UK Jews demand Israeli ceasefire

Contrary to assertions made in some threads in this forum, the support for the Israeli action in Gaza among Jewish communities globally is far from unanimous.

A couple of days ago a protest in Canada made the news when Jewish women occupied the Israeli consulate in protest at what was happening. This letter is written by people describing themselves as "passionate supporters of Israel", who nevertheless think the current military campaign completely unjustified.

There is no conspiracy, Zionist or otherwise, involved in this horrific episode. The reality is in many ways less comfortable - we have on our hands an utterly barbaric regime obstinately set on a hugely bloody, disproportionate and utterly ineffective conflict against a largely defenceless civilian population.

There should be no excuses, and that the US government is actively offering them is shameful and inflammatory - but not conspiratorial, just stupid. Let's hope this particular protest contributes in some way to showing this madness up for what it is.
