Windsor Castle To Host Dinner Celebration For Israel's 60th Birthday

God bless the Brits. This is from the Jewish Chronicle:


Windsor Castle dinner for Israel’s 60th

Exclusive: THE ROYAL family is granting two of the community’s biggest charities the use of Windsor Castle for a special anniversary dinner to mark Israel’s 60th anniversary in April, the JC can reveal.

Excited officials from UJIA and the JNF said they were in the early stages of planning the April 7 event, which will be held in the presence of the Duke of Edinburgh. The guest of honour is to be Israeli President Shimon Peres, who will be in Britain before hosting a major international 60th-anniversary conference in Jerusalem in May. Invitations for the Jerusalem conference have gone out to President George Bush and heads of state.

A JNF spokesperson said the anticipated 300 dinner guests would be raising funds for both organisations, the first time they have worked together on such a scale. “We are so grateful to the Royal Family for giving us the opportunity to celebrate Israel’s anniversary, and for allowing us to stage this wonderful event in Windsor Castle.”

UJIA chief executive Doug Krikler believed it was the first major Jewish — “and kosher” — event to be held at Windsor Castle.

The dinner will be part of a series of celebrations in Britain to mark the Jewish state’s 60th anniversary. Among communal functions already lined up are a dinner in central London this month, held by the Zionist Federation, with guest speaker Ronald Lauder, the new World Jewish Congress president.

There will be a show in May featuring comedian Jackie Mason and Israeli singer Sarit Hadad at Wembley Stadium, and, at the end of June, London’s first ever street parade for Israel.

The significance of this event is that it cannot have been initiated from 'normal' diplomatic sources.

The Foreign Office is notoriously anti-Semitic and pro-Arab, and the Labour (mis)government is so dhimmified and scared of offending Muslims that it has banned 'Three Little Pigs'.

Therefore, one must conclude that this celebration has been ordered (no doubt in the face of much opposition from the dhimmis) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II herself!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

A dinner invitation - and it only took 60 years! Oy vey! What to wear . ..what to wear?

All kidding aside, this is remarkable given the growing anti-semetic sentiments in the UK and much of the EU.

Some cool facts about Israel

Yiddish rap (strictly orthodox - of course) rap tune Two haredi musicians from Bnei Brak recorded a Yiddish cover album giving international hits a strictly-Orthodox twist by using lyrics that bear a religious meaning. scroll down a bit - it takes a few seconds to load - but well worth the wait.
