Martin Winstone's online talk on 17 June 2025
B’nai B’rith UK expresses its support for Israel following last night’s attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. We have long argued that the Iranian regime poses an existential threat to Israel and to the West, considering the often stated ambition of Tehran to annihilate the Jewish state. Israel has a right to protect itself pre-emptively from this threat, ensuring that its population can live without fear. We continue to offer our hand in friendship to the Iranian people, a very large majority of whom wish to live their lives free from the tyranny that has engulfed them since 1979. We hope the time will soon come when ties of historic friendship can be renewed between the Israeli and Iranian people.
following presentation at the AGM on 8 June 2025
B’nai B’rith UK is shocked and horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy workers in Washington DC last night. We send our deepest condolences to the families of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim and wish them long life at a time of enormous heartbreak. This should not be seen as an isolated act of political murder but the result of a 19 month campaign of vilification against Jews and Israelis, both in the US and around the world. Anti-Israel rallies have included calls to 'globalise the intifada' and attack Zionists in public spaces. These are not empty slogans but a call to arms and an incitement to antisemitic violence. We urge the authorities to take the strongest action against those who disseminate this incendiary rhetoric and to take all necessary measures to protect the Jewish community.
B'nai B'rith UK would like to extend its deepest condolences to Catholic communities throughout the world, especially those in the UK, at the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis. The Pope was a man of conviction and compassion who dedicated his life to the welfare of poor and marginalised communities. He also strove for reconciliation between people of different faiths and fostered deep and lasting ties with the Jewish community. We hope that his vision of building peace and understanding comes to pass in the Middle East and that his memory can inspire acts of compassion, tolerance and understanding.
