"By the time the prime minister arrived at midday there were about 200 people gathered to make their feelings heard, many holding up freshly printed posters bearing the words: Keir Starmer Jew harmer."
"Starmer, Jew harmer, bellowed a man with a loud hailer. You are a disgrace, screeched a woman as the prime minister stepped out of his car to meet his hosts."
"I feel betrayed by Starmer, said Moshe, 20, a shop worker, of his motivation for being among the protesters. He was further irritated by Starmer's decision not to visit the scene of the attack."
"Downing Street would not comment on the reasons for the prime minister's limited visit. It is understood the clamour from the street could be heard inside Hatzola's headquarters."
Keir Starmer's visit to the Hatzola ambulance service in Golders Green was met with significant protests. Approximately 200 demonstrators gathered, expressing their discontent with Starmer's perceived failure to adequately support the Jewish community following recent stabbings. Many protesters held signs accusing him of being a 'Jew harmer.' The atmosphere was charged, with chants and boos directed at Starmer as he arrived. Critics, including a young shop worker, voiced feelings of betrayal over his decision to avoid the attack scene, opting instead for a closed meeting at Hatzola's headquarters.
