British Jewish group spanks Hazan over re-education camp tweet
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Board of Deputies of British Jews issues rare criticism of an Israeli MK, slamming comments made by Likud’s Oren Hazan expressing support for China’s method of incarcerating members of its Muslim minority in “re-education camps.”
“These are deeply reprehensible comments. It is a betrayal of the Jewish conscience to suggest placing any ethnic or religious group into camps. Oren Hazan clearly needs an urgent and sharp lesson in Jewish history,” a spokesman for the umbrella body of UK Jewish communities says in a statement.
