Every synagogue in the country has security personnel stationed outside during every service.
Jewish schools require private security measures.
The Jewish community must raise funds for a charity dedicated to their protection, a necessity that no other community faces.
Lord Ian Austin has called for stricter measures to combat anti-Jewish hate that has surged on the streets of Britain.
The reasons for this demand became evident on Thursday.
A terrorist attacked and harmed worshippers at a synagogue.
This was not a random incident at a shopping center or on the street; Jewish individuals were targeted specifically for their faith. It was a display of brutal, murderous racism.
Since the invasion of Israel two years ago, racist extremists have been permitted to dominate our streets.
On the day the terrorists murdered and abducted civilians, there were celebrations on the streets of Britain.
Weekly marches have rendered central London and other city centers unsafe for Jewish individuals.
Even on Thursday—just hours after the attack—protesters clashed with police outside Downing Street and at train stations.
You would expect them to show some decency after the murders that occurred on Thursday, but they seem either convinced of their moral superiority or entirely consumed by racial hatred—most likely a combination of both.
I have attended these hate marches. You won’t find banners calling for peace, for the release of hostages, or advocating for a "two-state solution."
Instead, you will see many equating Israelis with Nazis, comparing Gaza to the Holocaust, or calling for territory to stretch "from the River to the Sea," which implies the destruction of Israel and the killing of its citizens.
They chant for Israel's destruction, demand "death to the IDF," and promote the idea of "Globalising the Intifada."
The intifada involved terror attacks where individuals were assaulted with vehicles and knives—exactly what transpired in Manchester.
Why are those who incite such violence not prosecuted with the same urgency and determination as individuals who incited violence or racism following the murders?
Jewish children have been attacked on their way to school. Students have been targeted at universities. Jewish patients feel compelled to conceal their identity when visiting hospitals.
Synagogues have been vandalized, homes marked with Swastikas, and businesses destroyed simply because their owners are Jewish.
Defense contractors have faced attacks, and their employees have been intimidated—these are individuals who contribute to our nation's safety.
The Community Security Trust (CST) has recorded unprecedented levels of antisemitic incidents. A recent YouGov survey indicates that over one in five Brits now hold deeply entrenched antisemitic views—double the figure from four years ago.
As stated, it is “a tidal wave of Jew hatred.”
It should cause us all shame that Jewish individuals frequently express their thoughts of relocating to Israel and question whether they have a future in this country.
They believe they would be safer in Israel, a nation at war, surrounded by hostile enemies.
Parliament debates Israel more than any other issue—three times more than the NHS, crime, poverty, or immigration.
Police arrest an activist in Trafalgar Square during a protest supporting the militant group Palestine Action in London.
Protesters participate in a mass demonstration organized by Defend Our Juries, opposing the British government’s ban on Palestine Action.
You should be outraged that MPs are so fixated on a conflict thousands of miles away that they know little about and can do even less to resolve, instead of focusing on the schools and hospitals for which they are responsible.
Issues like famine in Sudan, which has claimed the lives of over 500,000 children, or the ongoing civil war in Nigeria, where Christians are being persecuted, barely receive any attention.
Is it due to a racist obsession with Jewish people or a racist disregard for black lives? It seems to be a combination of both.
When our government determined that Israel is not committing genocide, that news was buried. However, when the UN suggested it might be, it dominated every news bulletin.
The bias is glaring, yet no one is willing to address it.
Demonizing Israel, singling it out for criticism, and holding it to standards not applied to other nations—these are manifestations of antisemitism.
The obsession exhibited in Parliament and on the BBC perpetuates the false narrative that Israel is uniquely malevolent, which inevitably fosters hatred against the Jewish community.
Therefore, please do not expect me to heed the pious lectures from those who promise to oppose antisemitism while simultaneously supporting boycotts, sanctions, or embargoes that would hinder Israel from protecting its Jewish citizens.
