A member of Preston’s Windrush and Muslim community says that a peace service held in the city to reflect on the Israeli-Gaza conflict diluted discussion of the situation to such an extent that it became devoid of all meaning.
Isa Cole told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that in trying to dodge potentially divisive subjects, Preston City Council - which helped organise the multi-faith gathering last week - had created a hollow event that it had not been worth attending. The service - staged in the foyer of the Guild Hall - saw representatives of faith groups from across the city come together to focus on the horror that has so far claimed the lives of around 1,400 Israelis and more than 8,000 Palestinians.
People start to wonder if there is an issue. “The only places I'm hearing about unrest in the UK are the likes of GB News, the Daily Mail, any right-wing outlet. They're the ones that keep talking about this spilling out, whereas I've been on Palestinian demonstrations for nearly 30 years now and I've always walked side-by-side with Jewish people, atheists, people from loads of different backgrounds.
