Jews Against Boris
Rivkah Brown is a member of the campaign group Jews Against Boris and told the Times of Israel on 18 November 2019:
- “My personal relationship with the Labour Party has been complicated by the events of the last few years, and I understand why many in my community feel unable to vote for them.
- “However all racisms are interconnected and Jews cannot be safe while other minorities are under threat. Boris Johnson has incited a hateful and divisive politics that endangers all marginalised people. That is why being part of a group of British Jews who show solidarity with other communities is so important at this election.
- "I'm proud to campaign for the working-class Muslim immigrant, Ali Milani, who is – in an incredible act of poetic justice – going to defeat our born-to-rule Islamophobic prime minister."[3]
Channel 4 News
Interviewed by Channel 4 News on 26 November 2019,[4] Rivkah Brown told Krishnan Guru-Murthy that the Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, was wrong to focus on Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party over antisemitism, when the Tories are the real existential threat to the religious minorities in Britain:
- "The Jewish communal leadership has derelicted its duty to solidarity with all minorities — and in a way that's not just unprincipled, it's impractical."[5]
