A video featuring the voices of “young unapologetic Zionists” has been released in an attempt to challenge the claim that the overwhelming of majority of British Jewish students oppose plans to extend Israel's sovereignty over the West Bank.
Harry Markham, National Director of Magshimey Herut UK, told the JC the near six-minute long recording had been circulated on social media ''in order to counter the myth that there is an anti-annexation consensus amongst young British Jews''.
It follows an ongoing campaign led by the left-wing UK group Yachad, which has released videos and orchestrated petitions signed by up to 1,000 British Jews voicing opposition to the annexation plans. Together with US lobby group J-Street, Yachad yesterday launched a new global campaign to oppose annexation, called Global Jewish Coalition.
The Facebook video shows 16 student and Zionist activists voicing support for the plans outlined by Benjamin Netanyahu in response to President Trump's so-called Middle East peace plan.
