are now dividing up parts of our own cities.
From BBC News 9 August 2002.
"The first major area in the UK to be formally marked out with special Jewish boundaries is expected to go ahead despite a decade of concerted opposition. The final details of the proposed "eruv" covering the heart of north London's Jewish community goes before decision makers in the coming days after years of negotiations."
"The first major area in the UK to be formally marked out with special Jewish boundaries is expected to go ahead despite a decade of concerted opposition."
At least there are some moderates in the jewish community in London who oppose the plan.
"Madeleine Simms, an opponent of the eruv, said that the campaign against it would continue. A secular Jew, Mrs Simms stressed that the campaign believed that no minority group should be allowed to impose its views upon others.
She predicted the eruv would ultimately create tension and bring little benefit to those who support it."
The boundaries that are not defined naturally by roads, railway lines, rivers and so on will be defined by having poles cemented into the pavements (sidewalks) with wire strung from them across the street. I suppose jews may wander into enemy territory if they had to remember where the borders were. This has raised an outcry from people who will have poles stuck outside their houses, effectively blocking out the light.
One woman reported on the news that in her particular case the pole is so close to her house she can only just open her front door...
Yesterday Palestine, today the capitals of the world, tomorrow - The World.
