In England, in Bournemouth, a coastal resort town with a large Jewish population and a Jewish mayor, there were calls to cut the city\'s twinning links with Netanya. In a letter to the local Daily Echo, resident Tony Williams charged that \"the latest atrocity\' illustrated Israel\'s \"contempt not only for the rule of law but for the opinions of civilized nations throughout the world.\" Williams said: \"Next year in Bournemouth we shall be electing councilors, and it is essential that all candidates standing for election state their position on the Palestine-Israel conflict.\" Mayor Barry Golbart said people should work for a \"peaceful solution.\" Golbart said: \"Speaking personally, and not as mayor, my position is that I am not an Israeli; I\'m a Jewish man living in England. It is an extremely sorry state of affairs, whatever the rights and wrongs of it,\" he told the Echo.
