During a meeting between the two in London, Rivlin thanked Mirvis for his “clear voice and leadership,” the President’s Office said according to AP.

In his article, published on the website of The Times, Mirvis wrote that “just weeks before we go to the polls, the overwhelming majority of British Jews are gripped by anxiety.”

“During the past few years, on my travels through the U.K. and further afield, one concern has been expressed to me more than any other. Of course, the threats of the far right and violent jihadism never go away, but the question I am now most frequently asked is: What will become of Jews and Judaism in Britain if the Labour Party forms the next government?” he said.

According to the report, Rivlin told Mirvis that there is “no room for anti-Semitism in the halls of power,” and that the rabbi’s “clear voice and leadership, particularly in the last few days, fills us all with pride.”

Typical Zionist ideology and strategy, to ignite and claim antisemitism thereafter to hail themselves rescuers . . .

Kudos to Rabbi Weinberger for his letter to Mr. Corbyn having a “clear voice” that these Yidden offshoots do not represent Klal Yisroel!

Interesting that Rivlin praises rabbi, the Times of Israel is not certain that the rabbi should come out against British antisemitism in politics….

Aren’t you embarrassed that this Wine-Burger letter is a fraud and no such bum exists? And are you so psychotic that you love an antiSemite just because he hates Israel? Please investigate your grandma’s breeder, you’ll be stunned to know to whom you’re related.

Lazy boy, it would be interesting to know if the Times of Israel would apply the same
logic to the gang of Jewish lawmakers in US who cause Jew hatred by pushing to overthrow a president without evidence of wrongdoing, and are generally in favor of immorality, no borders, heavy burdensome taxes on majority of non Jewish people and despise our Judeo- Christian values.
