ON 9 AUGUST 2014, 150 000 protesters marched in London in solidarity
with the people of Gaza who were suffering a barbaric assault by Israel
which had killed over 2000 people, most of them civilians, and over 400
of them children.
Numerous Jewish groups joined the march. They marched as Jews to show
their opposition to the state of Israel, which for 66 years has
endlessly stolen Palestinian land and imposed the most brutal occupation
and siege on Palestinians. Jewish marchers saying "not in my name"
included, the Jewish Bloc, The International Jewish Anti-Zionist
Network, Jews for Justice for Palestinians and Jews Against the war on
Gaza.
These Jewish marchers were part of a long and honourable tradition. Many
prominent Jewish figures over the past century -- from Albert Einstein
to holocaust survivor Primo Levi -- have opposed the idea of an
ethnically exclusive Israeli state.
