Great name & Logo. They join Rainbow O's. Other fans can form groups too. Watford, TH & Arsenal all have Jewish fans groups. As a % of fans we probably have the biggest share of Jewish fans. Plus a proud history of Jewish players & directors

Some of my good friends over many years at the O's are from the Jewish community
Have been in my thoughts more than usual the past few weeks, hope they are all doing ok

Always remember seeing the programme message September time wishing our Jewish supporters a happy new year.

Great name.

What is the purpose of the group?

[bobo66]

Why can't you just be an Os supporter?

[Chicken Dhansak]

As bobo66 has just said what is the difference which god you pray to, we all love the same club so race or religion should not even be considered.

If you’d bothered to read the article linked in the OP……

It is not compulsory to join it .

[Northern]

Won't be many I thought there was only about 240'000 Jews in the country. Taking into consideration not all like football or the Orient. Safety in numbers keep the faith with the Orient.

[o-no]

I get that other fans can form groups too, but we're all O's fans. Why the need to be separate? Surely all inclusive is better.

Good luck to them

As bobo66 has just said what is the difference which god you pray to, we all love the same club so race or religion should not even be considered.

Especially, when, if you look at events in the world today, it's clear there is no "God", and the ludicrous interpretations/fairy stories built up around said "God", cast as "religion" contribute to most of the genocide on the planet.

Notwithstanding, for me, the Jewish community represent a fine example of integration into this country. Along with others, but unlike others too.

I have Jewish friends and they are amazing people without doubt.

However for me, yet another "are you in our club?" group, is only likely to increase division, not eradicate it and bring unity (which is what I, and no doubt most, want).

London' simpleton mayor's statement of "diversity is our strength" is laughable to all apart from those that wear a red rosette. We should be looking towards "unity", not "diversity".

If there are 3 people sitting at a bus-stop that follow 3 religions and speak 3 different languages and can't communicate, that is not a strength, but a representation of failed unity and a failed system of integration.

Groups of this nature only increase division, by pointing out diffences, and do not promote unity; though of course I do wish "them" (as they clearly now wish to be seen) all well and all success with this venture.

Won't be many I thought

There will - potentially - be lots. Orient has a massive match-going Jewish support base.

I don't think any of the major conflicts in the world today can be considered to be based on religions, they are about land. What's more to the point in my earlier post, is that you are an atheist, I am a Christian but we are both Orient supporters.

Israel/Palestine isnt about Religon ? Oh do come on.

[Long slender neck]

Good for them if it brings fans together. There are plenty of groups, for example maybe you go to the supporters club, play for the Orientear or post on this forum! Dont see it as divisive.

We should have one Idris can be ambassador for .

Fairly sure you don’t have to be Jewish to be in any of the groups you mention though.

Why would a gentile want to join a Jewish supporters club?

Going back to my initial question, why would anyone want to joint this club, what is its purpose?

Didn’t Groucho Marx say the same?

You do not have to join it do you?

Because they would be supporting it?
