False allegations

THE letter from Hugo Bieber, chairman of the University Jewish Society (March 19), alleged the York Palestine Solidarity Campaign (YPSC) disrupted a memorial service at Clifford's Tower to commemorate the massacre of Jews in 1190.

These allegations have no truth behind them whatsoever. The YPSC York made no contact with its membership about the memorial service, and did not attend.

We, therefore, cannot comment on the views of those who attended as private individuals and who are unknown to us. Those making these serious allegations obviously made no attempt to verify their facts before contacting the Press.

While the YPSC works for justice for the Palestinian people in particular, its constitution condemns all racial and religious hatred and discrimination.

Terry Gallogly,

Chair, York Palestine Solidarity Campaign,

Lowther Terrace, York.
