An organisation in 'crisis': Jewish anti-Zionists hit back at Board of Deputies Submitted by Fleur Hargreaves on Fri, 06/19/2026 - 16:04 Pro-Palestine groups contest the Board of Deputies of British Jews' statement about its protest outside the Great Israeli Real Estate Event Demonstrators and counter-demonstrators face off outside the Great Israeli Real Estate Event (Maya Saad/MEE) Off Anti-Zionist Jewish groups have responded to the statement issued by the Board of Deputies of British Jews condemning its protest outside a Great Israeli Real Estate Event in London on Sunday. The demonstration was co-organised by the groups Jewish Anti-Zionist Action (JAZA), International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) and the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) to oppose the sale of land and properties, including illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, promoted at the event. In its statement, the Board of Deputies attempted to claim the event, which was hosted by the Edgware United Synagogue in northwest London, did not market any real estate over the Green Line - the 1949 armistice line separating Israel from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.  The board said the protests were “wholly unjustified” and intended to “harass and intimidate members of the Jewish community”, without acknowledging that many protesters were from the local Jewish community themselves.
