But the Board is noticeably silent now about Zionist gang violence against Palestinian Arab (including supporters some Jews) in London. In 1967 the Board of Deputies sent a delegation to Whitehall to complain because Foreign Secre- tary George Brown was not sup- porting Israel's occupation of Arab areas seized in the June war. Auxiliary Claiming to speak for all people in Jewish Britain, the Board was in fact functioning as an auxiliary arm of Israeli gov- ernment policy. Although the Zionists have always extracted as much poli- tical capital as they could from the Stalinist treatment of Jews in the Soviet Union and E Europe, they have usually left such demonstra- activities tions on this issue to Jewish student groups. However, since the June 1967 war in particular, Zionist propa- ganda has gone to great lengths to portray the Soviet Union as enemy number one of the Jews, and to make connection a between anti-Semitism in the Soviet bloc and Soviet support Arab against for the states Israel.
