"British Jews are tired and scared. We want to be able to go about our daily lives, not just as Jews but as Britons. We want to go to work, drop our children off at school and pray free from fear."
"No amount of government money, or police personnel, or CCTV will keep everyone safe if we fail to tackle the attitudes that fuel antisemitism. A fight for an open and tolerant Britain requires not just the state to protect Jews."
"We need help. Where are the marches in solidarity and support of our Jewish community? Where is the response of the liberal-left? Where are the anti-racists, the trade unions, civil society, our friends and neighbours?"
British Jews are experiencing heightened fear and isolation due to escalating antisemitism and violence. They desire to live freely as Britons, engaging in daily activities without fear. The government is taking steps to enhance safety, including increased policing and legal measures. However, true safety requires solidarity from non-Jewish communities and a collective fight against antisemitism. Messages of support have been received, but there is a call for more visible solidarity, including marches and responses from various societal leaders and organizations.
