JONATHAN HOFFMAN ON THE PRINCE’S SPEECH…THE MISSING “I” WORD
http://www.thejc.com/blogs/jonathan-hoffman/charles-speech-the-mystery-of-the-missing-i-word
Over 2000 words about 250 years of history of British Jewry and he didn’t mention the word ‘ISRAEL’ once!
“Moses Montefiore”; “Jerusalem”; “Holocaust victims”; “Kindertransport” … but not one mention of Israel and what that represents for Jews in the diaspora and could have represented for those who died in the Holocaust. Not one mention of the key role that was played by British Jews and the British Government in the founding of the State of Israel, for example through the Balfour Declaration.
No mention of Chaim Weizmann who spent much of his life in the UK
No mention that one of the Board’s nine objectives is to “take such appropriate action as lies within its power to advance Israel’s security, welfare, and standing”
Not a word
It’s like Hamlet without the Prince …
Or the Emperor Who Wore No Clothes …
Did anyone who went to the Dinner actually notice?
Did Charles notice?
