Hello. We were at this protest, alongside other Jews and Jewish groups. We spent the entire time being thanked for our presence, and proudly held our banner alongside our Muslim family. We are building solidarity. You are providing ideological cover for a genocide.

This is why, for example, Jewish people are 13 times more likely to be expelled from the Labour party. Instead of this being recognised as structural antisemitism, because they are mostly left-wing and anti-Zionist Jews, it doesn't count as discrimination.

To those who say "Islam is a religion not a race, you can't be racist to Muslims" hate to break it to you but 'race' isn't what you think it is. Race is a set of shifting, socially constructed meanings written onto our bodies, structuring who accesses power vs who is oppressed.

Thank you for the outpouring of solidarity & support ✊🏿✡️ Black women & anti-Zionist Jews who show up for Palestine should not fear violence from Zionists & the far right. We are collecting witness testimonies & are considering next steps to defend the right to protest genocide

Nico Froehlich, photographer & lecturer, assaulted a Black Jewish member of BJA at the East Finchley protest this week. As she was assembling our banner, he stamped her hand to the ground, trapping her and breaking our pole. These misogynist racists don't speak for our Judaism.

The Jewish Bloc has provided a space for Jews to voice their horror at Israel's actions in Gaza, and we welcome hundreds and sometimes thousands of Jews to every Palestine solidarity demonstration.

I was sent this image by a member of my family in Israel. He was delighted that an IDF soldier has written my name on a missile to be dropped on people in Gaza - all because I am a Jew who wants every human being to be free from the river to the sea.

An evening full of joy & sorrow, solidarity & fight. We sang Yiddish & Ladino songs of liberation. Broke bread, danced & plotted. Out of the horror of genocide in Gaza a new Jewish liberation movement is being born. Onwards toward freedom for Palestinians & Jews everywhere. ✊🏿✡️

There are videos of decapitated and limbless bodies coming out of Rafah, after Israel bombed refugees in a tent camp. In the UK, it is those of us protesting this massacre that face attack and violence. It is surreal and terrifying the depths of depravity and wickedness.

We have to understand the recent fascist mobilisations in the UK, the collaboration between far right and Zionist groups, as a reactionary response to our mass mobilisations for Palestine.

BJA formed because we know Jews will never be safe in a world where other racialised folk are not free. This has never been clearer than now. Jews will never be free of violence & fear in a world where Palestinians face genocide, occupation & apartheid. Free Palestine, always✊🏿✡️

Those who use the framework 'Jews Don't Count' need to ask themselves why a racist, xenophobic, fascist, Islamaphobe - Douglas Murray - has become, unchallenged, a respectable & celebrated defender of British Jewry, & the damage this does to cross-communal antiracist solidarity.

Fascists tried again in '77, this time targeting the Black community. Again, a broad anti-fascist coalition came out en masse to defend the community. On both occasions, the political establishment and police protected the fascists.

Since it was announced online (and visible on the ground today) the inheritors of this fascist tradition have been advocating for this march. Many of the politicians who have led the hostile environment, war on terror and other modern examples of UK racism also marched today.

It is unsurprising that CCA, an organisation with a track record of racist, Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian rhetoric, is attempting to exploit this incident to stoke tension and division between Jews and other folks concerned about the slaughter in Gaza.

Those who at other times in history fought racism/fascism side by side are now utterly & bitterly divided. Now some view those who peddle racist policies and fascist rhetoric as their friends. It is depressing, but we must fight for the best of our antiracist traditions. ✊🏿✡️

This, alongside Islamaphobia and anti-Palestinian racism, is their campaign model. Just this morning, Gideon Falter chose to spread the denilalist, anti-Black and racist myth that Black people are not racially targeted by police.
