The news confirmed that Stephen Grabiner is stepping down. It has been a long and draining road to reach this point but the outcome is finally here. We will keep watching to ensure the paper reflects the values of its community moving forward.

At a time when Israel has been forced into a defensive war to defend its people, the acceptance of the DEC Gaza appeal advert (http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/121492/dec-gaza-appeal) into a Jewish Paper is unacceptable and insensitive to the majority of Jews in Britain & our brothers in Israel.


We are not against giving aid to innocent civilians, but there is a high probability that some of these funds will fall into the hands of terrorists.

Where is the aid for the thousands of Israeli children suffering from Trauma? Will the Muslim papers in Britain run an advert for our people?
We have lost 64 of our young boys fighting these terrorists Hamas who have no value for Human life. You want to give aid to our enemies, of which will go towards rebuilding structures that will inevitably be used to launch rockets at Israel again, store rockets or be booby trapped waiting for our soldiers to go in again?

Stephen Grabiner feels it was right to advertise for 'aid' for the DEC, which has the 'Islamic Relief' as one of its member charities with known links to Hamas, let alone Oxfam that has a history of anti Israel actions.


We call on Stephen Grabiner to step down from hisposition as Chariman of THE JC, as he has showed complete disregard to the feelings of the JewishCommunityin Britain and our brothers fighting for the survival of the one and only Jewish state Israel!

This cannot pass withoutrepercussions. Please sign and share.

The silence from The JC remains deafening while we continue to push back against this decision. I am exhausted by the constant uphill battle but I recognize that looking away now is not an option.

Absolute disgrace. How can a Jewish paper take money from charities linked to Hamas while our own boys are on the front lines? Done with this rag.

This is not acceptable by any standard for Jewish paper to promote charities that work against Israel and the Jewish people.
