Guardian amends ‘antisemitic’ opinion piece about Gail’s bakery

The Guardian has amended an opinion piece about Gail’s bakery after it caused controversy among readers, Jewish staff and the boss of the high street chain.

The article was edited on Tuesday evening to clarify a reference to the opening of a branch as “an act of heavy-handed high street aggression”.

Published on Saturday under the headline “A corner of north London where food has become a battleground in the Israel-Gaza war”, the article by Jonathan Liew prompted accusations of antisemitism against the Jewish-heritage business.
