Senior Church of England Bishop Condemns Israel Apartheid Week
(Jewish News-UK) Dr. Michael Ipgrave, the Bishop of Lichfield and Chair of the Council of Christians and Jews, said this week: Israel "Apartheid Week is not a helpful or constructive way to address the serious challenges of Palestinians and Israelis. Over time it has become a source of great tension between Jewish students and others on UK campuses. Rather than informing the dialogue around this complex issue, it can often close down dialogue and leave Jewish students feeling intimidated, vulnerable and insecure at a time of rising anti-Semitism in the UK and beyond."
