Activities
- Derek Livingston said April 4, 2007 at 10:14 pm
- As one of those involved in GJEF I have been amazed and disillusioned by some the smears which are going round the community about this organisation. Yes, some of us have been involved in Peace Now but equally others would run a mile. We do not claim to be the future of the community (see 429) but neither are we, as I have heard, the rump of Peace Now, the Glasgow branch of IJV or anything similar. We are simply 5 Jewish guys who are all active in some way or another in the community and consider that it is time that the community looked at various issues affecting it not from a reactive point of view but from taking the initiative. All of us intend being around in this community in 30 years time and want to see a community that is dealing with the issues facing it rather than attempting to brush them under the carpet. [[Calderwood Lodge],] Jewish ethics, speaking for the Jewish community about Israel and the survival or otherwise of communal organisations come into this. There has been little opportunity for discussion about the community in the past and, whilst there are plenty of things on this blog I don’t like, the important thing is people have an opportunity to say what they think without having to go through the sometimes tortuous committee structure which exists simply to have their views silenced. We are trying to facilitate discussion and contemplation about where this community is going but clearly have frightened certain people who for their own reasons choose to rubbish us with ad hominems.[1]
