Following on from the appalling antisemitic videos, which were widely shared yesterday, two males have been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated common assault. CST would like to thank Greater Manchester Police for their support and swift action in this case.

The Board, Jewish Leadership Council and @cstuk.bsky.social have released a joint statement with regards to the @metpoliceuk decision to impose conditions on this Saturday's 'National March for Palestine':
A joint statement from the Board of Deputies  of British Jews, the Jewish Leadership Council and Community Security Trust on the Met Police decision to impose conditions on this Saturday's 'National March for Palestine'.

It reads as follows:

"This Saturday's National March for Palestine must not take place in the vicinity of the BBC given its proximity to a synagogue and the impact on worshippers.

We support the right to peaceful protest and are not asking for this march to be banned. However, we support the Metropolitan Police in imposing conditions to protect those who are attending Central London Synagogues. 

Other routes and days are available. This march must not be allowed in the vicinity of a synagogue at any time on Saturday."

CST welcomes the conviction and sentencing of two girls for what was an appalling series of assaults in which antisemitism clearly played an important role. This case is made even more shocking by the ages of the offenders who were responsible. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...
