"Last week's terrorist attack in Golders Green was utterly appalling. But it was not an isolated incident. It is part of a pattern of rising antisemitism that has left our Jewish communities feeling frightened, angry, and asking whether this country, their home, is safe for them."
"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. Values that are not guaranteed, but are earned. Every single day, through our actions."
"The government announced an extra £25 million to boost police patrols, specialist officers, and protective security for Jewish communities - taking total funding to £58 million, as well as £7 million to tackle antisemitism in schools, colleges and universities."
"Jewish communities across England will receive a further £1 million of government funding to tackle antisemitism and strengthen community cohesion in those places facing the greatest risk."
Keir Starmer has labeled antisemitism a crisis that impacts all citizens, urging leaders to confront the issue. Following a recent terrorist attack in Golders Green, he highlights a troubling trend of rising antisemitism that has left Jewish communities feeling unsafe. The government has responded with increased funding for police and community support, totaling £58 million, alongside additional resources for educational institutions. Local councils, particularly Barnet, will receive targeted funding to address recent antisemitic incidents and enhance community cohesion.
