There is enough anti-Israel content in the main paper to worry about. The dry-bones cartoon on your web page - about JStreet and the New Israel Fund - hits the nail on the head; and of course the JC continues to refer to both organisations as "pro-Israel" even referring to JStreet as a pro-Israel lobby group, when it is exactly the opposite.Mark Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634542433903164227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-81943802936296881882010-12-28T16:06:51.175+00:002010-12-28T16:06:51.175+00:00I created JCWatch in March 2010 to combat anti-Isr...I created JCWatch in March 2010 to combat anti-Israeli sentiments in the Jewish Chronicle. I've had a few successes, but obviously not enough. <br /><br />On 25 December (last Shabbat) a resident anti-semite who signs his name "clevenson" wrote: "I am going to burn the Israeli flag" and "Israel is hated as you will find out on Monday".<br /><br />On Saturday night JCWatch published a headline that was very insulting indeed to JC Editor Pollard. By Sunday noon, clevenson's remarks had been deleted.<br /><br />Unfortunately, it's the only language Pollard understands.<br /><br />Please keep up your good work. Slowly, it produces results.<br /><br />Avraham Reiss - Jerusalem<br />http://jcwatch.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-84277526549231252552010-12-26T14:16:25.879+00:002010-12-26T14:16:25.879+00:00Michelle said:

As if such views are given no space anywhere else. It's a bit like buying a Spurs calandar and finding 4 of the 12 pictures of Arsenal players 'in order to provide balance'.Mark Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634542433903164227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-60765596393311509372010-12-24T21:18:04.773+00:002010-12-24T21:18:04.773+00:00Thanks Edgar and Daphne for highlighting the rubbi...Thanks Edgar and Daphne for highlighting the rubbish that calls itself the JC and the links it has with the NIF. <br />This newspaper really is responsible for dumbing down British Jews. <br />It started long before Pollard took over, and always finds space for the Israel haters. They justify this by claiming to be neutral and giving space to all views.<br />As the internet takes over from hardprint as a news source, they are becoming merely a directory for kosher caterers, wedding bands and other simcha businesses.Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-89853641171161120342010-12-24T09:09:05.957+00:002010-12-24T09:09:05.957+00:00Great post, as usual, Edgar - your blog is a real ...Great post, as usual, Edgar - your blog is a real gem.<br />I have it in mind that Saphir might be chairman of trustees of the Kessler Foundation, but I've failed to confirm this hunch.<br />Here's a JC interview with him a few years ago:<br />http://archive.thejc.com/search/reml.jsp?etaf=8041-1292502548103Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.com
