But the Chief Rabbi said the credibility of the report lies in tatters. He
said: Shami Chakrabarti has a proud

Burnham said: I thank our members for the faith they have shown in

devoting all my energy to uniting the
Labour family here, working to win
back the voters we have lost and
building a policy programme with
broad appeal.
He also distanced himself from the
national Labour leadership race
between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen
Smith.
Speaking during a question-and-answer session with the media, Mr Burnham reiterated his belief that now is
not the right time for a leadership
election as he committed to remaining neutral during the fight between
the two contenders.
The result of the Labour leadership
contest will be announced at the

Liverpool next month.

Josh Simons, a former policy adviser who is Jewish, is
alleged to have told
Chakrabarti that someone referred to a Jewish conspiracy in the office.
It is not clear who made
the alleged comments, or
when, but it is believed to
have been made in response
to Ken Livingstone being approached by John Mann MP,

accepted, a peerage from Labour following her ndependent inquiry. The
report, which was weak in several areas,
now seems to have been rewarded with
an honour. This whitewash for peerages is a scandal that surely raises serious questions about the integrity of Ms
Chakrabarti, her inquiry and the Labour
leadership.
The Community Security Trust said:
Shami Chakrabarti peerage is shameless kick in the teeth for all who put
hope in her now wholly compromised
trust that she has gained from many ordinary Britons, will be an asset to the
House of Lords.
They added: Shami wasnt told she
would be nominated for a peerage before the publication of her inquiry and
both her nomination and subsequent appointment to the House of Lords was
made after the report was published.
But Labour MP Wes Streeting said
that, while Chakrabarti would bring great
experience to the chamber, lets not
pretend a peerage under these circumstances doesnt stink.

Imam Ajmal Masroor, who leads prayer services at mosques across London, peaches that Zionism stands for racism and Jewish supremacist ideology
FERRER
Editor, Jewish News
MPS PRETEND they dont know what motivates people to swap suburbia for Syria to become psycho killers or rape slaves of psycho
killers. They walk on eggshells for fear of causing offence.
Well, this week, the prime minister finally did
what no other politician has the guts to do. Instead of being politically correct he was just,
simply, correct.
Unveiling the Governments new counter extremism strategy, David Cameron declared war
on Muslim, non-violent extremists who radicalise young people and, overpower mainstream voices.
Welcome words indeed. The trouble is, the
very reason MPs are scared to speak out is
that in British Muslim society non-violent extremists who radicalise young people are
part of the mainstream.
Forget mad mullahs like Anjem Choudary.
Their upside-down opinions are outside Muslim society and, indeed, sanity.
Rather, consider a piece of work like Ajmal
Masroor, a popular publicity-grabbing imam
who regularly crawls out of his moral cesspit
to appear on cosy BBC sofas posing as the
voice of progressive Islam.
Last August, Londons Palmers Green
mosque, a moderate institution whose congregants do interfaith work with the local
Jewish community, rolled out the red carpet
to Masroor, who spent 30 minutes educating
his hushed audience about abusers in the

UN man arrested
ISRAEL HAS arrested a Palestinian employee of the
United Nations in Gaza,
accusing him of using his position to assist the Islamic
terrorist Hamas group, which
rules the coastal territory.
Israels Shin Bet domestic
security agency says Waheed
Borsh, 38, an engineer working for the UN development
agency UNDP in the Gaza
Strip since 2003, was indicted on Tuesday.
It says he confessed to
using UNDP resources to

Shin Bet also says Borsh

to help Hamas build tunnels,
purchase arms and construct
military bases.

