<\/a>London Jewish Community Feels \u2018Anxious\u2019 but \u2018Resilient\u2019 as It Prepares for Potential Future Attacks<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nShiryn Ghermezian<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Jewish community in London is feeling \u201cvery anxious\u201d while trying to stay vigilant and prepared for potential incidents in the future after four Hatzalah emergency vehicles were destroyed in an antisemitic arson attack last week, the president of the UK\u2019s main Jewish umbrella organization said on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve had two-and-a half-years of very high levels of antisemitism, obviously, the deadly attack at Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester<\/a> just in October, and now this incident, an arson attack in the heart of London\u2019s Jewish community in Golders Green,\u201d Phil Rosenberg of the Board of Deputies of British Jews said during an appearance on \u201cBBC London Politics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt is nonetheless a very resilient and proud community, and we are looking at how we push back and build back stronger,\u201d Rosenberg added.<\/span><\/p>\n Roughly 150,000 Jewish people live in London.<\/span><\/p>\n Rosenberg, a deputy at a north London synagogue and former Labour councillor in Camden, was also asked about the British government\u2019s response to the arson attack. He said that, with help from the government, the Jewish community in London is now equipped with specialist kits designed to help during future attacks, including equipment that could help with chemical exposure. The equipment was provided through a \u00a328.4 million government grant to the Community Security Trust<\/a> (CST), a Jewish charity that safeguards the safety and security of Jews across the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cOn the way here, I was looking at my WhatsApps. I saw one come in from my synagogue, and it was talking not about the great services we put on, the outreach to local communities, the wonderful art and charity that we do, but about a series of kits we\u2019ve just received that will help the community if there\u2019s an attack to stem the flow of blood, or if there\u2019s a chemical attack. That is the situation we\u2019re facing,\u201d Rosenberg explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt\u2019s sad that it\u2019s needed, though,\u201d he added. \u201cBecause what we need to do is prevent this and create a situation where those things are not the things we\u2019re talking about, and those are not the things we need. We want to be celebrating the Jewish community, and all communities in this city, and not [be] in fear of those sorts of attacks happening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Last year, there were over 1,800 antisemitic incidents in London, according to data compiled by CST. When asked if the Jewish community believes the government is doing enough to tackle the issue of antisemitism, Rosenberg said the response is \u201cmixed.\u201d He noted the speed at which the British government provided replacements vehicles<\/a> for the Hatzalah ambulances destroyed last week and other moves by the government, like proscribing the pro-Hamas group Palestine Action<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe government still needs to go further,\u201d Rosenberg added, before calling for British leaders to proscribe Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and to take more action to combat hatred flourishing on social media, among other issues.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve seen in our society a growth of extremism \u2026 and we are very concerned that we are seeing society being pulled apart,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need to come together, among all communities, to push back against hatred in all its forms, including antisemitism, and marginalize those extremists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> London Jewish Community Feels \u2018Anxious\u2019 but \u2018Resilient\u2019 as It Prepares for Potential Future Attacks Shiryn Ghermezian A person holds a sign near the scene where four ambulances belonging to Hatzola, a Jewish community organization, were set on fire in an incident that the police say is being treated as an antisemitic hate crime, in northwest […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[33,24],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129364"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=129364"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":129517,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129364\/revisions\/129517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=129364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=129364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reunion68.se\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=129364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
