An attack such as this is unsurprising when thousands of fighting age illegal immigrants are allowed to enter the country whilst authorities allow anti-Jewish hate to grow unchecked. Words of condemnation and concern are meaningless if those that speak them are unwilling to enforce the law and order that will keep communities such as Golders Green safe.

This regrettable attack must not distract global attention from Britain's long-standing role in America and Israel's illegal warmongering in the Middle East. Questions must also be asked of why Jewish communities are allowed to run parallel emergency and security forces on Britain's streets. Preventing future violence must also be paired with acknowledgement of complicity.
