Memorial hijacked

THE actions of the York Palestine Solidarity Campaign (York PSC) today were nothing short of disgusting.

As chairman of the University of York Jewish Society I organised a walking tour of Jewish Medieval York, followed by a brief ceremony at the foot of Clifford's Tower to commemorate the 1190 massacre.

This was hijacked by York PSC (Letters, March 17) who saw fit to mix the massacre of more than 110 British Jews in 1190 with the present situation in Israel.

At the small ceremony, they tried to provoke arguments with Jewish students, rather than turn-up to remember the massacre.
