Actors Tracy-Ann Oberman and Eddie Marsan spoke to crowds at a rally against antisemitism in Parliament Square on Sunday, after thousands attended a march in central London.

Mr Marsan said he hoped to see people express solidarity with victims of Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, and with civilians in Gaza caught up in Israel's military attack against the militant group.

He told the rally: "At a time when our country is tearing itself apart and racist attacks are on the increase because of a conflict that has two just causes, surely our job is to tell both stories – not just tell one and deny the other because it's fashionable."

Former EastEnders actress Tracy-Ann Oberman told marchers: “We’re seeing a frightening and swift rise in antisemitism, Jewish attacks on our children not being able to go to school wearing their blazers with a Jewish insignia or skullcaps, our children and ourselves advised to take off any sign of being Jewish.

“I have so many friends and neighbours and people who contact me on social media saying they will take their mezuzahs off their doors, that they feel frightened, they feel isolated and alone.

“But we are not alone. We are a successful and flourishing multi-ethnic and multi-faith capital city of a multi-ethnic and multi-faith country.

“A tolerant democracy where all racism, including racism against Jews, is not tolerated.

“We have to call out antisemitism for what it is, it is an incitement to hatred, it is an incitement to divide.”
