Dear Safranim
May I suggest that you visit <http://www.cablestreet.uk/#.V_RzrlIlfPs.mailto> http://www.cablestreet.uk/#.V_RzrlIlfPs.mailto , a website where details of the Battle of Cable Street are chronicled. The world at large, including the Jewish world at large, does not appear to be aware of this dramatic event that stopped the then ascendant British fascists in their tracks. The British Union of Fascists under the full protection of the British police had announced their intention to march in their black-shirted, jack-booted uniforms, through London's East End Jewish enclave. The London East End Jews said NO! and they, with the help of other local anti-fascists, won the bloody battle that ensued. When Jews were being browbeaten in a Europe that was being overrun by Nazism and fascism, the East London Jews stood proud.
