This week was marked by a profound disconnect between high-level diplomacy and the harsh realities on the ground, revealing a troubling trend where Western actors prioritise symbolic gestures over the security implications and moral hazards they create for Jewish communities.

UN General Assembly week delivered a series of grand gestures designed for headlines, from coordinated moves on Palestinian statehood to a highly publicised aid flotilla that chose political theatre over efficient delivery.

These events unfolded against a backdrop of resurgent, blatant antisemitism and persistent security threats, highlighting a dangerous gap between policies perceived as virtuous and the non-negotiable security realities faced by Jews worldwide.
