Does not speak for majority of Jews in UK

majority of British Jews, the Zionist Federation Pledge for Peace: Direct Negotiatio­ns, Dialogue Not Boycotts, Support Coexistenc­e. Alan Blumenthal Deputy Chairman, Rep Council Birmingham and West Midland Kings Heath, Birmingham

Howdare the Jews who placed the advert in last week’s — who would run to Israel if they were in danger — say that they represent the majority of us.

We have over 17 family members who have been in the Israeli Army to defend Israel’s right to exist.

Those who signed the ad are a speck in the ocean compared with the many here who have families in Israel, who have seen many incidents where their lives were put in danger by Palestinia­n hate in actions set out to maim and kill Israelis going about their daily lives.

The signatorie­s should be ashamed of themselves. Mr and Mrs. Woolf.

We refute the allegation that the great majority of Jews are opposed to the settlement project in the advert in last week’s and signed by the usual suspects. Most British Jews are against rockets being fired into Israel and all the lies and false allegation­s being made against Israel all the time.

We are proud of Israel’s democracy — the only democracy in the entire region. We are against the Arab states that are all military dictatorsh­ips or feudal kingdoms and against their murders of Christians and Yazidis. Valerie Cocks (Lady Cocks of Hartcliffe) and Marion Davis London SE1
