Golders Green attack victim accuses government of ‘not doing their job’ to keep Jewish community safe
One of the victims of a stabbing attack in Golders Green, Shilome Rand, has accused the UK government of failing to protect the Jewish community, stating that people are afraid and the government is not doing its job. The attack, which also injured 76-year-old Moshe Ben Baila, is being treated as a suspected antisemitic incident, prompting widespread concern and calls for stronger action against hate crimes. Government and religious leaders, including Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have responded with calls for meaningful measures to combat rising antisemitism.
