"This shocking attempt to harm a local synagogue follows a series of alarming attacks on the Jewish community in Finchley and Golders Green. I refuse to allow this to become the new normal."
"British Jews must be free to go about their lives without fear - whether taking their children to nursery or attending synagogue. We do not want to live behind ever higher walls."
"We are working with the affected synagogue and continuing to meet with community leaders. I would like to reassure the community that we take incidents of this nature extremely seriously."
Two suspects hurled bottles believed to contain petrol at the Finchley Reform Synagogue in north London. The police are treating the incident as an antisemitic hate crime. No injuries or damage occurred. Local MP Sarah Sackman condemned the attack, emphasizing the need for safety in the Jewish community. The Community Security Trust is providing support and collaborating with police. Authorities are aware of community concerns following a previous arson attack and are actively seeking information to identify the suspects.
