"Religious leaders from across Britain have united with prominent figures from business, sport, and media to declare antisemitism "a problem for all of us to fix", ahead of a major rally in support of the Jewish community outside Downing Street on Sunday. The open letter, coordinated by the Together Coalition, follows a series of attacks on Jewish individuals, including the stabbing of two men in Golders Green on 29 April."
"The letter starkly warns: "The spectre of Jewish people being stabbed at random in the street, killed defending their synagogues and Jewish infrastructure being firebombed feel like a nightmare from another time. A throwback to grainy images of somewhere else, not delivered in technicolour from the streets of London in 2026.""
"It asserts that this is not an issue solely for the Jewish community to address, but a collective responsibility. "As leaders of British organisations with different views on faith, politics, foreign policy and pretty much everything else we come together today to send a message to our Jewish brothers and sisters. This count"
Religious leaders across Britain joined prominent figures from business, sport, and media to declare antisemitism a problem requiring collective action. The open letter, coordinated by the Together Coalition, came ahead of a major rally supporting the Jewish community outside Downing Street. The letter referenced recent attacks on Jewish individuals, including the stabbing of two men in Golders Green on 29 April. It warned that fears of random stabbings, deaths while defending synagogues and Jewish infrastructure, and firebombing of Jewish sites evoke a past nightmare. The signatories stated antisemitism is not solely for the Jewish community to address, but a responsibility shared by all.
