British Jews are scared: UK PM Keir Starmer in plea against antisemitism

LONDON: (Apr 30) British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday visited the scene of the terrorist attack in which two Jewish men were stabbed on a street in north-west London and made a plea against the rise of antisemitism in the country.

Starmer was heckled by a group of protesters waving placards that read “Starmer Jew Harmer” during his tour of Golders Green, a prominent Jewish neighbourhood of the UK capital and the scene of Wednesday's knife attack.

The 45-year-old Somalia-born British man arrested for the double stabbings of men aged 76 and 34 has since been named as Essa Suleiman.
