Strong message
Though the excesses of language in the original report have been modified, the unacceptable underlying message remains unaltered.
The recent joint statement from the Church and the Jewish community acknowledged that “there is an equal concern amongst both communities for justice and peace”, but sadly the revised report will still contribute to the climate in which Jewish people in Scotland overwhelmingly report to us that they feel uncomfortable, alienated and unsafe.
