NJA Statement: The Green Party’s Attack on Jewish Identity, Faith and Self-Determination

The National Jewish Assembly condemns in the strongest possible terms the stabbing of two Jewish individuals in Golders Green, an attack subsequently confirmed as a terrorist attack.

An attempted firebombing of the Finchley Reform Synagogue is not an isolated incident. It is a warning. It comes only weeks after ambulances operated by a Jewish community emergency service, one that serves the wider public, were deliberately set alight in Golders Green.

Statement from the We Believe Alliance The BBC’s decision to platform Tucker Carlson is not an isolated lapse in judgement. It is the latest example in a long and deeply troubling pattern. Time and again, the BBC has demonstrated a consistent failure when it comes to Israel and the Jewish
The We Believe Alliance condemns the reported remarks made in a “Greens for Palestine” What’s App group in which Jews are described in dehumanising terms. Let us be clear. This is not activism. It is antisemitism, explicit and unapologetic. It follows a pattern seen from the darkest chapters of European
