Israel-Hamas war: Tel Aviv ready to ‘wipe’ Iran from Earth if Tehran attacks | World | News

Britain’s Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, has thanked King Charles, Prince William and cross-party political leaders for their support in wake of Hamas’ attack on Israel.

Addressing the solidarity rally in Trafalgar Square, he said: “It’s at a time such as this that we discover who our true friends are.”

He added: “Your majesty King Charles, thank you for your support. The Prince of Wales, thank you for your support. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, thank you for your support. The leader of the opposition, Sir Keir Starmer, thank you for your support. Sir Ed Davey, thank you for your support…

“It’s at a time such as this that words do matter and to all our friends from whom so far we haven’t heard a single word, your silence is deafening. Words do matter.

“Sometimes we hear reference to both sides or the two sides but we ourselves know there are indeed two sides, one is good and the other is evil. Israel uses her forces in order to protect her citizens while Hamas uses its citizens to protect its forces. Words do matter.

“Those who fail to condemn, condone. Those who refuse to call Hamas terrorists allow the legitimising of their brutal deeds.”
