Jewish Londoners describe "utter horror" and living in fear after latest attack, demand government action
CBS News ^ | April 30, 2026 | Inaya Folarin Iman

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was heckled Thursday during a visit to North London, a day after two Jewish men were wounded in a stabbing attack โ€” the latest in a series of incidents that one of Starmer's cabinet members has called an antisemitism emergency.

As he arrived in the Golders Green neighborhood, which has long been a hub of the British Jewish community, to meet members of the emergency services, loud booing could be heard and some residents shouted insults including "traitor" and "coward."

A string of recent attacks, including arson targeting synagogues and other Jewish sites, has raised alarm within the community.

"It's utter horror," an Orthodox Jewish resident, who also asked to remain anonymous, told CBS News. "I can't believe what's going on. We have to live in fear โ€” constantly looking behind our backs, wondering if someone might attack us with a knife โ€ฆ and even if we leave, where do we go? There are people trying to attack us everywhere."

Residents told CBS News after the stabbing that they initially felt shocked and saddened, but not surprised. Those feelings gave way to anger for some, and demands for the government to take concrete action.

Sounds like the Nazis ended up conquering Britain after all.

“There are people trying to attack us everywhere.” What kind of people would do such a thing? I guess they don’t like Jews for some reason.

The Nazis had supporters within the so-called “Royal” family if I recall correctly. Kind of looks like they still do.

Perhaps ‘hate’ was mistaken for “strong dislike’. It could happen. United islamic britain. Coming soon.

Notice that CBS studiously avoids discussing the issue of Islamic anti-semitism.

Jews are in danger whenever they are in a place controlled by muzzs. Britain has abandoned Jews.

No way to disperse them among English speaking countries as the inventor of the language has given up. 160k of them in London-100k elsewhere in the country. Hard to believe they would discriminate against all that talent. It’s their voting patterns I have a problem with. They’ll sell the rope to their hangman. Go figure.

They know how South Afrikan farmers feel.

Uh.... maybe to a country that will allow you to arm yourself for self defense, instead of a country that is deliberately allowing “immigrants” in by the boatload that want to keel you? (really big duh here)

English government is still a ‘top down dictatorship by the self-proclaimed betters’. Not much different than traditional British royalty. They are allowing people to be terrorized, and this is OK to them, as long as they remain ‘in charge’ and can virtue signal about how superior they are in their embrace of diversity.

In Britain, you are a “subject” while here in the U.S., you are a “citizen”.

” Hard to believe they would discriminate against all that talent. Itโ€™s their voting patterns I have a problem with.”

They voted 60-80% Conservative (or related parties) in most of the elections since 2010, and have steadily moved right for a generation.

There is a lot of variation in that figure, with the exception of the Orthodox (strongly Reform party), they don’t vote in a block.

,,, how clever - show up on the patch and talk with emergency staff, but just carefully keeping clear of the affected community. That will assure muslims he’s their man. Starmer is the ultimate self worshipper.

They better not be looking for Americans to protect them. They have voted in garbage for decades and belittling anybody with solid Christian values and morals...