Hamas continues to build terror tunnels and rearms in preparation for another attack on Israel.
Worryingly, the UK via the Department for International Development

The Department has conceded it
cannot guarantee that British taxpayers money has not been given to

Biggins had received
a warning after he made

He claimed HIV had

brought it back to their

and thats how it became
a worldwide disease.
Biggins had also claimed
bisexuals were people not

MESSIAH COMPLEX
Lisa Sanders continues her probe into cults that want to take the Jewish
out of the Jewish state with a look at the high-tech OneForIsrael group
Y
eshua, we praise your name!
Yeshua, we love you! Im listening
to Moti Vaknin, a balding, Israeli
guy in his mid-thirties, and hes describing, in Hebrew, his own conversion to a
brand of Christianity known as Messianic
Judaism. Vaknin grew up in Haifa in an Orthodox Jewish family. Today hes at the
forefront of a movement that seeks to
convert Jews, in Israel and abroad, to accept Jesus alongside their Judaism.
Vaknin is earnest: he talks candidly about
his teenage years; his rebellion against his religious upbringing, his service in the IDF then
his trip to New York where he took drugs and
struggled to make it as a photographer. He
even worked as a mashgiach at a kosher
pizzeria. As he hit rock bottom in New York
out of money and feeling hopeless some
American friends took him to what he thought
was a synagogue for the Shabbat service.
He says he was puzzled when everyone
started singing about Yeshua.
He recalls: I asked my friend, Psst who is
this Yeshua? She looked at me, astonished, and
said, Its Jesus...I told her straight, I didnt want
anything to do with these missionaries.
But then, as Vaknin tells it, once hed studied the New Testament I felt as if someone is
hugging me. He emphasises that hes still
one hundred percent Jewish, but these days
hes a leader in Israels 20,000-strong community of Messianic Jews.
Ironically, both proponents and critics insist
Messianic Jewry in Israel is booming. Messianic Jews believe that Jesus is the Jewish
messiah, and that the Bible prophesises an
End of Days apocalypse that brings about the
Second Coming. In this theology, all the ingathered Jews are doomed to perish unless
they have converted to Christianity.
I was admittedly sceptical about the idea
that Christianity is growing in popularity among
Israeli Jews. Then I discovered a network of active churches that cater to Israelis from every
background, offering services in Russian and
Amharit as well as Hebrew and English.
Many have homegrown Sabras on their ministries native Israelis like Vaknin who were
born Jewish, and who blend Jewish traditions
with belief in Jesus.
A few days after my first visit to a Messianic
community, I discovered a glossy, expensivelyproduced booklet in my postbox. Written entirely in Hebrew, its cover depicts a rendering
of Van Goghs Starry Night, with the words
Jesus The Man and His Way along the
bottom. Inside, peppered with hip graphics,
are 37 pages of essays on prophecy, science,
war, peace and, bizarrely, Bob Dylan quotes.
At the end, curious readers are invited to
order the book (for free!) HaBesora (the News)
from a site called him.co.il.
I started digging. The Him website, in Hebrew, offers excerpts from another free book,
entitled The Prophetic Code. The site itself is
registered to Yeshua the Messiah at an address in Dallas, Texas.
That same address is also linked to an extensive network of other sites. These have extraordinary names like iGod, IMetMessiah.com,
Messiah.co.il, WeLoveIsrael, TheOne, i53 and,
wait for it, XRabbi.co.il.
There are YouTube channels and an online
Fighting for Jesus: Bar and Vaknin on the home page of their OneForIsrael umbrella site
If Vaknin resembles the kindly uncle of Messianic ministry, Bar is the slick saleman of
Jesus prophecy. The two are best friends and
both hold degrees in Biblical Studies. While
Vaknin did a three-year stint working for Jews

THIS IS DEMOCRACY
Its enough to make one choke on ones
breakfast while reading a pristine copy of
Socialist Today, God forbid!
In response to Barry Bormans view that
Corbyn has rightly separated religion and
politics (Letters, Jewish News, 21 July), he
has conveniently forgotten the one glaringly
obvious fact Israel has a democraticallyelected government and the nearest thing to
western values you will find in the Middle
East, unlike the majority of countries that
Muslims are not responsible for.
Also, for Corbyn's opening remarks into
a report regarding anti-Semitism in the
British Labour Party to make any comparison involving Israel is shameful, biased,
unhelpful and completely irrelevant.
Anti-Semitism has risen in the Labour Party
since his election because some of the antiSemitic left activists with whom he strongly
associates feel safe in expressing their racist
comments, knowing he will not oppose
them, despite his weak public protestations.
The only reason his supporters are still
fighting for him to stay leader is because
the few MPs still supporting him, such as
Diane Abbott, know full well that when he
goes, it is the end of the gravy train for
them too; theyll never get anywhere near
the shadow cabinet, let alone government
again. Back to guest slots on TV.
Also, in response to Robert Parks the
Labour Party is not anti-Semitic, of course
it isnt. Its just a small minority with a loud
voice have been given carte blanche to
express unopposed anti-Semitic sentiments. As for being immoral, Israeli doing

