Anti-Semitism is rife

sir – The projection of “from the river to the sea” on the Elizabeth Tower (report, February 23) and the Metropolitan Police’s dismissal of the event as not a criminal offence send a clear message that the anti-Israel, anti-Semitic movement can act with impunity as it seeks to use the pretext of Israel’s response to the heinous attack on October 7 to further its aims.

I left Britain for Israel 17 years ago, but, like expats around the world, it has not dulled my love for, and gratitude to, my home nation. However, I fear that I may be reminiscing about a country that is fast disappearing. It is time for people to declare that this has to stop. Terror and hatred cannot win.

SIR – The haranguing of MPs outside their homes by middle-class youngsters, whose greatest deprivation is being sent to boarding school, and octogenarians, who are most responsible and least affected by climate change, is cowardly – and such behaviour is a slight on the democracy they claim to support so fervently (“MPs’ offices need protest exclusion zones like those at abortion clinics, ministers told”, report, February 23). It is especially offensive, given that the UK is one of the leading lights in the West for decarbonisation.

The really dangerous countries, where Just Stop Oil could make a difference, are Russia and China, who have their feet firmly on the climatechange accelerator. I would admire and praise them if they protested in Moscow and Beijing, but they know full well that they’d meet the same fate as a genuine hero, Alexei Navalny.
