LONDON — “Never again is now” and “Bring them home now” were raised by thousands at a lively rally on Whitehall here Nov. 19 demanding the release of the hostages seized by Hamas Oct. 7.
The vigil was called by Christian Action Against Antisemitism and supported by a number of Jewish organizations. Members and supporters of the Communist League joined in.
The signs on the CL table, “Oppose Jew-hatred” and “Never again is now” drew much interest. Over 100 copies of a CL statement were distributed and two subscriptions to the Militant sold. Discussions were wide ranging — from thanks for our participation to why the fight against Jew-hatred is essential for the working class, part of building our unions and a class-struggle leadership that can take on and defeat the forces of reaction on the road to socialist revolution.
