WE ARE writing as members of the Jewish community who regularly join the national pro-Palestinian protests in central London. A few of us are observant and members of other synagogues, most of us are secular. What we share is our Jewish heritage and Jewish identity.

However, we demand that recognition and empathy be extended towards members of our community who hold pro-Palestinian views.
