New antisemitism guide
This guide is for Quakers to understand and recognise antisemitism and develop our skills at challenging it. It is based on advice for ecumenical accompaniers, who spend time accompanying Israelis and Palestinians in Israel and the West Bank and then return to their home countries to tell the public and policymakers about their experiences. It has been adapted for Quakers based in Britain rather than people talking about Israel and Palestine.
