PROGRESSIVE Jews have condemned a “shameful” Israel solidarity rally held on Sunday by the British Board of Deputies (BoD), which attracted far-right Islamophobe Tommy Robinson. 

The poorly attended demonstration outside the Israeli embassy — called in the wake of Israel’s 11-day bombardment of the Gaza Strip, which killed 248 people including 66 children — was organised by the BoD and the Zionist Federation.

About 1,500 supporters turned up, in sharp contrast to the 200,000 protesters who joined Saturday’s Free Palestine march in the capital.
