The Board has expressed its concern to French authorities over the way they have handled its Bird Flu crisis by denying members of the Jewish community chicken soup.

Since announcing that 3.12% of its country is infected by Bird Flu, the French government has banned all Jews from consuming chicken soup, though non-Jews are still allowed to buy and make it.

“We are appalled that France has reacted this way to the crisis,” said Board president Harry Greenberg. “They are the only country to ban its Jewish citizens from having chicken soup.”

Though other countries have had bird flu, the Board is rather concerned why the French have taken its anti-chicken soup stance against Jews.

“Why chicken soup for Jews and not chicken soup for non-Jews,” Mr Greenberg added. “Could it have anything to do with the fact that chicken soup and Jews go together?”

The Board is in close co-operation with its respective Jewish French colleagues and will be organising a rally to support them in order to get chicken soup back on the menu.

“We will be having a rally on March 26 where 450,000 Jews from across London will gather outside the French embassy,” commented Board communications director Susan Jacobs. “We cannot accept or tolerate denial of our basic eating rights.”
