An authentic-sounding email was sent to the private email address of thousands of people that claimed a rally for Middle East peace planned to take place in London today had been canceled, the BBC reports.
The emailsaid the rally was canceled because it "might be perceived as the community taking one side in the tragic war in Gaza and Israel, and might be seen as supporting Israel's military campaign".
The event in Trafalgar Square was the first major rally organized by the Jewish community in the UK after a series of global protests over Israel's offensive against Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.
