Gary Lineker’s Deletion of Antisemitic Post is Not an Apology
The National Jewish Assembly (NJA) today slammed Gary Lineker’s decision to quietly delete an antisemitic Instagram story as a cynical act of PR damage control – not an expression of regret or moral clarity.

NJA Condemns UK UN Representative’s Detached “Ceasefire Now” Rhetoric
The National Jewish Assembly (NJA) today criticised the UK Government’s repeated calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, following remarks made by Ambassador Barbara Woodward at the United Nations Security Council.

By Steve Winston, Managing Director of the National Jewish Assembly There are many ways a once-proud political party can show it has lost its nerve, its judgment, and its moral compass.

NJA Commends Legal Challenge to NASUWT Over Appointment of Pro-Palestine Firebrand
The National Jewish Assembly (NJA) welcomes the legal action initiated against the NASUWT over the deeply contentious appointment of Matt Wrack as General Secretary.

Jewish Identity Hijacked for Political Vanity
By Steve Winston, Managing Director, National Jewish Assembly There is no shortage of people willing to sign their names to morally unserious causes. There is, however, something particularly grotesque about 36 elected Deputies of the Board of Deputies of British Jews using their position not to speak for their community, but to attack it. Published […]
