Jonathan Arkush

Christian principles sacrificed in Bishop’s anxiety not to offend a pro-Israel hardcore

 

As for the bishop, newly minted and still shiny from promotion, one wonders if he has ever visited the Holy Land to see, feel and smell the cruel stench of the occupation up close and personal. To his credit, however, his Lent appeal goes to support the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza. Academics say sending children to the Naughty Corner breaches their human rights. Isn’t it the same for priests?

Some not amused by Palestinian flag projected onto Parliament building

“Offensive to the British public”? Is Mr Arkush now speaking for all of us? The Palestinian flag projected onto the Houses of Parliament is absolute fine with me. What I find “offensive” is the large number of Israel flag-wavers that stalk the corridors inside.

Of course, it wasn’t going to be long before the Board of Deputies of British Jews (BoD) stuck their oar into the Methodists’ big debate on BDS (Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions) against Israel http://www.methodist.org.uk/bdsbriefing, which included a public consultation questionnaire.
