Again, the conflict in the Middle East has spilled over to tensions in the United Kingdom. Sadly, whilst the conflict in the Middle East rages, Jewish and Muslim communities are affected and the polarisation in opinions has been stark.

Muslims Against Antisemitism has twice initiated and co-ordinated major national newspaper campaigns ensuring that Muslims stand with Jewish communities. The first was when Jewish communites felt fear with the rise of antisemitism in a major political party in the United Kingdom, and now, once again, we have stood up for our values and are honoured to partner with the Jewish Leadership Council.

We cannot allow the voices of division to win and it is clear that there is much work to be done, given the damage to communal relations that this conflict has done and continues to do.

Which is why we must be responsive and pro-active. Which is why the voices of moderation, piece and social justice must speak for the care for both communities and for the need to ensure joint working to tackle hatred. This is no time to step back, but to step forward and to stand up for our values and our morals. Each person, their experiences and their dignity must be protected and maintained.

That is why we are asking for your help.

We are raising funds to continue to run the types of national newspaper campaigns that we have now tice run without any public calls for funding.

However, to create positive social change and to push back who seek to divide us, we are looking to run two further campaigns and we need your support for campaigns.
