King Charles III - British jews decide that they can tolerate him

The key question: will King Charles be good for the Jews?
Some of his interventions have caused anxiety — such as his 'Defender of Faith' comment. But a look at his record shows that Charles has been a consistent friend to our community

So is this going to be good for the Jews?

Following close behind this question about the accession of King Charles III — the latest iteration of the question interminably asked by diaspora Jews about every development in national life — has been a reproach voiced scarcely less frequently: "Why didn't the Queen ever find time in her engagements abroad to visit Israel"?

Behind both questions lies a fundamental misunderstanding. Members of the Royal Family undertake no engagements overseas unless the UK Foreign Office wants them to do so.

The Queen failed to visit Israel not because she didn't want to go. It was because the British government didn't want her to go. The reasons aren't hard to fathom from Britain's historic ambivalence about the Jewish national home.

This dates back to the UK's shameful betrayal of its mandate to settle the Jews in Palestine in the 1930s and 1940s. It extends to its current sanitising of Palestinian intransigence and the repeated Foreign Office mis-statement that Israel is in "illegal occupation" of the disputed territories.

In fact, first Prince William and then Prince Charles, as he then was, did make friendly official visits to Israel in 2018 and 2020. This was almost certainly due to a shift in the government's attitude.

And that was probably due to the increasing number of pro-Israel ministers in the administrations of both Theresa May and Boris Johnson, combined with the developing relationship with Israel by the Gulf states towards which the British government has long been obsequious.

Not only do the royals act solely as adjuncts of government policy, but constitutional delicacy means that the monarch has to be above politics. The Queen effaced herself so completely that no-one ever knew what she thought about anything.

But we do know what the former Prince Charles said about a number of issues. And two such things in particular have caused alarm among some British Jews.

The first was his attitude towards religions other than Christianity. In 1994, he said he wanted to be not the Defender of the Faith — the Crown's historic role in upholding Protestantism — but "defender of faith".

This raised fears that he would promote a multi-faith mishmash, thus replacing the protection that the Jews have enjoyed under the umbrella of the established church by a battle for power between faith groups.

Closely allied to that fear was his perceived attraction towards Islam. For in any such battle for power, it was plausibly believed, Islam would win.

There is no doubt that King Charles has found elements of Islam extremely attractive. But he explained his remark by saying that he wanted to use his Christian standpoint to offer protection to other faiths.

And in his first address to the nation after his mother's death, he pledged to uphold the sovereign's particular responsibility towards the Church of England — the church in which his own faith was "so deeply rooted".

The King has shown much friendship and warmth towards British Jews. In 2013, at the inauguration of Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, he became the first royal to attend such a ceremony — sporting a personalised kippah embroidered with the crest of the Prince of Wales. In a speech that year, he expressed concern at the rise of antisemitism in Britain.

In 2019, at a Chanukah party at Buckingham Palace, he said that as he grew up he had been deeply touched that British Jews remembered his family in their weekly prayers. "And as you remember my family", he said, "so we too remember and celebrate you".

Five years ago, however, Jews were alarmed to read a letter he wrote in 1986 to his mentor, Laurens van der Post. He referred in this to Israel having been created by an influx of European Jews. He also lamented the influence of the "Jewish lobby" in America.

At the time, Clarence House disavowed these remarks. It said the letter "clearly stated" these weren't his own views but represented the opinions of some of those he had met during his recent visit to the Gulf "which he was keen to interrogate".

Whether or not he ever held such views, however, is all but irrelevant.

Now that he is the King, he has lost the freedom to express his opinions. In his private weekly audiences with the prime minister, he is most likely to follow the constitutional convention upheld by his mother.

This is to proffer wise advice to the prime minister, issue warnings and above all provide support — but never to seek to influence government policy.

In any event, his own deep belief in promoting harmony reinforces the fundamental duty of the British monarchy — to unify the nation.

In that duty, the British crown has patterned itself since antiquity on the monarchy of King David, who forged a united kingdom out of disparate tribes and whose own power was limited through alternative power bases of priests, prophets and judges.

Charles III is the latest British monarch in that Davidic tradition. God save the King. And God save British Jews.

King Charles III and Zionism

Following the death of Elizabeth II, a new hereditary monarch has assumed power in Britain. Charles has received the full trust of the British establishment, with numerous prominent assets mobilised to beautify his image in the eyes of his subjects.

The sinister figure has, however, served as an arms lobbyist for decades, smoothing arms sales for BAe Systems in the Middle East. He has also been found to accept cash gifts in plastic bags from Arab monarchs, purportedly in exchange for state honours.

He is also believed by many to have had a role in the killing of his former wife, Diana, and her Muslim fiance, Dodi al-Fayed. Both the father of Dodi and Diana herself pointed the finger in his direction. Diana sent a letter to her lawyer only six months before she died, predicting the exact way she would be killed and claiming Charles was behind the plan.

Clearly, Charles is of questionable character, but what has not been examined is his relationship with the Israel lobby. The monarch has been a key patron of the World Jewish Relief organisation for many years. The organisation shares funders with Zionist settlements and is funded by key Israel lobbyist and convicted fraudster Gerald Ronson.

Charles described Israel lobbyist Jonathan Sacks as a "trusted guide, an inspired teacher, and a true and steadfast friend." But who was Jonathan Sacks? The former chief Rabbi of Britain was the President of the United Jewish Israel Appeal, which is one of the three national institutions of the Zionist entity. Sacks was also on the board of an anti-BDS Israel lobby group targeting schoolchildren, called One Voice. Jonathan Sacks also described anti-zionism as the new antisemitism, a key theme of the Israel lobby in Britain. He described the Israeli military as instilling "a sense of genuine altruism."

The rabbi also heaped praise on the controversial Birthright Israel programme, claiming it was "perhaps the greatest single innovation in Jewish life in the past quarter century." His death was mourned by Israeli prime minister Yair Lapid, claiming that he "misses conversations with him" and that his presence in the world made him a "better person."

Israeli President Isaac Herzog described Sacks as a "giant of a man." The Israel lobby in the UK seems to have been quietly mobilised around a campaign to improve Charles' image in the Muslim community. A senior fellow at the NATO think tank, the Atlantic Council, Ben Judah has been a key proponent of the idea that Charles harbours some deep affection for the Muslim faith. He presumptuously writes in the Washington Post that "Britain’s new head of state is a loud admirer of Islam, a critic of Western interventionism and a champion of multiculturalism."

It is important to note that Ben Judah came of age writing for a key Israel lobby paper, the Jewish Chronicle, in which he proudly describes Jacob Farj Rafael (a peer of Judah's grandfather and adviser to Narendra Modi), as a hero and "one-man AIPAC in Calcutta."

During the campaign against Corbyn, Judah also revealed himself as a fervent supporter of key Israel lobby groups, writing, "Only this year have I begun to feel truly proud of British Jews. We are proud of the dogged exposure done by Jewish activists like the Campaign Against Antisemitism.

We are proud of The Jewish Chronicle for revealing a flourishing culture of conspiracy theories inside the Labour Party. Because who else is going to do it for you? It is clear a mobilisation to astroturf support for Charles is taking place in the Muslim community. Who exactly is behind it? Time will tell.
