Israeli Store Jericho forced out of Braehead Shopping Centre in Glasgow by a Anti-Jewish Group

Personally, and on behalf of Scottish Friends of Israel, I sincerely apologise for maybe not doing enough to help the Mr Nissan, the owner of Jericho Store in Braehead Shopping Centre in Glasgow to counter the Nazi-style racism and anti-Semitism that has forced his store out of the Braehead Centre. We, along with the Scottish, Jewish & non-Jewish, Community, have sat on our hands for too long and have done little other than talk the talk that has so dismally failed.

 

Others can apologise for their own failings.

 

Mr Nissan has indicated that he wish now to concentrate on his business branch in Aberdeen but I also fear the worst for that location. 

The SPSC  are in Jubilant mood;

They are calling for concentrated efforts against the Jewish Store Kedem who I believe may be back at the St Enoch Shopping Centre, Glasgow in force – but for how long! And Aberdeen will not be immune.

Without the support of decent society, who in turn need active support of the political establishment and the police, Jews in Scotland face a bleak future. The Church of Scotland and their partners in the various anti-Jewish organisations will be emboldened by this little success at Braehead. Little for them maybe but devastating for Mr Nissan.

 

I do not speak or represent the Jewish community in Scotland who may not agree with my views on ways of defeating the SPSC and other Extremist groups by being actively involved on the ground and in numbers to counter their demonstrations. We in Scotland and elsewhere are getting a message and we ignore it at our peril!

"Stand up to what matters 

Stand up and fight for what is true 

For within your journey 

Justice will see you through

Stand up to what matters 

Find a way to make it through 

Never give up fighting 

for the belief that is within you

One person can make a difference 

One heart can heal the next 

One song can fill the emotions 

One prayer can be heard at last"

Fight for rights, Mystery Rose.
