British-Jewish activists staged a walkout at a Zionist Federation event at a London synagogue on Thursday, held to mark Israeli Ambassador to the U.K. Tzipi Hotovely’s first year in the job. The activists, members of Na’amod: British Jews Against Occupation, disrupted the event shortly after it began, raising banners which read “Racism isn’t kosher” and “No hechsher [kosher stamp] for Hotovely.” “Hotovely’s disgusting views and actions have no place within our community,” said Cloe Fernandez Barnes, one of the activists who participated in the walkout. “They contradict our values, particularly those of love and justice found at the heart of Jewish texts… We must stop platforming racists if we want freedom for all in Israel and Palestine.”
