Dear Prime Minister,

Many of us in the Jewish community are appalled by the UK’s response to the ongoing situation in Calais. Our experience as refugees is not so distant that we’ve forgotten what it’s like to be demonised for seeking safety.

People fleeing conflict and persecution are not to blame for the crisis in Calais; neither is our welfare system, nor the French government. Above all, we in the UK are not the victims here; we are not being invaded by a ‘swarm’. 

Last year Germany received five times more asylum applications than the UK; France twice as many. Those who have already travelled thousands of miles are not motivated to come to the UK by the expectation of receiving £5-per-day. They come to rejoin family, because of our reputation as a free and fair society, and to seek safety and a better life in a country whose language they understand. 

We are facing the largest refugee crisis in a generation. Nine people have died since June trying to access the Channel Tunnel and over 2,000 people have lost their lives this year crossing the Mediterranean. 

Our response must be better than putting up fences around our borders. We must not impose cuts on asylum seekers which will force them into destitution, nor politicise a humanitarian crisis. We must instead ensure that the UK works with our European partners to offer safe and legal routes to those seeking asylum. 

Yours sincerely,

Signed by over 200 Rabbis and Jewish Community Leaders
