You are saying that it is most important (beyond anything else) for the election of a representative of one sovereign nation (Britain) to be purely on the basis of support for another sovereign nation (Israel).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20825354.post-2904717010489409712010-04-13T20:28:54.861+03:002010-04-13T20:28:54.861+03:00Richard,
Firstly, you've misquoted the Chief ...Richard,<br /><br />Firstly, you've misquoted the Chief Rabbi of Poland rather badly. I don't want to indulge in a silly argument, so I urge any readers of this comment to read the following article in the JC.<br /><br />http://www.thejc.com/news/world-news/21411/chief-rabbi-poland-kaminskis-no-antisemite<br /><br />I'll be quite happy to let your readers make up their own mind. <br /><br />As to the voters of Mill Hill wanting to know my position on many things. Most of them know my position on most things already from my blog. I suspect it's fair to say they know more about my views than just about any council candidate in the UK - www.barneteye.blogspot.com - however as you asked my position on Israel (and I'm sure you know this already). I believe Israel to be a democratic country and the majority of the citizens of that country to have voted for parties committed to maintaining a Jewish state. As I support the concept of democracy, I support the continuation of Israel as a Jewish state.<br /><br />I happen to believe that if a country is a genuine democracy, then it is an issue for the people who live there. I don't think that the makeup of the state is an issue for me, Nick Clegg or any other outsiders. <br /><br />I must say I was rather disappointed with your analysis of why Matthew Offord would make a good MP. You don't make any mention of the fact he might actually be a good MP for the Jewish people who live in Hendon or that he has a track record of doing a good job. Do you think Matthew Harris (who is Jewish) or Andrew Dismore are any less supportive of Jewish issues? Can you actually provide any evidence of this bias? <br /><br />I'm afraid that your analysis is rather biased towards Offord, without a sound intellectual argument as to why.<br /><br />I would urge Jewish Voters in Hendon to support Lib Dem Matthew Harris for the following reasons :-<br /><br />a) He's Jewish and so fully understands the issues and challenges the Jewish Community face. Furthermore he's on record as being a vociferous advocate of Jewish issues<br /><br />b) Matthew Harris would be an excellent choice as a Lib Dem spokesman on Israel as he is intelligent, articulate and informed. Becoming MP would strengthen the Jewish lobby within the Lib Dems.<br /><br />c) Matthew Harris would make an excellent constituency MP and work hard for Jewish voters.<br /><br />d) As Matthew Harris is an excellent candidate, he would be a great example and a role model for aspiring Jewish politicians in the UK.<br /><br />e) He is quite clearly up to the job.Rog Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139705078907584931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20825354.post-65571617198526217942010-04-12T13:29:47.769+03:002010-04-12T13:29:47.769+03:00Roger

Do you agree with Nick Clegg that Israel should not be a Jewish state? The people of Mill Hill should know.Richard Weidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20825354.post-13454848397026745372010-04-12T12:14:30.879+03:002010-04-12T12:14:30.879+03:00Richard,
What is your view of the Tories forming ...Richard,<br /><br />What is your view of the Tories forming an alliance in the European Parliament with far right groups, which contain holocaust deniers, anti semites. Some of them have even laid flowers at SS wargraves and memorials.<br /><br />The decision to form this alliance was made by David Cameron. I am unaware of any opposition to this by Matthew Offord or any other Barnet Tories.Rog Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139705078907584931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20825354.post-50527808753486754422010-04-12T09:42:47.913+03:002010-04-12T09:42:47.913+03:00Your post is clear and transparent.
