JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: A SINGLE RABBI'S EXTREME CLAIM THAT BREXIT FROM EU COULD ULTIMATELY UNLEASH ANTI-SEMITIC FORCES THROUGHOUT EUROPE AND THE EXODUS OF ALL JEWISH CITIZENS TREATED AS NEWSWORTHY BY BRITAIN'S INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT


Brexit could unleash anti-Semitic forces throughout Europe that would cause Europe’s Jews to leave

This has to be the most meaningless article you've published.

One rabbi, whether "top" or not, voices a personal view, and you give it a huge play as though it were something authoritative?

Irresponsible, actually.

I might ask the rabbi where all the Jews would go?

Israel? Utterly unrealistic. God, what an unstable place, and one with a much lower standard of living and an uncertain future.

Where could they possibly find the lives and business opportunities of Europe?

They could not.

This is a silly piece of scaremongering.
