The writer addresses fellow anti racist activists to question their absence from a recent rally held in support of Jewish communities facing rising antisemitism in Britain. She describes heavy security, record levels of antisemitic incidents, and a growing sense of fear among Jews, arguing that solidarity requires showing up when minorities are under threat. Many attendees, mostly Jewish women, expressed gratitude but also sadness that such a gathering was necessary.

She contrasts the quiet anxiety of the rally with the energy of pro Palestinian marches, and criticises political leaders and institutions for what she sees as years of inaction over Islamist extremism and antisemitic rhetoric. Participants called for concrete measures rather than symbolic gestures, including confronting the role of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and extremist ideology. The author argues that Jews should not be required to accept only certain allies before receiving support.

The piece also condemns what it describes as institutional silence across universities, trade unions, workplaces and civil society, where many Jews report hostility. The writer rejects the idea that opposing antisemitism prevents criticism of Israel, and denounces double standards that link British Jews to the actions of a foreign state. She concludes by urging feminists and anti racist activists to stand with Jewish women without conditions, insisting that a movement that fails to confront antisemitism within its own ranks betrays its principles.
