Britain’s Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, has thanked King Charles, Prince William and cross-party political leaders for his or her help in wake of Hamas’ assault on Israel.
Addressing the solidarity rally in Trafalgar Sq., he stated: “It is at a time comparable to this that we uncover who our true pals are.”
He added: “Your majesty King Charles, thanks in your help. The Prince of Wales, thanks in your help. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, thanks in your help. The chief of the opposition, Sir Keir Starmer, thanks in your help. Sir Ed Davey, thanks in your help…
“It is at a time comparable to this that phrases do matter and to all our pals from whom up to now we have not heard a single phrase, your silence is deafening. Phrases do matter.
“Typically we hear reference to either side or the 2 sides however we ourselves know there are certainly two sides, one is nice and the opposite is evil. Israel makes use of her forces as a way to defend her residents whereas Hamas makes use of its residents to guard its forces. Phrases do matter.
“Those that fail to sentence, condone. Those that refuse to name Hamas terrorists enable the legitimising of their brutal deeds.”
