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.

It seems to have emboldened the racists, for sure.

😂😂😂😂😂😂🎯

Always amazing how many first-time posters these threads bring out. Like KindTealEagle.

X is full of veiled antisemitic remarks eg "why does the Jewish Community have a separate ambulance service" it infuriates me how we have let anti semitism become so normalised. Needs to stop now.

Im very sad but sadly not surprised. Idiots with one brain cell will target Jewish people because they lump them with the Israeli gov.

Same for people who target Mosques or Muslims because they lump them in with terrorist groups. People did it with Gay people around Aids, sadly I don’t think it will ever end. Racist/homophobic etc people are all filled with hate and lack intelligence and have a love for violence and destruction.

I’m very glad no one was hurt at least, however now there are ambulances not in use, so that itself will cause harm.

Am staggered at the racism on this thread.

It sometimes feels like we're living in 1930s Germany - and these days it almost all comes from the far left

History and religion not your bag then 😂

Yup. New century, same old racist talking points. I cannot even imagine fleeing from antisemitism that meant certain death in mainland Europe, so you flee to the UK in the 1940s, and now here we are in 2025, and it’s all happening again. Society always needs an outsider to hate, and people have really perfected their racism now - they hate both newly arrived immigrants AND Jewish families who have been here for centuries, and they use the same justifications for it all.

I think hateful people often use other causes as an outlet for their hate, but that doesn’t make the original cause “part of the problem” if it is well founded.

I was hoping that I’d be able to donate. Will do that right now.

I don't like the implication here that Jews who support Israel defending itself from those who would destroy it, deserve to be attacked in the UK.

Sorry, but no UK citizens should be subject to violence to their bodies, minds or property, not matter what their views on oversees conflicts.

That really should not need to be stated. Its shocking we have got to position where it does need to be stated.

Sorry I don't understand this sentence. Are you aware that there is a significant population of Israeli Arabs and they are even in senior government posts?
My apologies if your post wasn't about that, as I said, I don't understand your sentence.

And perhaps they need to remember who started all this. Hamas, on 7th October.

The thread is about an arson attack on ambulances in London run by volunteers for all in the wider community.

That now deleted post read as an unhinged rant from a goady Jew hater. Using that handy word to disguise what we can see was really meant.

Engaging brain to look at the issue here is clearly a struggle for that poster.

They are more to be pitied, they are not blessed with intelligence 😂

Did you think attacks on Muslim people in the UK were understandable after 9/11, and did you blame individual Muslims or British Muslim organisations for not making statements distancing themselves from Al Qaeda?

Unfortunately, international criminal's Bibi's behaviour over many years has given rise to a huge wave of anti-semitism across the world.

Well I'd like violence and suffering to stop too. But I put the blame on the people commiting the violence rather than 'multiculturalism'.

Remove other ethnicities to stop the violence ? Hmm now where have I heard that before?

You sound like you dont even realise what you're saying.

It's even more bewildering in my situation - family fled Russia in the 1880s and through a series of coincidences ended up in the states. After a series of attacks on friends and family I felt safer immigrating to Scotland. Now this is all happening here too.

So yes, I'm both Jewish 'and' an immigrant so get double the hate. Though I promise I'm a nice person, here legally (and now a citizen), contributing to society, and a regular volunteer at the food bank. And have very complicated feelings about global politics. I hope that is enough justification for whoever needs it. (I'm so tired)

No, it’s just an excuse for the Jew haters to come out of hiding.

Nope.

Antisemities have given rise to antisemitism.

Its actually not BN's fault that some people hate Jews.

I can't believe people still need this pointed out.

There are plenty of Israeli Arabs too btw who hold high office.

I want to be extremely clear that I am in no way justifying the attack on these ambulances. But surely anyone has the basic theory of mind to understand (not agree) why they might be a target?

100% this. I’m also not too far from there and also a very Jewish dominant area. Breaks my heart to see security outside the 3 Jewish schools I pass on the way to drop my ds to school.
My hairdresser who is only a young girl is Jewish and said she’s petrified to tell anyone she is for fear of reprisals.
absolutely disgusting

To be honest, if it weren't for antisemites being antisemitic, Netanyahu wouldn't ever have been voted in. The modern state of Israel started out as a socialist country. But antisemites kept being antisemitic and the country went further and further right in response.

But regardless, that has nothing to do with antisemitism in London. It's an excuse, not a reason. If it were the reason, there wouldn't have been antisemitism before Netanyahu came in to power.
