A test of our values': Starmer to call for whole-society response to rising antisemitism
"Starmer is expected to say they all need to refuse to platform hatred or turn a blind eye to extremism. Last week's terrorist attack in Golders Green was utterly appalling. But it was not an isolated incident."
"These disgusting attacks are being made against British Jews. But, make no mistake, this crisis it is a crisis for all of us. It is a test of our values."
"Every single day, through our actions. So, it is not enough to simply say we stand with Jewish communities. We must show it. And that responsibility lies with each and every one of us."
Keir Starmer will urge a comprehensive societal response to rising antisemitism, stressing that condemnation alone is insufficient. Following recent violent incidents against the Jewish community, including a knife attack and arson, he will convene a roundtable with various societal representatives. Starmer emphasizes the need for solidarity and action against hatred, stating that the crisis affects everyone and is a test of societal values. The government is also increasing funding for police patrols and security measures at synagogues to address these threats.
