We fight, We win
To be a Jew in Britain today is to feel as if we have truly stepped through the looking glass. It has been almost a month since Hamas violently massacred 1,400 innocent civilians in southern Israel on Oct 7, torturing families next to their Shabbat tables, raping women among the bodies of their dead friends and murdering children and babies.
In the days after 260 people were murdered at a music festival, we expected there may be vigils similar to those held after 90 people were murdered at the Bataclan concert in Paris, 49 were shot at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando or 22 killed at the Manchester Arena concert bombing.
When 230 people – among them defenseless pensioners, children and babies – were taken hostage into terrorist territory, we assumed the calls for their return would be deafening. Tens of thousands of people in Britain and other Western countries did indeed pour into the streets, but not to grieve. Many chose to celebrate and glorify these brutal atrocities. These marches are now a regular occurrence in London – and this weekend, again, they will don their keffiyehs, wave their flags and call for Palestine to be freed.
Freed from what? From Hamas, the autocratic, racist, sexist, homophobic, terrorist death cult that won power in 2006 and has refused to give it up since? Freed from the corrupt, wealthy politicians who count their millions abroad while half their people live in decades-old refugee camps? Freed from Gazan leaders who squandered the opportunity to control their own borders after Israel’s disengagement in 2005 and have repeatedly rejected the offers of peace and land that would create an autonomous Palestinian state?
