Picture shows Kenton Synagogue
The situation in Britain regarding attacks on synagogues is getting worse and worse. Recently it appears that we are getting one firebombing of a synagogue or of Jewish organisations per week.
The latest attack was in Kenton in North West London when an incendiary device was thrown through the window of the synagogue.
The London Evening Standard reported:
"Counter-terror police are investigating the “firebombing” of a synagogue in north London, the latest in a “terrifying” spate of arson attacks on the Jewish community in London.
Police were called to Kenton United Synagogue in Shaftesbury Avenue, Harrow, at around midnight after a bottle containing an accelerant was thrown through a window.
It caused smoke damage, but there were no injuries and no significant structural damage."
The initial fire was apparently spotted by routine police ‘reassurance patrols’ in an area that has within it a lot of Jews. If these Metropolitan Police officers had not spotted the fire at an early stage then this could have had far greater impact.
As before there is speculation that this as with other Jew hatred related attacks in London is the work of the Iranian Islamic regime and this cannot be ruled out. It’s quite possible that the Iranian government is paying criminals in Britain to attack British Jews something which is quite the escalation from what we’ve seen in previous years.
Of course the Prime Minister has decried this attack but it’s unlikely that his government will do anything to stop this problem getting even more out of hand. This is because the ruling Labour Party has significant problems with both Jew hatred among its own members and supporters and because the Labour Party cannot robustly protect Britain’s Jews without upsetting the millions of Jew hating Muslims that comprise Labour’s new ‘core vote’.
I’d like to think that things will get better for Britain’s Jews but I’m cynical enough and knowledgable enough about history to not be all that optimistic.
