The British government Thursday called antisemitism in the U.K. an “emergency,” and said it would spend millions increasing security around Jewish sites after a string of arson attacks and a double stabbing.
The government announced 25 million pounds ($34 million) for more police patrols and protection around synagogues, schools and community centers after two Jewish men were stabbed and seriously injured in London’s Golders Green neighborhood on Wednesday. The victims, aged 34 and 76, are in stable condition.
