Hatzola felt personal. Just a few weeks ago they were on the scene to help my dad in his last minutes. And to help my mum through the hellish hours. Piece below with giftlink.

At the CST Annual Dinner last night, we announced that His Majesty King Charles III had accepted our invitation to become a Patron of CST, a powerful recognition of his longstanding support for the Jewish community and the fight against antisemitism.

Jewish Leadership Council
Following the appalling arson attack against Hatzola in Golders Green, our Chair, Keith Black met with @Keir_Starmer, @wesstreeting, @SteveReedMP, @sarahsackman and other North West London MPs, alongside our communal partners. The time for words is over and the response cannot be security alone. We must make the ideology which drives someone to burn four ambulances incompatible with British society. Listen to Keith discuss this with @christopherhope on @GBNEWS.

I have zero hesitation in condemning absolutely all attacks on the Jewish community in the UK. Including those perpetrated by Mossad.

Home secretary @ShabanaMahmood last night at the @CST_UK dinner: "To target Hatzola, an institution devoted to saving lives and serving the public in North London, is so warped it defies words. This was more than an attack on four ambulances. It was more than an attack on one organisation or on one community. It was an attack on this country and on us all."

We just saw a violent attack on the Jewish community and this pro-Pal who we saw at the hateful art exhibition in Margate says she’s “very interested in globalising the intifada”. She adds oppressed people have the right to “violently resist”. Isn’t this pouring fuel on the fire?

"Nothing is more antisemitic than Zionism itself" is one of the most moronic formulations of all. So it is no surprise to see Lubna Speitan resort to it in her campaign for the Green Party "Zionism is racism" motion. Well, moronic racism does suit today's Green Party.

After ambulances burn, there’s nowt better than a hate march. Every single Jew hater will march in masks, screaming hate. No one will stop them. @metpoliceuk will wring their hands. @CPSUK won’t prosecute. Every sodding cabinet minister will “stand with us”. I’m fed up of it.

Sorry @Keir_Starmer - antisemitism DOES have a place within our society. @TheGreenParty honours Jew haters. Meanwhile your government watches police & @CPSUK inactivity in silence. They don’t investigate or prosecute. This happens. Forgive me but, today, zip your lip: act instead
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer

The antisemitic arson attack in Golders Green is horrifying. I’ve been in touch with Jewish community leaders this morning and will continue to do so throughout the day. An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on us all. We will fight the poison that is antisemitism.

Dear God.
Campaign for Media Standards@4mediastandards

After an antisemitic attack on a Jewish volunteer ambulance service, you’d expect focussed questions about the rise and threat of antisemitism in the UK. Not @edballs on @GMB this morning. Instead, he tried to shift the discussion – asking whether criticism of a mass iftar event in Trafalgar Square is “causing problems” for the Jewish community. This isn’t balance or insight; its poor journalism that misses the point and dilutes the seriousness of antisemitism. Well handled by @DovForman for staying on point.

This was yesterday outside the US Embassy Saying “resistance is justified” seeks to excuse violence an terrorism The antisemitic attack in Golders Green this morning shows why this kind of language should not be tolerated

Today once again terrorist supporters roamed our streets unchallenged. One making the “T” sign of Hezbollah and another the Hamas triangle. This is incitement to murder Jews. Yet we stand powerless to stop them. It’s unforgivable.

Hi @MothinAli. Jews don’t exist for you to use an Islamist attack on the community to shine a halo. You’ve relentlessly created an atmosphere in which a young family had to go into hiding, & now antisemitism is running riot. If you were serious you’d reflect on your behaviour.

Last week I raised in Parliament the antisemitic chanting at the Al Quds Day hate protest. The Govt said it would do everything to stamp out antisemitism. One week later four Jewish ambulances torched in Golders Green. Words are not enough. Change the law and proscribe the IRGC.
