Chief Rabbi, we need a better way to fight antisemitism than attacking Labour   ROBERT COHEN Chief Rabbi Mirvis, what is the clear and present danger presented by the Labour party to Jews? Perhaps you can give me a rough idea of what I should expect, so I know whether to be ready to pack my bags when the election results come through. You are right when you say “the soul of our nation is at stake.” But you don't seem to care about how we treat the poorest and most vulnerable, how urgently we tackle climate change, or our attitude towards human rights and international law. From Robert Cohen's letter to the Jewish leader. https://mondoweiss.net/2019/11/chief-rabbi-we-need-a-better-way-to-fight-antisemitism-than-attacking-labour/?utm_source=Mondoweiss+List&utm_campaign=1782a20232-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_11_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b86bace129-1782a20232-398536457&mc_cid=1782a20232&mc_eid=235463292b Reflections on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people   HAIDAR EID Roger Waters on the importance of international solidarity with Palestinians: "The aim … is to focus world attention on the plight of the Palestinian people in Gaza in the hope that the scales will fall from the eyes of all, ordinary, decent people round the world, that they may see the enormity of the crimes that have been committed, and demand that their governments bring all possible pressure to bear on Israel to lift the siege." https://mondoweiss.net/2019/11/reflections-on-the-international-day-of-solidarity-with-the-palestinian-people/?utm_source=Mondoweiss+List&utm_campaign=1782a20232-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_11_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b86bace129-1782a20232-398536457&mc_cid=1782a20232&mc_eid=235463292b
