BBUK participated in the AJEX parade on 17 November 2024

BBUK • November 22, 2024

Jeremy Havardi, Director of the Bureau of International Affairs, reports that he was honoured on Sunday to lead B’nai B’rith UK at the annual AJEX parade at the Cenotaph. He also attended the pre-march reception with some stirring speeches by, among others, the Chief Rabbi. The main theme of the march was ‘Standing tall’ and the march commemorated the enormous role played by Jewish servicemen to HM’s Armed Forces.



2024 is a highly significant anniversary: the 80th anniversary of the D Day landings and Monte Cassino.


Jeremy says: “But this march, like the one last year, happened under the shadow of the 7th October attacks, the ongoing wars in the Middle East and the spike in antisemitism, both in the UK and abroad. It has served as a reminder that standing tall in today’s fractured world is so vital.”

B’nai B’rith condemns in the strongest terms the abhorrent terror attack this morning in Jerusalem which has so far claimed six lives. We send our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and wish the injured a swift recovery. We also salute the heroism of first responders and soldiers who prevented an even greater tragedy this morning. For too long, Israel has faced the daily reality of terror attacks and the murderous incitement that accompanies them. Instead of recognising a Palestinian state that would be seen as a reward for terror, western governments should stand with Israelis in their just fight against those who wish them harm

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.
