The #Muslim Council of #Britain (MCB) has taken aim at the #UK government for promoting “inaccurate and counterproductive” narratives linking pro-Palestine marches to antisemitic violence.
In a statement on Sunday, the MCB condemned the stabbing of two #Jewish men in a London neighbourhood with a large Jewish population, saying it stands “in #solidarity with the Jewish community facing an abhorrent rise in #antisemitism”.
The group added that “attempts to frame British Muslims, or all who advocate for Palestinian rights, as collectively responsible for rising antisemitism are inaccurate and counterproductive”.
