Stop the killings. Join the protest.

The Board of Deputies is organising a ‘vigil’/protest outside the Palestinian Mission (Embassy) on Tuesday 13th. Oct. at 5.00pm, to protest that the Palestinian Authority is not condemning the reactions to the increasingly harsh and violent repression of the Palestinians. We, together with other Jewish groups, will be there to demonstrate our opposition to the Occupation. It is important that as many of us as possible are there. We are liaising with the police.

We will be meeting at 4.30pm outside The Lyric, Hammersmith. Our placards will read “Stop the killing – End the Occupation” and “End the Occupation – Stop the killing”.

 

From the Board of Deputies

Update on the situation in IsraelOver the past few weeks, Israelis have been subject to indiscriminate terror attacks throughout the country.President Jonathan Arkush said: “The Board utterly condemns the sharp surge in violence perpetrated by Palestinians towards Israeli citizens in the past week. The failure of the Palestinian Authority to condemn these acts of murder is nothing short of disgraceful. The Israeli Government must be allowed to take the action it needs to protect Israeli citizens. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of these horrific crimes.”As these horrific attacks take place, the Palestinians continue to incite violence against Israelis. The Palestinian Authority has condemned Israel for killing terrorists responsible for the attacks and continues to exploit tensions surrounding the Temple Mount.Communal responseNext Tuesday the Board is taking part in a communal vigil and protest outside the Palestinian Authority’s UK Mission in Hammersmith (5 Galena Road, W6 0LT, London). We will come together to commemorate those we have lost and also to protest the ongoing violence and incitement.The event begins at 5pm, please join us if you can.
