‘Enough is enough’ – Leading British Jewish body criticises Israel
https://www.channel4.com/news/enough-is-...ses-israel
INTRO: Health officials in Gaza say that another 22 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes. One of those strikes, in Jabalia in the north, killed three young children from one family. It’s scenes like this that have prompted thirty-six members of the largest body representing Jewish people in the UK to condemn Israel’s renewed offensive in Gaza. The members of the Board of Deputies of British Jews published an open letter saying they feared for Israel’s future. We spoke to one of the authors of that letter, Baron Frankal and asked him how difficult it was to speak out. (MORE - video)

The original source or meaning of "Enough is enough"
(2019) One year after UK Jews said ‘Enough is Enough,’ has anything changed?

EXCERPTS: On March 26, 2018, British Jews took part in an unprecedented demonstration in Parliament Square against an anti-Semitism crisis which has engulfed the Labour party. [...] The demonstration – held under the rallying cry of “Enough is Enough” – has done little to ease those tensions. Instead, developments over the past year have simply heightened the anger of many Jews, and stoked their fears about what a Corbyn premiership might mean.
Those developments include: a series of further revelations last summer about Corbyn’s alleged links to terrorists, Holocaust deniers and anti-Semites; the party’s initial refusal to adopt in full the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism; and what critics describe as a “revolving door” disciplinary policy which has seen members accused of Jew-hate suspended from the party and then quietly readmitted.
[...] The reported response of the party’s general secretary, Corbyn-ally Jennie Formby was that it was “impossible to eradicate” anti-Semitism and it would be “dishonest to claim to be able to do so.” The response provoked outrage among moderates and appears to have been the final straw for some.
[...] That abuse continued relentlessly for months...
