Hate marches and Holocaust denial: Jewish community calls for action against anti-Semitism in Britain

Naomi Ebenstein, an 82-year-old Holocaust survivor, has condemned recent acts of anti-Semitism as “shameful” and a “victory” for those who hate Jews and deny the Holocaust. She emphasized the need for the world to take action against this scourge, especially in light of the swastikas raised in London.

The growing pro-Palestinian protests have raised concerns among Jewish leaders and communities about hate marches that threaten their safety and wellbeing. The editor-in-chief of the Jewish Chronicle newspaper called for tougher action from police to protect its members from hate crimes.

Lord Pickles, a proponent of a national Holocaust memorial near the Houses of Parliament, expressed his dismay at seeing his monument being covered in a tarp out of fear of vandalism. He questioned whether Britain had become so afraid that it was hiding its monuments rather than expecting protesters to respect them.

In response to these troubling events, there is a growing call for action against anti-Semitism and solidarity among leaders and survivors alike. They are calling on everyone to stand up against all forms of discrimination and fight for a better future where no one is judged based on their religion or ethnicity.
