Members of the Board of Deputies, the largest body representing British Jews, have said they can no longer “turn a blind eye or remain silent” over the war in Gaza.
In a significant break with the board’s customary support for the Israeli government, the 36 signatories to an open letter published in the FT say “Israel’s soul is being ripped out”.

The US deputy special envoy to the Middle East said on Sunday that Washington has “unleashed Israel” by giving it “all the weapons it needs” to continue its war on Gaza.
In an interview with Fox News, Morgan Ortagus said that former US President Biden’s admin “made Israel fight with one hand tied behind their back”.
“They didn’t have the weapons they needed so they had to go back and get 30- and 40-year-old stockpiles of munitions,” she said.

It's really disappointing to see a lot of the unions that I'm part of (as in, I'm part of a union that's part of a bigger union cartel thing etc.) simply Do Not Say Anything about Gaza.

In public.
If I ask them by e-mail they'll point to some statement or other that they 'stand behind', but there's simply no trace of it on either website or social media.
