Today Jewish infants go to school in the UK with armed response protection. Today in the UK Jewish worshippers (including me) go to pray for peace under the threat of death. Today in the UK Jewish businesses are attacked & Jews spat on in the street. Today in the UK I’ve received racist hate online. Whatever your views & feelings on Gaza, Lebanon & Israel & however passionately you hold them, Today is a chance to show you care about my safety & the safety of the Jewish community. If you can’t, ask why not? Do you care about the - ongoing - plight of Palestinians or do you just hate Jews? Ask yourself today?
Ps.. Antisemitic attacks in the UK spiked the day after October 7th. Reflect on that too today.
