Charities’ response to Israel-Gaza war under the spotlight
from Religion Media Centre:
The Telegraph has two stories relating to charities’ response to the war in Israel / Gaza.
It reports that the Charity Commission is investigating 70 organisations for alleged extremism or anti-Semitism, including hate speech and content of sermons. Another report quotes government sources saying the Interfaith Network should have taken a more active role in condemning Hamas and addressing the rise in community tensions.
In a statement, the IFN made clear that it convenes a forum including national faith community bodies and it has a policy precluding it from making statements on overseas events unless there is an issue ‘directly affecting relations between different faith communities in this country’”.
