Counter-Demonstration Planned
A group called “Dayenu!” will be demonstrating in London in support of Israel on June 9. This is in response to a planned anti-Israeli march by ‘Enough’.
The Dayenu demonstration is organised by Jonathan Hoffman of Totteridge (Sarelnik and veteran campaigner). Mr Hoffman said “Our group includes Jews, Christians, people of other faiths and indeed of no faith. The one thing we have in common is that we cannot bear the thought of thousands of misinformed and misled marchers on the streets of our capital city with free rein to attack Israel . Our name - ‘Dayenu’ - is in response to ‘Enough’.
We also say ‘Enough’ - enough lies, enough Kassams, enough anti-Zionism, enough anti-Semitism, enough boycotts, enough blinkered attacks on Israel regardless of what is happening elsewhere in the world. We are expecting 50 or more and we will be telling the “Enough!” marchers the truth - how Israel is prepared to exchange land for a secure peace but also how Israel gave back Gaza, only to be rewarded with Kassam rockets raining down on Sderot.
“Our demonstration is supported by StandWithUs and the Centre for Vigilant Freedom. Due to the timing, the communal organisations have been limited in the support they feel able to give but we are grateful to them too.
The demonstration will be from 2.30pm at the junction of Arundel Street and The Strand. Police permission has been granted and the police will ensure that public order is maintained.
