UK Jewish community unites against the English Defense League
Jews against EDL launch unity voice
The “Not in our name” group’s founding pledge states: “The Jewish community has always been at the forefront of anti-fascism. From Cable Street to defeating the BNP at the ballot box, we have been unafraid to speak out against those who seek to spread fear and hatred in our communities.
“Now our community faces a new threat. The EDL claims to be our allies in the fight against extremism. In reality, they are violent racists with BNP members and Nazi sympathisers among their ranks.
“It is time for the Jewish community to come together as one to expose the EDL as the racist thugs they are.”
Here’s the group’s website: Jews Against the EDL
