Or, as one reader who wrote to me this week suggested, people are “conflicted” because the likes of Benjamin Netanyahu regularly conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, and so, “by implication, supporting Jews implies support for Israel”. I credit that reader with honesty: I suspect many of those now silent are hushed by the fear that supporting Jews stabbed in Golders Green will somehow be read as backing the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza. Better to say nothing instead.

But since when did progressives take their lead on anything from Netanyahu? If you’re a supporter of the Palestinians and you don’t like the conflation of opposition to Israel with antisemitism, here’s a really easy way to reject that conflation: take a stand now against antisemitism and in support of British Jews.