Chakrabarti [Chak-ra-barti]
verb, transitive: to mislead
TODAY WE are going to learn some new words
to add to the dictionary. Some are a bit difficult,
but Im sure well all get the hang of them.
Chakrabarti, (chak ra barti) verb, transitive: this
word has several meanings. Up until last week,
it meant to pass yellow Post-It notes to a leader
without anyone knowing the contents (NB this
meaning only applies in front of a House of
Commons Select Committee).
However, as of this week, to Chakrabarti can
mean, variously, to accept a Labour peerage while
having fiercely denied you were going to do any
such thing; to conduct a supposedly independent
inquiry on anti-Semitism for the Labour Party,
which is nothing of the sort; to interview a whole
range of submissions for the inquiry and reflect
few of them in your report; to suggest, incorrectly,
that the reason Baroness Royalls report into
student anti-Semitism was not published was
because individual names were identified; to
launch your inquiry on anti-Semitism at a chaotic
press conference at which a Jewish MP is insulted
in front of you with anti-Semitic remarks. To
Chakrabati additionally: to mislead.

published new guidance that aims to stop procurement boycotts by public authorities such as
local councils.
Ben Gummer MP is the new Minister for the
Cabinet Office and anti-Israel campaigners have
sent him a petition with 9,000 signatures on it,
calling for the guidance to be scrapped and councils given the right to boycott Israel. We have set
up our own petition to ensure Mr Gummer is aware
there are just as many people who do not believe
it is appropriate for councils to boycott Israel.
These calls to action follow our launch campaign on an issue that has also been raised right
here in the pages of Jewish News the disgraceful presence of flags from the terror group
Hezbollah at the recent anti-Israel Al Quds day
march earlier this month.
Regrettably, the police did nothing to stop
people brandishing signs from this virulently antiSemitic organisation. In light of this, we are urging
pro-Israel activists, from within and outside of the
Jewish community, to write to Mayor of London
Sadiq Khan asking him to get the Metropolitan
Police to abide by counterterrorism guidance
issued by the Home Office.
The Israel haters have gone from the political
fringes to taking control of the NUS and the
Labour Party in the past year. But we are rising to
that challenge and we are taking the fight back
to them with guts, passion and energy.
Now we have the right tools to do it as well.

OPINION:
RABBIJUSTIN
MIRIAM COHEN
BERGER AND MARK MAIER
OPINION:
Zio and Nazi metaphors and stressed that making the Palestinian case with hateful language did
no one any favours.
But theres no getting away from the fact that,
in recent weeks, the actions of Corbyns Labour
have done more to undermine than enforce his
words of zero-tolerance of anti-Semitism and professed determination to make Jews feel welcome.
First there was the readmission of Momentum
activist Jackie Walker, no more than a few weeks
after she was suspended over posts claiming
Jews were the chief financiers of the slave trade.
She was rushed back into the fold without so
much as a note of contrition before Chakrabarti
had even reported. The party had needlessly chosen to pile controversy upon controversy that sent
a clear message to others who would indulge in
such rhetoric: there could be room for you in
Labour. Whoever took that decision decided that
placating Walker and her vocal supporters was
more important than starting to address communal fears. There is simply no other way of interpreting it.
Another troubling development was the failure
to publish the full Jan Royall report into allegations of anti-Semitism at the Oxford Labour Club.
Instead, we were forced to wait for the baroness
to become so frustrated that she made the report
available of her own accord.
But what has undermined confidence in Corbyns promises to decisively tackle anti-Semitism

