Catholic bishops and other religious leaders have condemned the anti-Semitic terror attack in Golders Green, after two Jewish men were stabbed in broad daylight in north-west London in an assault that has intensified fears within Britain’s Jewish community. The attack, which police have described as terrorism, prompted a swift chorus of solidarity from Christian and Jewish figures, along with renewed calls for stronger action against anti-Semitism and violent extremism.
Archbishop Richard Moth said he was praying for the victims and praised the police officers whose intervention prevented further bloodshed. He added that Christians must stand firmly against hatred and violence directed at any person on account of faith.
