Ambulances Set on Fire in Suspected Anti Jewish Attack

[StartingStar]

Horrible news that ambulances run by a Jewish charity have been set on fire in Golders Green today.

AIBU to feel it's got to to with the rise in anti Jewish hate since the allowance of horrible slogans on the weekly marches and in everyday society? What on earth makes people commit such a horrible attack.

I'm 100% with the Jewish community and pray for peace.

No-one is implicating anyone, read the post.

"No, of course I am not saying all British Muslims are killing Jews,that's absurd. "

Agree.

And what has this got to do with an attack on UK ambulances run by a UK charity in the UK?

The only connection is in the minds of racists.

Where did she claim that for yesterday’s attack.
I think you are doing a good job for creating division.

Yes I mean Islam.
Would you like me to provide links showing the terrorist attacks committed on British soil in the last 25 years by groups of Jews/Hindus/Sikh/Christians?
Blowing people up or stabbing kids because they hate us and our democracy and British culture.
Ergo I’ll provide the links showing the dreadful raping gangs who are Jewish/Hindus/Sikhs/Christians raping tens of thousands of white British Girls.

Here are the links.

Well colour me surprised. There aren’t any.

Beautifully put.

The nazi party are typically classed as far right, pretty certain they had an issue with Jews, unless you are only talking about the way current far right parties whip up Islamophobia and thus appear to be siding with the Jewish community, there is surely a significant difference between right minded and far right

I think we will have to agree to disagree with that! Unfortunately any research that doesn’t sing the praises of Islam is written off. Unless you are willing to look at the problem, however uncomfortable it is, the problem will not be solved. Honest conversations need to be had without threats and accusations

I would love to know who these top tier rabbis are because it’s certainly not the chief rabbi and it’s not any of the mainstream rabbis. The ultra orthodox rabbis who denounce Zionism are doing so do religious reasons and believe that there can be no Jewish homeland until the messiah comes. They are a minute subset of ultra Orthodox Jews, I think, the satmars who live entirely isolated from the modern world.

Holocaust survivors denouncing Zionism will probably be maybe 1 or 2 and most are dead. Most are / were hardcore zionists, believe in a Jewish homeland precisely because they suffered in the holocaust.

I am absolutely petrified of what has happened today. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt but for tje first time in my life I am beside myself for my kids. I don’t want them in this country any more, there is no future for the Jewish community.

Which "current far right parties" are you referring to ?

'Top tier Rabbis...'
😆

I don’t think that’s a good analogy. Whether or not Israel’s response to October 7th was disproportionate, they attacked Gaza because that’s where Hamas were.
They didn’t just go after completely unrelated Muslim communities in London or wherever.

I read the link. The link discusses how the term is problematic and has been hijacked by far right groups.

It’s totally up to me to decide what I do or don’t say. It’s called freedom of speech and I live in a democratic country. I’m Irish should I get upset about being called a Paddy? No, because I’m proud of who I am and I don’t have a chip on my shoulder.

According to the Guardian today, the synagogue is one that has strong, public ties with Israel and openly supports Israels action in Gaza. This doesn't make it ok, but it makes it less random .

I am so sorry to read this. I have a 13 year old autistic grandson who is also currently suffering with mental ill health and has similar worries. They are not alone 😢

This must be so distressing for you. The synagogue windows were blown out in the explosion as well, so a place of worship was also trashed. . Fortunately, a very serious attack was thwarted, recently, and the police are stepping up security for the Jewish community.
I can understand if you feel this isn't enough, though. 💐

I don't think it was ever "random". It was a deliberate attack.
They intended to destroy ambulances, and they did.

Who said it wasn’t?

I am also a Jewish woman and the daughter of a Holocaust survivor whose grandmother died in a concentration camp. I disagree with you that there is a genocide in Gaza. The horrific attack in Golders Green as was the murderous attack on the Manchester synagogue etc are a direct result of Diaspora Jews being blamed for the actions of the Israeli Government. And a lily livered government who don't give a fxxk about their Jewish constituents. No more, no less.

What synagogue? Stepped away for a couple hours and struggling to catch up

I can’t actually wrap myself around what world my kids are stepping into. Are we actually at the point where mass immigration to Israel is the only option? I have a recurring nightmare where I’m running with my kids and the border is closing and I miss it. Growing up in the shadow of Anne Frank and all that.

I have also read the link, I think your “summary” ignores 99.9% of the page!
