Leading members of Jewish civil society groups have written to British Prime Minister Andy Burnham urging him to adopt stronger measures on Israel and “oppose any further attempts to muzzle the Palestine marches”.

This comes as the Burnham government prepares to announce a raft of new measures on the occupied West Bank, including a ban on goods from illegal Israeli settlements.

    Horrible to see how far antisemitism has spread!

    In a serious tone, any Jewish org should recognize by now that Israel is the number one cause and promoter of antisemitism that can produce actual violence against Jews in the imperial core. This is the right move to protect Jews.
