 Jewish Russian Telegraph: Naomi Federlander: WHY JCRC IS RECKLESS AND IRRESPONSIBLE FOR DROPPING THE BALL ON SOMERVILLE
This year, JCRC is conspicuously absent from the local political scene because by forefeiting SDP they could embark on a national campaign with greater visibility, Darfur.
Apparently JCRC doesn’t have time to deal with petty, local nonsense since they are now big players on the state and perhaps national and international scene.
As we already know how JCRC and other Jewish agencies are allocating resources to “help” Israel rebuild after the Lebanon war, the excuse of being over extended because of their exclusive focus on helping Haifa, a sister city, is worn too thin to even try.

 Jewish Russian Telegraph: Naomi Federlander: JCRC'S NEW RED LINE
This strong moral stance is somewhat strange and disturbing, in light of JCRC’s timidity and virtual silence all the while Israel has been bashed and demonized in the media, at universities, in the UN and in just about every other forum of national and international consequence.
Not only has JCRC not championed Israel’s cause, but often they were directly complicit in its condemnation by extending an outstretched arm to the bashers, attackers, and deligitimizers of Israel calling them their “honored” guests.
Condemnations against Israel were welcomed and encouraged as part of a ’robust and healthy debate.’ Until now, JCRC hid behind their microscopic fig leaf claiming they are a “broad and inclusive tent,” and must therefore act in concert with, reflect and represent all their member groups.
