Organizations that agree on very little apparently agree that Jews should not be afraid.
But what was billed as a forceful show of conviction and solidarity became an excruciating show of weakness and apathy. The entire exercise was worse than meaningless. It was a self-aggrandizing, feel-good demonstration spearheaded by some of the most famous brands in American Jewish leadership, along with many smaller organizations that typically accomplish far more with tiny budgets and little fanfare.

Derek James links the press attacks on the mass demonstrations in solidarity with the Palestinians to a wider Tory offensive
For anyone who has been paying even the most cursory attention to British politics over the last few years, some recent headlines on ‘the rising tide of anti-Semitism’ will have an all too familiar ring. Thus, on May 25
The Sunday Times - ostensibly reporting on the huge demonstrations in support of the Palestinian people - chose to focus on “placards with anti-Jewish hatred”, which “mar” the “protest by tens of thousands”.
In support of its claims, the newspaper cited four home-made placards which described “Israel, the new Nazi state”, defined the attacks on Gaza as “Holocaust part 2”, called on the Israeli state to “Stop doing what Hitler did to you” and argued that “Netanyahu surpasses Hitler in barbarism”.
