45 UK Jews back Palestinians
12 April 2012
Prominent Jews living in London have publicly renounced their right to Israeli residency and citizenship because of the Israeli government's "barbaric" policies towards Palestinians.
In an open letter to a national newspaper today, 45 Jewish-raised poets, writers, film producers, academics and businessmen say it is morally wrong that they are bestowed citizenship rights while others are terrorised or forced to flee their homeland. Led by writer and poet Michael Rosen, the signatories say they were all born and raised outside Israel but will only ever consider living there if the rights of the Palestinians are respected.
