Two readers have said that the big rally for Israel sponsored by Britain's leading Jewish body is going forward this Sunday. Looks official to me.

Earlier today we reported based on a press release using the BoD logo that they had cancelled it out of concern for the "besieged" people of Gaza. I'm assuming that this is untrue. Apologies to our readers and the BoD. Damn internet. Thanks to Sarah Anne Minkin.

    Yeah, they're expecting 40,000–dwarfing the headscarf brigade marches

    "The Board calls for an immediate ceasefire, immediate negotiations between Israel and Hamas, and for lifting the economic blockade of Gaza"

    The Board of Deputies have a long hiostory of trying to stop people talk to Hamas. This in itself made me think it was a hoax.
