Seymour – he doesn’t want to give his second name – is one of the organisers of a grassroots initiative to create what they’re calling an apartheid-free zone in Brighton and Hove.
They’ve come together to express solidarity with the Palestinian people, but the accusation of many in Brighton’s Jewish community is that the actions of the group could encourage antisemitism.
