Protest marches and the fight against antisemitism in Britain | Letters

Readers respond to articles in the wake of the Golders Green stabbings and suggestions that pro-Palestinian protests could be banned Banning protests will not make Jews safer (Some pro-Palestinian protests could be banned amid attacks on British Jews, 2 May). I am Jewish and I no longer feel safe walking the streets of north London where I live. But I don’t blame the pro-Palestine marches. I blame the Israeli government. In the wake of the attack on Jews in Golders Green, suggestions that pro-Palestinian protests should be banned are dangerously misplaced. Antisemitism is real and rising, and violence against Jews must be confronted without hesitation. But the protests are not the primary driver of that fear.
