Conflation' of Jewishness/Judaism with 'Israel

Category: Palestine/Israel

Let Mr Carter ponder on these specks of Palestinian suffering.  Racist?  Cruel beyond imagining?  Without feelings of guilt?

Just the last three of several hundred acts that I have sifted out of thousands and thousands.

And read this speck Mr Carter

Dear David Halpin,

I recently read the following email/article/opinion piece on your website. It is not entirely clear, but am I right to assume that it was written by you?

http://dhalpin.infoaction.org.uk/6-articles/palestineisrael/213-conflation-of-jewishness-judaism-with-israel

I have to say, I read it with some shock and concern. In it, the author states that:

“It is utterly inappropriate for any discussion about anti-Jewishness to be guided by any Israeli organ.  There are many reasons.  For instance, it is a deeply racist entity.”

Israel is the place from which Judaism originates and where half of the world’s Jewish population lives. Since its establishment it has been the one country that offers persecuted Jews from around the world unconditional safe haven. It is the religious and cultural heart of Judaism.

In addition to this, the UK recently adopted the International Definition of Anti-Semitism. As a part of that definition, it makes clear that it is anti-Semitic to deny the Jewish people their right to self-determination – for example by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour or, indeed, a “deeply racist entity”.

Further, I am really not sure what this passage means:

“http://antisemitism.org.uk/parliament/members-biogs/ Look at the membership.  Phillipa Whitford  Keir Starmer and others on the 'Labour' right - what motivates them?  Certainly not humanity nor logic.”

Can I please ask, what is it that you thinks motivates them? It feels as if you are making deeply uncomfortable suggestions without any evidence to support your claims.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Denis

This to Mr Mann MP and Zionists 4-06-16.  No reply so far and one not likely either.  I have no voice - unlike them.

Title    'Conflation' of Jewishness/Judaism with 'Israel'    (version to Mann edited)

Sent to the "Parliamentary Committee Against Anti-Semitism" Chairman Mr John Mann
A friend sent me a tweet  "Today MPs join the Knesset Committee on Diaspora Affairs to discuss British parliamentary efforts to address antisemitism & hate crime"  4th January.

It is utterly inappropriate for any discussion about anti-Jewishness to be guided by any Israeli organ.  There are many reasons.  For instance, it is a deeply racist entity.  Lethal actions by it are frequent.  (I have experienced that intent twice personally.)  There are  over 400 children imprisoned there, and many are tortured.  Denial of water.  Robbery of land etc etc.

Dear Nick and colleagues,

Now in my 76th year and unable to stand by whilst people suffer - as you know. In the attached letter, there are two links to important broadcasts. The second attachment is written by Dr Sarah Wollaston MP. We need quietness, thought and logic in our sacred calling, not thoughtless upheaval. Sacred in a philosophical sense.

For truth and with best wishes

INTO THE FUTURE: Re-shaping community based health services

Formal titles -“INTO THE FUTURE Re-shaping community based health services”

'Driving quality, delivering value, improving services'

In fact – closing four Community Hospitals (CHs), including Ashburton/Buckfastleigh and substituting 'Care at Home'

The consultation extended from 1st of September 2016 to 23rd of November

21 December 2016

PREAMBLE

This briefing paper has been written in the event of the committee of the League of Friends of the Ashburton and Buckfastleigh Community Hospital (A&BL LoF) deciding that an application should be sought for a Judicial Review about elements of the consultation conducted by the South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group (SD&T CCG)

I made detailed responses to the 'consultation' 21st November but 'interacted' with the CCG many times before. The document provides useful context and contains two, or possibly three elements which a barrister might consider justiciable. (1)

The SD&T CCG, like all others, was set up by the Health and Social Care Act of 1st April 2012. It was charged with commissioning medical services and, presumably, in pursuing efficiency, economy and safety in those services. The South Devon Care Trust, which had direct reponsibility for the Community Hospitals, launched the first consultation on the proposal to close CHs and substitute 'care at home' in the autumn of 2012. That ran into the sand. SD&T CCG has been consulting (wearing down) about these proposals throughout 2014 – 2016, with the formal period as noted above.

A large amount of material has been dispersed but traditional notices like posters have seldom been used. A large majority of the population does not know what the 'CCG' stands for or does. They would not be helped if they read, say, the Formal Governing Body meeting of April 2016 and its 263 pages.

Consultation re closure of 60 CH beds and increased care at home

Category: NHS

The Clinical Commissioning Group (GPs who 'buy/commission services from the providers eg Torbay Hospital) have been directed by NHS England to close Community Hospitals.  In turn, more patients will be looked after in the home, about which there is a good deal of scepticism.  The pressure to get those listening members of the public to agree has been overbearing. 

There is no doubt, as this document says - 'Close the CHs - cripple the DGH.' Download the Document Here

Our NHS: Hanging on a Thread

Category: Medical

We know that the NHS is under threat. It’s struggling to provide the services and care that patients need with the limited funding it has available. We’ve heard about it from politicians and the media - but what about people’s real-life experiences? What about the voices from those on the front-line?
