Why is it that Jews celebrating the festival of Passover have to purchase boxes of matzah covered with anti-Israel stickers? This photo was taken this week in @Morrisons in Birmingham’s Edgbaston Village. The person who took the photo, who said that they were extremely frightened and shaken, noted that most of the boxes were vandalised with these stickers. Not only that, but they said that boxes were also damaged, as though someone had “thrown them around”. They added: “I managed to get two boxes that were not vandalised or damaged, but only two. I wanted and needed to get more.” Can Jews no longer celebrate Jewish festivals without having to deal with anti-Israel vandals? The fact that British Jews are unable to buy kosher food without facing damage caused by anti-Israel extremists is completely unacceptable. It is a clear demonstration of how anti-Israel obsessiveness seeks to threaten the well-being of Jews in this country. Is it any wonder that, according to polling we released this year, more than four-fifths (84%) of British Jews agree that boycotts of Israeli artists, academics or businesses selling Israeli products constitute intimidation? @Morrisons, your Jewish customers are being made to feel unsafe in your supermarkets. Action is needed.
