British Jews declare illegal settlements ‘not in their name’
THE representative body of the British Jewish community came under fire yesterday from hundreds of British Jews who demanded to know why the organisation had refused to condemn Israel’s continued construction of illegal settlements.

Writing in the Jewish Chronicle newspaper, they demanded to know why the board opposed UN resolution 2334, condemning Israel settlements.
