British Jews ‘caught in crossfire of public opinion this Holocaust Memorial Day’
British Jews are feeling conflicted and caught in the crossfire of public opinion ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day as the conflict in the Middle East rages on, a rabbi has said.
Rabbi Jonathan Romain described a “really strange situation” where Jews are normally seen as victims when the world marks the annual commemoration of the Holocaust which took place in the Second World War.
He said this year, with the Israel- war, parts of British society now see as “perpetrators of violence”.
