A short video made by members of Na’amod in Manchester on the occasion of Pesach expressing solidarity with the Director of the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester against attempts spearheaded by UK Lawyers for Israel to get him sacked.
Na’amod say: “We are a movement of British Jews seeking to end our community’s support for the occupation, and to mobilise it in the struggle for freedom, equality and justice for all Palestinians and Israelis”
Na'amodniks in Manchester have produced a powerful Pesach-themed video protesting attempts to force out @WhitworthArt's Director @magwagdirector, who was asked to leave his position after hosting an exhibit critical of the occupation. pic.twitter.com/YYWwTbsMgg

Brilliant video. Thanks Manchester Na’amod for helping to break the silence.
But this isn’t about making British Jews safe. If they feel unsafe they are much more likely to support Israel and even consider emigrating to Israel.
This video deserves to be widely shared.
A one state solution in the land of Palestine will make all Jews much safer & ‘on the right side of history’.