BY RABBI ARIEL
ABEL
for the prophets and fed 100 men with only 20 loaves.
Perhaps most famously, Elisha healed Naaman,
the great Aramean general, of his leprosy. He saved
the iron of an axe lost by a prophet lumberjack, making it rise to the river surface.
In an Aramean attack on Israel, Elisha smote them
with blindness, but asked the King of Israel to keep the
Arameans alive and not kill them in cold blood.
Therefore, the king blamed Elisha for a subsequent
Aramean siege lasting seven years, resulting in famine
and cannibalism. However, Elisha declared the famine
over. There were stampedes in the marketplaces.
The Aramean military disappeared overnight,
frightened by a great noise, leaving their wealth to Israelite plunder.
Finally, Elisha carried out Elijahs original mission to
anoint Hazael as King of Aram and Jehu as future king
of Israel. This brought to an end the evildoing House
of Ahab.
On his deathbed, Elisha handed Joash a bow and
arrows and asked him to shoot towards Aram as an
omen that they would fall into Israels hand.
When Joash failed to shoot more than three times,
Elisha was angry, and told him that had he shot five
or six times, Aram would have been forever vanquished. Instead, Hazael, also anointed by Elisha,
would ultimately subjugate Israel.
Even post-mortem, Elishas corpse miraculously revived another corpse which had occupied his grave;
the dead man stood and left, leaving the grave empty
for its new occupant.

JEWISH
HERO
This week, Jim Fletcher
selects Dame Alicia Markova
don Synagogue (where her parents married). She was instrumental in the formation of
Rambert Dance Company and of
what is now the Royal Ballet.
She co-founded Festival Ballet in 1951, now known as English National Ballet (ENB), to
open up the art form to the
masses at affordable prices.
ENB has performed The Nutcracker in London every year
since, giving many generations
their first taste of dance.
Markova also became patron
of the Academy of Indian Dance,
becoming one of the first classical
dancers in the UK to collaborate
with classical Indian movement.
She also revived the largely
forgotten romantic ballet Giselle
and made the role her own,
bringing this now much-loved
ballet to the attention of new audiences. This year, English National Ballet has commissioned
the Kathak/Contemporary choreographer, Akram Khan, to create a reimagining of this classic
ballet. The pioneering spirit of
Dame Alicia is still alive.
At her memorial in Westminster Abbey in 2005, a West London Synagogue rabbi recited El
Malei Rachamim, and dance
was performed in the abbey for
the first time ever.
To the most challenging of
proposals, Dame Alicia Markova
would reply, Why Not?, reflecting her courage, energy, and
strength of vision.
During my 30 plus years
working in the dance industry,
this has made Dame Alicia
Markova my Jewish hero.
Jim works with One Dance UK
and National Theatre of Scotland
and is vice chair, external affairs,
at West London Synagogue

Must I share my
inheritance?
Dear Rebekah
I recently separated from my wife. I received an inheritance
before we parted. Ive heard I may be required to share it
with my wife. Is this correct?
Daniel
Dear Daniel
It is not uncommon for one party to a marriage to have
received an inheritance during the marriage. The question then
arises as to whether that inheritance can be ring-fenced, so that
it does not need to be shared on divorce.
The starting point is that all of the assets of a marriage should
be shared equally. However, this is not automatically the case
in respect of inherited assets.
Whether your inheritance will have to be shared will depend on
the circumstances of your particular matter, including the length
of the marriage, how the inheritance has been dealt with in the
marriage, when it was received, the size of the inheritance and
the financial needs of both parties.
If an inheritance is received shortly before the breakdown of a
marriage, has been retained in the sole name of the person receiving it, has been kept separate from other assets of the marriage, has not been used for the benefit of the family, and both
parties needs can be met from other assets, then it is less likely
that the inheritance will have to be shared on divorce.
If the assets of your marriage, excluding your inheritance are
limited, and are not enough to meet the housing needs of both
you and your wife and any children you have, then there may
be no choice but for your inheritance to be shared, and a court
does have the power to order this in appropriate cases.
The issue of inheritance and divorce is very complicated and
you should therefore seek expert legal advice.

would be in a development where there would be other
people of a similar age. Please do get in touch so that we
can start the ball rolling to fulfilling your sons dream of an
independent life just like his mates.
Dear Hazel
My son was born with cerebral palsy. Despite being told
hed never be able to do anything for himself, he can
manage almost everything. Hes now approaching 21 and

his mates, but I couldnt sleep at night for worry if he was
on his own. A relative had suggested I contact you. Can
you help?
