Wendy Earle explains that after the profound experiences of our trip to Israel, we felt that more people should visit Israel too; they will learn that Israel is not just fighting for itself, but for the freedom and democracy that underpins the civilisation that we too easily take for granted.
Brid Hehir describes the strong sense of duty she saw amongst the young IDF soldiers, and the sense of gratitude to them from most Israeli citizens.
Elisabetta Gasparoni writes that to fully understand 'Never Again' you need to visit Israel, and that it was only during our solidarity trip that she discovered how each individual life is valued, and how the names of the fallen are remembered.
Suzy Gold writes that our Solidarity Delegation to Israel was not just about seeing Israel for ourselves; it was about connecting with it, supporting it, and becoming ambassadors for truth and unity on returning home.

After returning from the first Our Fight solidarity delegation to Israel, Wendy Earle writes that what struck her most was the commitment to remembering the dead, while deeply valuing life.
This week we will be in Israel to join commemorations for those murdered during the Holocaust, those who resisted during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, those who fought to establish the state of Israel, and those who continue the fight to defend it.
Ben Smith writes that it's more important than ever for non-Jews to show solidarity on Yom HaShoah—Israel's day of remembrance for the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. Our Fight is sending a delegation to Israel for the official ceremony, and joining the London commemoration.
On the eighth anniversary of the Westminster Bridge terror attack, which killed 5 and injured 48, Ben Smith explains why we will be holding a commemoration on the bridge. Join us to unite against terror, at 2pm on March 22nd.
Our Fight is planning a unique solidarity delegation to Israel at the end of April. If you'd like to be part of the trip then please fill in the form at the end of this article, to express your interest.
If the Holocaust shows merely a dark place where 'prejudice' can lead, then we have missed its bleak forewarning. Anti-Semitism is the only idea capable of engulfing a continent in a frenzy of slaughter; the Holocaust is the stark proof. All sessions from last week's symposium are now online.
Unless we prepare to challenge the re-writing of the Holocaust, the erasure of Jews from the story, and its transformation into a generic morality tale about prejudice, then HMD next year will be much worse than this year's. Join us today for our symposium to rewrite the promise of 'Never Again'.
