manage practically
and emotionally and try out equipment to distract and ease
your mind. Tinnitus can really get you down but people say
retraining does help them to cope.
The London Tinnitus Support Group gives support and exchanges tips and ideas. It next meets on Monday 20 June and
Monday 19 September from 6.30-8pm at JDA.
If youd like to talk, please call Gabrielle on 020 8446 0214.

Dear Nathalie
A MiFi device is definitely something you should consider and
can be either purchased or rented the right option depends
on your personal situation.
MiFi devices are available SIM-free, which will be an advantage
if you travel to multiple countries as you can purchase a SIM
card in the local country and top it up with data.
Positives: you own the MiFi device and you can use it in any
country, including the UK. Negatives: this option is more expensive initially and you will need to find a mobile store in the
country you are travelling to in order to top up the data.
The second option is to rent the MiFi device. Positives: low initial cost and the dealership takes care of everything. Negatives: you do not own the device, so you are responsible for
making sure nothing happens to it.
RCUK branches in London and Manchester are able to provide both these services and will also assist you by looking at
your current mobile tariff and discussing the countries you are
planning to visit.
The reason for this is there may be other, more relevant options that you should consider, so please do contact us for
more information on 020 8815 4111.

Redbridge warm up
for cup final in style
Andrew
SHERWOOD
Raiders dynamic
duo call it a day
THEY SAY all good things come to an end, and thats certainly the
case after Rob Richman and Jonathan Green announced they were
stepping down from their roles as joint-managers of North London
Raiders A. Double-double winners, theyve produced a side which
has simply been untouchable over the past couple of seasons. Former Real Sosobad manager Daniel Shafron, who was recently
turned down for the Chelsea post seriously will have the unenviable task of stepping into their footsteps. With David Garbacz
similarly relinquishing his role at Hendon, and with possible other
managerial movements in the offering, next seasons Premier Division could have a very different look and feel to it.
SPEAKING OF Raiders and bringing the curtain down, their Masters
side take part in the final game of the Jewish football season on
Sunday when they take on Redbridge B in the final of the MGBSFL/Masters Invitational Cup. Dan Levys looking to end the season
with some silverware, having been left disappointed with his side
not retaining their title, while Redbridge warmed up for the game
in ominous style by emphatically beating FC Team B and denying
them runners-up spot in Division One. The final act of the 2015/16
season gets underway at Silver Jubilee Park at 10am.
IT IS INDEED a sad day in sport when politics intervenes and sees
an international wheelchair tennis team refuse to compete against
an Israeli one. Reportedly pressured by their local Olympic Committee, Moroccos team failed to turn up for their match against Israel. The sad state of affairs was best summed up by Boaz Kramer,
CEO of the Israel Sport Center for the Disabled, who said: Wheelchair tennis was contaminated today by politics, and we, players
and teams, should make a clear stand and make sure it stays ONLY
about the amazing virtues of wheelchair sports.
REDBRIDGE B player-manager
Sam Rank believes his side
proved a point after defeating FC
Team B 4-1 to deny them runnersup spot in Division One.
Dean Ben Yosefs double, coupled with strikes from Brad Gayer
and Joe Jordan saw them to the
win, though Rank was just as delighted with the statement his
side made on the pitch. He said:
We proved a very big point
today that football games
should only be played on a football pitch and not in the classroom.
They tried their very best to
get the replayed game awarded
to them without even playing the
game, which I know caused the
League committee additional
and unwanted stress.
The build-up to the game was
very heated with a lot of interesting comments made. However,
on the football pitch, there was
only going to be one winner. We
conducted our game plan brilliantly, were switched on from the
first minute and dominated
throughout. I hope they will learn
from this they cant beat us on
the pitch.
Looking ahead to this weekends MGBSFL/Masters Invitational Cup Final against North
London Raiders Masters, he said:
This performance was a brilliant
way to prepare for it and also
gives me a selection headache for
next week, with 16 great players
to choose from, but a selection
headache I will enjoy.
The boys have been brilliant
since I have taken over, and a
pleasure to work with. I really
hope we can finish the season
with silverware, as the boys deserve it so much.
Teams player-manager Mitch
Young scored their consolation
goal, and said: We were severely
understrengthed today and the
performance was very much of an
