Investigate Schonfield under the BoD's Code of Conduct

The Issue

Amos Schonfield is a Deputy, a member of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.

On 15.1.21 Schonfield called three Jews (Yochy Davis, Martin Hizer, Esther Chayes) ‘fascist sympathisers’; one (Yochy Davis) is the daughter of a Holocaust Survivor:

Why the abuse? Simply because they disagree with his view that Donald Trump is evil personified!

Schonfield has a history of online abuse ............

On 27 May 2020 on Twitter he called Jonathan Hoffman (me) an ‘insidious racist troll’:

On 30 June 2020 on Twitter he called me a ‘racist troll’:

My name was forged on this Crowdfund https://justgiving.com/fundraising/no-to-annexation Schonfield knew it was a forgery but used the fact to encourage further donations thus encouraging Identity Theft:

The Board of Deputies’ Code of Conduct says that Deputies must treat fellow Deputies, Board employees and others  with respect, courtesy, honesty and fairness.

Schonfield repeatedly violates this.

The Code applies to Deputies when they represent the Board and also ‘where the reputation of the Board may be affected’.

Schonfield’s getout has always been that the Board’s Constitution Committee says that his Twitter activity is completely separate from the Board and does not affect its reputation.

Enough is enough. Schonfield is obviously bringing the Board into disrepute and it is way overdue for the Code of Conduct to be applied.
