As Islamophobia and antisemitic attacks grow, people wait anxiously for news of their loved ones
For Brighton resident Adam Ma’anit the horrors of the last week have – as they have for many Jewish and Palestinian families in the UK – reprised previous tragedies.
Ma’anit’s 18-year-old cousin, Maayan Idan, was among the first civilians to be killed as Hamas’s attack unfolded last Saturday. Her father, Tsachi Idan, remains missing, presumably held hostage within the embattled Gaza enclave, 500m from the kibbutz from where he was taken.
