You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

On #HolocaustMemorial it is more important than ever to #LightTheDarkness. Antisemitism, prejudice against refugees, disabled people, gypsies, those of different sexualities and people of many other faiths and none is on the rise. It is not enough to solely remember we must stand in allyship

OPINION: Criticism of the Israeli government’s policies, or those of any government, are legitimate. But hate speech and incitement of violence against any group is where we must draw the line.
