I’ve got a message for British Jews.

Tomorrow is the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street.

In 1936, those who hate Jews came to a Jewish area to intimidate and threaten us, and Jews and allies stood together and said no.

Nearly a century later and today’s incarnation of Jew-haters, the ‘anti-zionists’, are seeking to deny our very history, and deny our presence.

Just as our forebears took a stand, we also have to be there to say no.

With our community facing an existential threat these last few years, I’ve been heartened and dismayed by the varied reaction I’ve seen from British Jews.

Many have rallied, and when the antisemites came to Finchley and Edgware, we took to the streets as they had in the East End and said no. With the rise in attacks on Jews in the aftermath of the Oct 7th pogrom, we came from all over the UK to Central London to say no.

But many have kept their heads in the sand, and many of those who do recognise how close we are to the brink will only do something when the conditions are totally safe.

I get it. Standing up to those who want our destruction is scary. I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I hope it will be a peaceful, respectful event where we can safely pay tribute to those brave Jews and allies who made a difference at a pivotal moment.

This is another pivotal moment.

Jew-haters do not want us there, which is exactly why we must turn up. It’s Shabbat so many will have their phones off today. For those observing, tomorrow is still Simchat Torah. But for those who can and are willing, this is the time to stand and be counted. This is the time to be brave for your community and our place in this country. Our allies can’t and shouldn’t have to carry this burden alone.

Simply put, it is vital we stand up for past of British Jews, if we want to have a future as British Jews.

Please share. Please be there.

Aldgate East Tube Station. 12pm.

I’m hearing rumours that the FlyDubai Jihadist co-pilot escaped, made it to the UK and has already received British citizenship, social housing and a handshake from Ed Miliband.
