BRITISH RABBIS LETTER TO ISRAEL:‘War can never be waged for revenge or expansion’
"As Jewish religious leaders in Britain, we too are horrified by the Israeli government’s relaunch of attacks against Gaza.
We feel it is our duty to remind Israel’s leaders of the core Jewish teaching that war can never be waged for revenge or expansion. The Israeli government must uphold international law and allow humanitarian aid
into Gaza.
We stand with all those in Israel-Palestine seeking to bring about a just and lasting peace. We share in their call for an end to the bombing; an end to the siege; and the safe release of the hostages."

️JUST IN:Two Youth Demand activists disrupted the men’s elite race at the London marathon this morning before they were quickly tackled to the ground by multiple police officers. The actionists sporting ‘Stop Arming Israel’ t-shirts called for an end to the British government’s complicity in the war on Gaza as well as for them to stop supplying weapons to Israel.

BREAKING
A HUGE VICTORY FOR DEMOCRACY IN THE UK TODAY
Today the Court of Appeal delivered a resounding vindication of protest rights by unanimously dismissing the Government’s challenge and confirming that the June 2023 regulations which allowed police to clamp down on any demonstration causing “more than minor” disruption were made in clear defiance of Parliament’s will. @libertyhq unwavering fight for justice has now secured victory not once but twice, first in the High Court and again today, establishing an unassailable precedent that no minister may sidestep proper scrutiny to erode our fundamental freedoms.
Liberty’s challenge revealed how former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, having failed to win parliamentary approval for tougher protest controls in the Public Order Bill, resorted to secondary legislation to impose virtually unlimited powers on the police. Five judges across two separate hearings have now declared that the phrase “serious disruption” inherently demands a high threshold and cannot be diluted to mean anything more than trivial inconvenience.
This triumph belongs to every citizen whose voice was threatened by these heavy‑handed measures. It belongs to the climate activists, human rights defenders and everyday demonstrators who dared to stand up and be heard. It belongs to Greta Thunberg and the hundreds arrested under the unlawful regulations—each case now demanding urgent review to undo the injustice inflicted upon them.
Liberty’s victory today is nothing less than a victory for democracy itself. It reaffirms that our system of government rests on the rule of law, on the clear boundary that Parliament sets, and on the principle that power must never be wielded without accountability. Ministers who seek to bypass debate and override rights will find themselves checked by independent courts committed to protecting liberty.
Now the Government faces a simple imperative: accept this judgment in full, immediately scrap the unlawful regulations, review every arrest and prosecution conducted under their authority, and embark on a comprehensive overhaul of protest law that respects the right to dissent rather than criminalising it.
Thanks to Liberty’s tenacity, this watershed moment sends a clarion call to all who cherish free expression: our rights cannot be diminished by decree, our voices cannot be silenced by back‑door legislation, and our democracy will endure because citizens and organisations like Liberty stand ready to defend it.
