Member of UK Jewish body resigns over failure to call out Israel on Gaza
Briefly

Daniel Grossman resigned from the UK's Board of Deputies, expressing discontent over its inability to represent diverse opinions within the Jewish community on Israel’s actions in Gaza. Facing disciplinary action for voicing concerns, Grossman criticized the board for not condemning perceived atrocities committed by Israel. He highlighted a growing dissatisfaction among British Jews and denounced the board's efforts to suppress debate, arguing that many do not see Israel's military actions as justified self-defense. This resignation signifies a larger shift in opinion within the Jewish community regarding its stance on Israel.
They are refusing to explicitly and publicly condemn Israel's genocidal assault in Gaza... Increasing numbers of people are recognising that Israel's actions in Gaza cannot be justified.
The diversity of opinion in the Jewish community is becoming increasingly clear, and the Board of Deputies is failing to represent this growing divergence.
