SIR – Re proposed Bradford boycott of Israel. In the course of very nearly four millennia of recorded history repeated attempts have been made by mendacious and insane persons to destroy God’s ancient people, the Jews.

All have failed. Only the cast has changed, Pharoah, Haman, Ferrer/Torquemada, Hilter/Himmler/Goebbels, Stalin et al.

Two-thirds of European Jewry were systematically exterminated between 1933-45, culminating in state-sponsored genocide on an industrial scale.

A process that began with the boycott of Jewish-owned businesses. Lest we forget.
