Root out racism in our community
JVL Introduction
The Board of Deputies has today published the report of its Commission on Racial Inclusivity in the Jewish Community.
It says: “No community is immune from the scourge of prejudice and ours is no exception.”
Yet it welcomes the new openly and proudly racist Israeli Ambassador Tsipi Hotovely.
Na’amod, “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”, is up in arms about this.
Na’amod says that that welcoming her “ normalises her virulent racism against Palestinians and shields her from critiques of her views.”
We agree!
Sign the Na’amod petition calling on communal leaders not to host her.

We need to root out racism in our community. Stop hosting Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely.

The establishments, all of them, are embedded with fundamental hypocrisy; they narrowly perceive in a limited way, their way, or how they are told, or on the basis of unquestioned routines, but never with objective study of the facts.
Still no acknowledgement that Jews are many communities. As a non Jew I salute those who hold fast to their values of justice and anti racism even though it may cost them their friends and family. Thank you.
