You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. Recently, I was invited to sit in on a Zoom debate with members of the National Jewish Assembly (NJA). The motion was: “This Assembly believes that the Jewish community has a long-term future in the UK.” NJA chairman Gary Mond called first one speaker then another. Some of them were elderly and not familiar with the technology (“You’re on mute, Alan. Unmute!”). Most of them had lived in Britain their whole lives; a few had distant memories of fleeing persecution. But all of them, I think, had a tribal muscle memory of what this moment might mean; should we stay or should we go?

Vast pro-Palestine marches, which had taken place at least every other weekend for six months, began when the corpses of the victims of October 7 were still unburied.
