It is undeniable now: war has been declared on British Jews. A fascistic crusade is being waged against our Jewish compatriots. The anti-Semitic atrocity in Golders Green today is further brutish proof of this unsettling fact. We’ve had fire bombings at synagogues, the murder of Jews in Manchester on Yom Kippur, and now this frenzied knifing of Jews in London. There can be no more equivocating – this is a moral emergency.

The most sickening thing about today’s knife pogrom is that it was entirely predictable

The scenes from Golders Green are truly grim. Video clips show the suspect wielding his knife with demented fury at two visibly Jewish men. One is reportedly in his seventies, the other in his thirties – both sustained serious injuries, but are reportedly in a stable condition. Their crime? They were out, proud Jews on the streets of London in 2026.

If this doesn’t force a moral reckoning with the state of our nation, nothing will. The pessimist in me is not holding his breath. After all, mere hours after the slaying of two Jews at the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester in October, bourgeois mobs were on the streets........
