Ruby Wax update

Ruby Wax is boycotting the Zionist Federation's celebration of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. From her support for the so-called Jewish National Fund (see below) I presume it's not the ethnic cleansing that troubles her. A letter from the JNF to the Jewish Chronicle (pay per view website - better pay the 60p for the print edition which is often hilarious) quotes her as saying "I will no longer be attending as I do not agree with the Israeli government's decision to kill Sheikh Yassin. This has nothing whatever to do with [the JNF] and I am delighted to be here" [at a JNF fundraiser]. Funny how people cherry pick among the victims of ethnic cleansing and murder but then a quadriplegic nearly blind man leaving a mosque seems pretty low even by Zionist "standards".
