While convention dictates that the chief rabbi stays away from party politics, Mirvis said, challenging racism went beyond politics. “How complicit in prejudice would a leader of her majesty’s opposition have to be to be considered unfit for office?” he said. “Would associations with those who have incited hatred against Jews be enough? Would describing as ‘friends’ those who endorse the murder of Jews be enough? It seems not. When December 12 arrives, I ask every person to vote with their conscience. Be in no doubt, the very soul of our nation is at stake.”That the Chief Rabbi should be compelled to make such an unprecedented statement at this time ought to alert us to the deep sense of insecurity and fear felt by many British Jews: pic.twitter.com/DNxr0Qxht5
