Dear Sir,
Big mistake; philanthropic and financial support does not give one the right to criticise, Samuel Hayek's article was in stark contrast to the reported views and the front page JC newspaper article by Simon Rocker reporting the statements attributed to Mick Davis of the UJIA.
Once again the UK Jewish Community is in disaray with no clear leadership, our enemies in the media must be lapping this up, Ben White, George Galloway, Jenny Tonge, Lauren Booth etc must be laughing their heads off after reading the reports.
All that Mr Davis has achieved is to make the job of pro-Israel advocates harder by giving support to the creeping leftist de-legitimisation and BDS supporters, unfortunately an increasing number of whom are misguided Jews.
The fact that one has wealth and access to the media does not give one the right to set one's self up to be a Political commentator and critic of an elected government and it's Prime Minister, to do that one should be a citizen of the Country and vote in it's elections.
The "job " of disapora Jewry should as Mr Hayek says, be to be a supporter NOT a critic - we surely have enough "critics" out there without adding self-defeating Jewish critics to the number.

Yours
Jon Cohen
