UK rabbis banned from Gaza over security fears

Two prominent British Liberal rabbis have been denied entry to Gaza
after the Israeli authorities said it was too dangerous for them to
visit.
Rabbi David Goldberg, emeritus rabbi of the Liberal Jewish Synagogue,
St John’s Wood, and Rabbi Danny Rich, chief executive of Liberal
Judaism, had originally obtained Israeli clearance.
But when they arrived at the Erez crossing point into Gaza on the
Sunday before last, Rabbi Goldberg said an Israeli officer told them:
“Sorry, you can’t go, we’ve had security information that it would be
dangerous.”
Rabbi Goldberg has long been an outspoken opponent of Israeli policy
towards the Palestinians, while Rabbi Rich was among critics of the
recent Gaza campaign.
The two rabbis, who were in Israel to attend a World Union of
Progressive Judaism conference, had arranged to go to Gaza through a
contact at an international aid organisation and UNRWA, the UN agency
which works with Palestinian refugees.
“We wanted to see what was taking place there,” Rabbi Rich said, “and
of course meet people with different views from the ones we hold.”
They were due to be escorted by UNRWA and meet members of the Hamas-
led civil administration during a short, possibly overnight stay.
“They were keen to meet us,” Rabbi Goldberg said. “As we were known to
have been critical of Operation Cast Lead, it’s flattering but highly
unlikely that they would have thought us worth kidnapping.
“In any case, two French rabbis had gone in with groups the day
before.”
Rabbi Rich said: “Obviously we were disappointed, though we appreciate
that the Israeli government wished to ensure our safety and not put us
in jeopardy. We have to assume that if the Israelis say there is a
security problem, there is one.”
But although it was also official Foreign Office advice for British
citizens not to go to Gaza, Rabbi Rich believed it would have been
safe to go since UNRWA had arranged to take them round in an armoured
car.
John Ging, UNRWA’s director of operations in Gaza, commented: “We are
all very disappointed that these two activists for peace were denied
entry to Gaza. Such actions hinder rather than help the process to
bring about positive change.”
Following the WUPJ conference, Rabbi Rich took UK Liberal rabbis and
lay leaders on a tour organised by Rabbis for Human Rights, visiting
East Jerusalem, Sderot and Hebron.
He has a meeting with Israel’s deputy ambassador in the UK, Talya
Lador-Fresher. “I hope it will facilitate an early opportunity for me
to go into Gaza,” he said.

l'articolo sostiene una palla, btw. Di ebrei a Gaza ce ne sono stati
fino a tempi recentissimi. I due rabbini di cui parla il Jewish
Chronicle sono inglesi (Goldberg e Rich), l'articolo peraltro cita
anche rabbini francesi e tu sei un imbecille.
