Hackney's Stamford Hill has the highest concentration of Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Europe.
Their new mayor is from a party that fielded a candidate who stated that "ramming a synagogue isn’t antisemitism, it’s revenge."
Hackney has over 80 synagogues. I wish all of them good luck.
The deliberate arson attacks against Hatzola ambulances in London are a particularly sickening assault - not only on the Jewish community, but on the values we share as a society.
Our Hatzola volunteer ambulance corps is an extraordinary service, whose sole mission is to protect life, Jewish and non-Jewish alike.
The targeting of Hatzola by people so committed to terror, hatred and the desecration of life is a most painful illustration of the ongoing battle between those who sanctify life and those who seek to destroy it.
At a time when Jewish communities around the world are facing a growing pattern of these violent attacks, we will meet this moment with shared resolve and stand together against hatred and intimidation.
So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.
💥 Deputy leader of @TheGreenParty Mothin Ali is at the really extreme pro-Islamic Republic of Iran protest in London RIGHT NOW. What is he doing there? This is shocking even for him.

This morning as I left Parliament an anti-Israel protestor shouted at me.
I turned and saw she was wearing the striped outfit the Nazis made Jews in concentration camps wear.
You can argue about whether this should be illegal or not.
But when others are arrested and charged using public order legislation for causing offence to followers of Islam - like in the case of Hamit Coskun - why is this deemed ok?
I understand this is the woman in the outfit. She appears to make a habit of her disgusting behaviour.
