Imagine having armed guards at Sunday services, or keeping the location of your church coffee morning a secret for fear of abuse or violent attack. It may seem unimaginable, but this is the reality for many Jews in the UK. Now, more than ever, Christians must show solidarity, says James Roberts
The recent terror attacks in Israel and the ensuing conflict across Israel and Gaza have shocked the world. For all people caught up in the conflict, this is a terrifying and heart-breaking time.

Jewish communities may be targeted with abuse and indiscriminately blamed for the actions of Israel at this time.
