Jews have been living in Jerusalem way before British people were living in London.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I would be heartbroken if I ever thought that people in the Jewish community thought that Britain was no longer a safe place for them.
I feel that the Jews have always had a special connection to this part of the world, which in geographical terms was called Palestine for so many centuries.
Jewish and Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem are interlaced one with the other.
I could not cherish London and not value Jewish London. The contribution of Jews to London is immense - politically, economically, culturally, intellectually, philanthropically, artistically.
Jerusalem is the holiest place for the Jewish people.
Britain has been good to the Jews, and the Jews have been good for Britain.
I often hear them accuse Israel of Judaizing Jerusalem. That's like accusing America of Americanizing Washington, or the British of Anglicizing London. You know why we're called 'Jews'? Because we come from Judea.
I don't think the area of Jerusalem should be part of a Jewish state; it belongs to all people, to Christians and Muslims and the Jewish people.
Ours is a country built more on people than on territory. The Jews will come from everywhere: from France, from Russia, from America, from Yemen... Their faith is their passport.
Jews have been in Egypt since Biblical times, and Alexandria had once been, at least partially, a Jewish city.
