Samual Hayek said in Jerusalem Post<\/a> \u201cJews have no future in England\u201d[i]<\/a>. When questioned by Jewish News<\/a> he said \u201cThe evidence is the number of immigrants to England. The demographic of British society is changing.\u201d And \u201cOur problem in the West is that we do not understand Islam. In Islam there is not a term for \u2018peace\u2019.[ii]<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n These right wing ideas that there is an alien group with a different religion and different agenda that is taking over the existing society are not new. \u00a0Last time the target was the Jews, this time, according to Mr Hayek, the threat is the Muslims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr Hayek is the Chairman of the Jewish National Fund.\u00a0 Jewish organisations and individuals have strongly objected<\/a> \u00a0to his comments. \u201cMore than 40 members of the Board of Deputies have called for the resignation of JNF UK chairman Samuel Hayek<\/p>\n\n\n\n Representatives of Reform, Liberal, United and Masorti communities, plus the Union of Jewish Students, also said they would advise their organisations to have nothing to do with the charity until Mr Hayek relinquishes office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .. \u201cIf we have come to expect zero tolerance of antisemitism, we must show zero tolerance of racism and islamophobia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another leader of the Jewish National Fund is its treasurer, Gary Mond. \u00a0He wrote on Facebook \u201call civilization\u201d is \u201cat war with Islam\u201d[iii]<\/a>.\u00a0 He has now resigned<\/a> from his post as vice president of the Board of Deputies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKey people at the Board have made it clear that they no longer wish to work with me, which effectively forces my decision,\u201d Mond announced in his resignation statement.[iv]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The lack of any comment from the JNF against Hayek has led to a petition<\/a> among Jewish students to boycott the JNF[v]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Jewish National Fund UK is a registered British Charity.\u00a0 All British charities must be for the public good.\u00a0 The Charity Commission has launched a regulatory case<\/a> into the\u00a0 JNF[vi]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The attacks on Hayek and Mond are to be welcomed. The growth of right wing conspiracy theories is a threat to Muslims, Jews and all other minorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Stop the JNF campaign have long campaigned about the policies of the JNF.\u00a0 It has pointed out its racism and complicity in ethnic cleansing.\u00a0 Here are two current issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On 9th<\/sup> January 2022 Peace Now <\/a>reported that the Israeli Attorney General has ruled that there is no obstacle to the eviction of the Sumarin family from their home in East Jerusalem.\u00a0 The eviction is being driven by the JNF.[vii]<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the 18th<\/sup> January Israeli police arrested 41 Arabs in the Negev.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Local Arabs demonstrated<\/a> in the Negev in recent days in protest of the confiscation of their lands by the Jewish National Fund, an organization that collects money from Jews around the world to seize Palestinian property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We welcome the Charity Commission\u2019s investigation into the racism of the leadership of the racist Jewish National Fund. We hope that truth will prevail against its traditional dishonest defence of the JNF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [i]<\/a> https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/diaspora\/antisemitism\/jews-do-not-have-a-future-in-england-687711<\/a> and https:\/\/www.jewishnews.co.uk\/charity-chiefs-migrant-warning-sparks-communal-outrage\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n [ii]<\/a> https:\/\/www.thejc.com\/news\/community\/calls-for-jnf-uk-chair-samuel-hayek-to-quit-over-islamophobic-comments-3sYf4VyyJUF69EyxnqIzut<\/p>\n\n\n\n [iii]<\/a> https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/british-jewish-leader-resigns-following-comments-about-war-with-islam\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n [iv]<\/a> https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/british-jewish-leader-resigns-following-comments-about-war-with-islam\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n [v]<\/a> https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/16jXsSMqiLq5shEd1UfkLrO_Be4rjOm5Wv2cYpxT1NU0\/viewform?edit_requested=true<\/p>\n\n\n\n [vi]<\/a> https:\/\/www.jewishnews.co.uk\/charity-commission-is-investigating-jnf-uk-after-comments-by-chair\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n [vii]<\/a> https:\/\/peacenow.org.il\/en\/the-attorney-general-supports-the-eviction-of-the-sumarin-family-from-silwan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Samual Hayek said in Jerusalem Post \u201cJews have no future in England\u201d[i].
