We must not import Middle East conflict tensions to UK, warns rabbi

A rabbi has said that, while there is a concern events in the Middle East can impact relations in the UK, people must not give in to fear

He described the worry among almost 100 people who gathered at Maidenhead synagogue at a meeting on Sunday evening to share in their concern for the fallout from the large-scale attack by Hamas over the weekend. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis says there isn’t a Jewish family that hasn’t been affected by the scenes in the Middle East

Rabbi Romain has spoken with the local imam at Maidenhead Mosque, saying: “We both agreed this is not a Jewish-Muslim problem but a political one, that our job is to help mitigate the situation, not to inflame it and the conflict happening over there should not be imported here”.
