It’s Brighton, in case anyone was wondering (although you could have probably guessed)
>“Any campaign against Israel is a campaign against British Jews. You can’t separate it,“ says Vicky Bhogal from the organisation Jewish and Proud.
Huh, and there was me thinking that most modern definitions of antisemitism involve some aspect of conflating Jewish people as a whole with the state of Israel.
I guess all those anti-Israel Jews in England must really hate Jewish people.
This articles bias is so very clearly shown already by the tag line its absolutely embarassing. Once again, conflating being against the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians with anti-semitism. This is getting so so so boring now.
I’m sure most people will treat them as any other door knocker, but shutting the door in their faces.

Sorry this is absolutely untrue. British Jews have nothing to do with Israel, they are British.
Seeing all jews a monolithic block who are really loyal to Israel is a antisemitic smear.
Cool when will they be calling for the boycot of Chinese products (Uyghur genocide), and Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, Morocco, and Senegal (Yemen war some 400,000 dead)?
Antisemitism? If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
> Seymour – he doesn’t want to give his second name
He does show his face, at least, which is a step up from the masked men who filmed themselves assaulting council workers when they removed the Palestinian flags they’d hung up where I live.
Edit: It seems someone, who probably lives many miles away from East London, wants to pretend that we did not have an influx of graffiti and flags being put up where I live and I did not witness such a council worker having to be protected by the police literally across the street from my house.
They, probably want to pretend that the perpetrators of this did not also file freedom of information requests to find out how much their vandalism had cost the council.
This would make me actively seek out Israeli products out of pure spite.
Pretty weird that some are so against people campaigning for the Palestinians but will happily overlook the amount of campaigning for Israel (lobbying, pressure groups, direct domestic/foreign government intervention) that also takes place
Like how do you logically have a problem with Seymour going door to door to make people aware about his pet cause, but you have no issue with Vicky and her organisation who organise rallies for their cause?
The first time in history someone knocks on your door to convince you NOT to buy something
Similar boycotts and campaigning took place to protest apartied in South Africa. I’m all for it; keep up the good work.
Israelis are an inventive bunch across a number of sectors and it’s nigh on impossible to avoid Israeli products.
But good luck to them if it feels like they are doing something, the boycott of Nestle is working well, they only made just shy of 5 billion quid net profit in the first half of last year.
