Two Jewish Men Stabbed in London
(The Times-UK) David Woode - Two Jewish men were stabbed in broad daylight within minutes of each other in Golders Green on Wednesday. Moshe Shine, 76, and Shlomo Rand, 34, were in stable condition in hospital. The suspect, a British national born in Somalia, 45, tried to stab police officers before he was tasered and arrested. Attacks on Jewish communities have soared in the wake of October 7. Sir Mark Rowley, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, said: "This is another horrendous act of violence directed at our Jewish communities. Too many Jewish people in this country feel they have to make choices that no Briton should ever have to make, about how they dress, where they go, or how visibly they live their lives. That is completely unacceptable and has gone on for far too long." Sir Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi, said, "Words of condemnation are no longer sufficient. This must be a moment that demands meaningful action from every institution, every community, every leader and every decent person in our country."
