Britain's timid Jews

Isi Leibler has written a fierce denunciation in the Jerusalem Post of Britain’s Jewish community leadership for their supine and craven response to the way Britain’s political and intellectual class is throwing Israel ever more brazenly under the bus. I agree with all that he says. However, I fear that his hope that British Jews get rid of these leaders and replace them by individuals who are prepared to mount a proper defence of Israel in the face of this verbal pogrom is tragically unrealisable.

Perhaps they are like America’s Jews, whose attachment to the ideology of socialism has displaced their attachment to their fellow Jews in Israel?

It was my understanding that Jews tend to vote Tory.
