As violent attacks and riots continue to impact communities across the country, Board President Phil Rosenberg issued the following statement:
“As President of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, I unequivocally condemn the lawlessness and thuggery we have seen on our streets in recent days.
“Attacks on Muslims, Black people, members of other minorities, and our brave police officers, are totally unacceptable, and we stand in solidarity with everyone affected.
“As a society, we have to be better than this. We need a national conversation about how we promote respect for our country, respect for each other, how we tackle extremism, and how we build cohesion.
“The Board of Deputies will play its full part in this effort.”
– Phil Rosenberg, President
