Outrage at heinous attack on UK Jewish community ambulances

Outrage at heinous attack on UK Jewish community ambulances

J7 statement on the attack on Hatzolah ambulances in Golders Green, London.

We are outraged by the heinous antisemitic attack targeting ambu­lances operated by a Jewish volunteer rescue organ­iz­a­tion in Golders Green, London.

Reports of possible links to Iran’s Islamic regime, if confirmed, would under­score the transna­tion­al threat facing Jewish com­munit­ies worldwide. 

We stand in full solid­ar­ity with the Jewish community of the United Kingdom.

This attack is not isolated. It reflects a broader surge in violent antisemitism targeting Jewish insti­tu­tions and indi­vidu­als across the globe. Multiple fire-bombings of Jewish insti­tu­tions in Belgium and the Neth­er­lands were also claimed by the terror group which claimed respons­ib­il­ity for the attack in London.

Con­front­ing antisemitism, including when state actors fuel, support, or enable it, is essential not only for the safety and security of Jewish com­munit­ies, but for the pro­tec­tion of demo­crat­ic societies.

We call on gov­ern­ments to act with urgency: protect Jewish com­munit­ies, hold per­pet­rat­ors account­able, and confront antisemitism in all its forms with clarity and resolve.
