London Eruv heating up

After doing some research, it seems that there is a two huge fights going on there about this. The first one is from the Chassidish & Litvish Kehilla's who's Rabbonim are against this eruv; Maran Horav Eliyashiv included. The second fight is between the Conservative & Reform Jewish groups who feel that an Eruv will cause anti-semitism. Yeshivaworld posted about this two weeks ago. This letter was written to the editor of a London Newspaper by a non-frum jew in regards to the new London Eruv (Hendon 1/5/06) that's being put up now. Hendon: As a non-observant Jew, the eruv means little to me. I believe that one can interpret biblical commands and manipulate them to an absurd degree. That orthodox Jews should remain prisoners in their homes on the Sabbath is a complete nonsense.I see no objection to a mother taking out her child in a pushchair or a disabled person being wheeled to synagogue.The installation of poles and wires creating a boundary enabling them to do so is quite absurd and I am sure the good Lord thinks so too.However, so what. It does no harm and satisfies some members of the community, although not all. Some ultra-orthodox Jews find it still unacceptable.The subject regularly seems to offend Walter Grey (Be mindful of an anti-Semitic backlash', Letters, January 19). Why?He suggests an anti-Semitic backlash because of the large Jewish population in the borough of Barnet. Is he really concerned about anti-Semitism? I think not.One does not have to be particularly brilliant to read between the lines. He may claim not to be an anti-Semite, but whom is he fooling? Why is he concerned about the prospect of an increase in anti-Semitism?It obviously upsets him deeply that there is a large Jewish population in Barnet and the eruv is a politically correct way for him to express his prejudiced views.Who do you think you are fooling Mr Grey?I care not about the installation of an eruv, one way or another. But please do not insult the intelligence of the Jewish community.........
