Ambulances Set on Fire in Suspected Anti Jewish Attack

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

www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyj1p49gdpo

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.

What the Fuck do you mean 'but'?! But??

And 'accommodate'? These are British people who are also Jewish who run a service that could arguably be seen as a very British thing to do regardless of ethnicity.

There are no ifs or buts on this, none at all.

(ftr - I take a dim view of organised religion full stop, any religion. But I'm also not an idiot)

Again, this isn't a dig at any group. As I have said already, this is true multiculturalism, it doesn't really work. I am so sorry for everyone involved. My point was simply that we shouldn't really be surprised when conflict on foreign soil inspires action here. I pray for peace

But why should we have to? There are plenty of people in the UK with all sorts of views and all sorts of history - and like others have said, that's exactly what multiculturalism means. People can support Russia or Ukraine or Iran or cheer for Portugal in the football or wave an Australian flag during the Olympics... all of that is allowed in a free society. So the idea that there are 'good Jews' and 'bad Jews' and somehow to be allowed to live without fear we are required to be vocal about politics in another country altogether isn't fair. I shouldn't have to have a specific view to be safe.

This is an excellent point, well put, so I have reposted it as imo it deserves highlighting.

Indeed.

The largest threat to my family's personal safety are the teenage boys at my daughter's school who keep targeting her and the marchers outside my workplace wishing to globalise my death. And maybe Trump, he's pretty unhinged.

The no would have sufficed, unless you’re ok with what happened.

You sound like a truly revolting person. Perhaps you shouldn't be allowed to reman in the UK.

PurpleNightingale · 23/03/2026 09:53

I can't imagine what a disgusting individual you'd have to be to do such a thing.

I despair at the amount of religious hate being kicked up by the right and the reform elk- I know Muslims are getting the brunt of this, but it feels all this focus on 'we are a Christian country' is similarly harming our relations with all other faiths in our community and it makes me worry where it is going. It feels like they are legitimising religious intolerance in a suddenly quite loud and public way.

The Louis Theroux Manosphere documentary was eye opening to the fact that hateful anti-semitism rumours of Jewish people running the world in some shadowy conspiracy theory way was still being actively circulated.

I don't understand how people walk around with so much poisonous hate in their hearts for strangers and it feels like it is spreading, which is terrifying.

It's obviously awful, not sure what your AIBU is.

I mean, isn’t that the point of OP’s thread? And so far, the vote is 146 people and 11% of them think torching ambulances that save lives is NBU, because the non-profit that owns them is Jewish (cue the people telling me they voted YABU because of OP’s “wording” 😂).

PandoraSocks · 23/03/2026 09:54

The anti-semites really have crawled out from under their stones this morning, haven't they?

I think the rise in anti-Jewish hate is probably due to the actions of the government/military of Israel throughout the conflict with Palestine. Of course it is misplaced. It isn’t the fault of Jewish people and they are not to blame for the actions of the government/military in Israel.

This is where you are completely wrong. Over 50% of Jewish Israelis are not white. They are Middle Eastern and North African coming from Iran Iraq Morocco afganistan Algeria Syria Lebanon the Yemen and Ethiopia. They mainly came because they were thrown out of those countries

Yes, some of us were discussing the anti-semitism in that documentary on another thread yesterday. It is just appalling.

The Jews conquered Israel about 4500 years ago, long long before the ancestors of any other existing group. They even wrote a book about it. It’s quite a popular book so you might have heard of it.

You absolutely do, and I would defend that right on your behalf.

So do ordinary Palestinians in their home country. I would also defend that; wouldn’t you?

Do you mean the ordinary Palestinians who crowded onto the streets and cheered with joy at the sight of kidnapped Jews and cheering at the broken raped bodies of murdered young women?
Do you men those ordinary Jew hating Palestinians?
What happens there is half a world away -yet it has spilled onto our streets by constant dreadful marches, racist threatening chants, Muslim groups not being proscribed because our Government is too scared of loosing the Muslim vote.

I don’t understand why we as a society are not doing more to support Jews .
I also don’t understand why the white people who broke the law during the Southport riots were quickly hauled into court and sentenced - yet I have yet to read about any Muslims being charged with anything despite doing the same and worse.

Why the stupid Prime Minister is ‘shocked’ is beyond me - what does he think will happen when he lets people march on the streets threatening rape and death to Jews and British people and get away with it week after sodding week??

Well this is the UK. Am absolutely sick of our streets being taken over by the zealots and thick lefties.
What are they going to say when they start attacking London and places. "Hope they got a couple of Jews in among the hundreds of injured/dead?

How on earth does "conflict on foreign soil" mean attacking a charity's ambulances?
I am surprised, because I would imagine that intelligent people would separate a Jewish run charity from a war in the ME, but obviously some people aren't capable of that.

MeridaBrave · 23/03/2026 10:02

Its sickening. It’s run by Jewish volunteers but it’s for anyone local. It’s an amazing service esp as NHS ambulances are so slow.

KaetzenKlumpenz · 23/03/2026 10:02

Oh i dont trust MN threads about anything anymore
horrible, divisive, and very very RARELY helpful or truly informative.
there will definitely be bots galore involved in this, and it doesn't sit well with me.
what companies wont do for clicks :(

Sorry meant to quote the poster upthread who said "nobody died" like it was fair game.
