Britain’s largest Jewish LGBT charity has pulled out of London’s Pride parade for the second year in a row amid safety concerns.

KeshetUK said British LGBT Jews had not been given reassurance they would be “physically and psychologically safe” if they participated in the march from Hyde Park to Westminster on July 5.

It follows concerns pro-Palestinian protests near synagogues in recent months, which have caused the cancellation of events on Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath day, and forced worshippers to stay at home during large-scale demonstrations.

Meanwhile, at last year’s Pride parade, the group Queers for Palestine also walked through Piccadilly chanting: “There is no pride in genocide.”

The Jewish charity’s bosses said they were forced to withdraw after organisers allegedly rejected requests for measures to ensure the safety of Jewish participants, including anti-Semitism awareness training for stewards.

KeshetUK has been organising the Jewish bloc at Pride in London for nearly a decade, and up to 200 LGBT Jews have participated in the parade in recent years.
