JVL Introduction
JVL is pleased to share this superb response by our German partners, Judische Stimmer fur Gerechten Frieden in Nahost, to the cancellation in Germany of a lifetime achievement award for playwright Caryl Churchill because of her support for BDS, and also because her play Seven Jewish Children was cited as evidence of antisemitism. Judische Stimmer’s response: seven German Jews reading the play. It is powerful and moving.

A brilliant reading of a brilliant play. Thank you.
We were marching, marching against Tony Blair’s war, maybe two millions of us, along the Embankment, three people walking behind us, Palestinians, I overheard one say “Now the British are marching perhaps they will do something” I felt proud that we were going to make a difference, we carried on walking and trusting in our numbers but no difference came. We were ignored.
