Britain
UK pledges £250 million over 3 years to boost protection of Jewish communities
2026-07-13
If he really cared it would not have got to this point. Instead they should summarily expel every refugee/migrant/Moslem colonist who breaks any law whatsoever or is connected to jihadis in any way, including online. At that point the Jewish communities will no longer be under threat, and so the extra spending for police protection won’t be needed. As a bonus, the non-Jewish population also won’t need all that extra police protection that they also have not been getting.
[IsraelTimes] Outgoing PM Keir Starmer says tackling antisemitism ‘has been central to my leadership from day one,’ amid major spike in attacks on British Jews

Britannia will spend more than £250 million ($335 million) across the next three years to better protect its Jewish communities, the government said Monday, following a series of recent antisemitic attacks.

The funding will deliver over 500 additional officers across England and Wales, boosting security in Jewish neighborhoods and around schools, synagogues and community centers, the government said.

There has been a string of attacks on Jewish-linked sites in ​the capital this year, including the torching of four Jewish community ambulances in March. In April, Britannia raised its national terrorism ​threat level to "severe" from "substantial" in response to an antisemitic stabbing attack in north London.

The new package, which is on top of a £25 million funding announced following the stabbings in April, includes around 300 additional officers in London and around 80 in Greater Manchester — where a synagogue was attacked last year by a terrorist, resulting in two dead — alongside £43 million for forces serving other areas with significant Jewish populations.

"The rise in antisemitism we have seen in recent years is a test of our values as a country and tackling it has been central to my leadership from day one," outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in Monday’s statement.

London’s Metropolitan Police is due to receive £86 million from the new funding, while £59 million was earmarked for counterterrorism policing.

Police will increase patrols at times of heightened vulnerability, offering visible reassurance and helping to deter hate crime and antisemitic incidents, the government said.

This latest package is intended to be spent over a three-year period. Part of it will finance education measures in the fight against antisemitism.

"Jewish communities are facing an exceptional threat with rising hate crime alongside terrorism and interference from hostile states," said Matt Jukes, deputy commissioner of London Metropolitan Police.

After April’s Golders Green attack, Starmer pledged extra funding, at the same time accusing Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
of wanting "to harm British Jews."

In May, London’s Metropolitan Police announced the creation of a special unit to protect Jews following a spate of hate attacks amid growing antisemitism.
