to Items concerning the Board
of Deputies of British Jews and
their activities against Free Speech in Britain THE
SINISTER ADVICE OF AN ANONYMOUS
expert of the League
of Human Rights of the B’nai Brith
Canada,
writing after the 1996 "Goebbels"
débâcle,
after analysing why David Irving's works
were so plausible, and hence dangerous: "It is
all the more clear why his activities must be
curtailed, and why his alleged legitimacy must be
eradicated." |

The
Board of Deputies was established in
1760 as a voluntary association of synagogue
representatives; its constitution dates from 1835.
Its full name for statutory purposes is "The
London Committee of Deputies of the British
Jews". Its 350 members are elected from 200
synagogues and forty Jewish organisations in the
U.K. The Board lists its terms of reference and
objects as follows. The Board shall 
"Protect, support and defend the interests,
religious rights, and culture of Jews and the
Jewish community."
"Defend and ensure the security, safety, well being
and standing of British Jews in cooperation with
the statutory authorities and relevant
parties."
"Take such appropriate action as lies within its
power to advance Israel's security, welfare and
standing."
"Support and seek to protect Jews and Jewish
communities outside the U.K."
"Initiate, undertake and coordinate research into
matters affecting the Jewish community." |
