Statement on 7th October protest outside Board of Deputies office

Board of Deputies President Phil Rosenberg has reacted to a protest outside the Board of Deputies office today, coinciding with the 3rd anniversary of the 7th October terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas.

He said: “On the anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, masked protesters demonstrated outside our office today, chanting about “intifada” and harassing our neighbours. We are grateful to the Metropolitan police for their swift response and making arrests on the spot.

“We will not be threatened or intimidated by this small and extremist minority of British society. We will continue undeterred to advocate for the Jewish people, here and around the world, and to stand up for peace and security for Israelis, Palestinians and the wider Middle East.”
