Two people were injured in a stabbing attack that appears to have deliberately targeted Jews in one of London's most visibly Jewish neighborhoods. This follows a surge in threats and attacks against Jewish homes, synagogues, and community spaces across the UK. This is part of a broader pattern unfolding worldwide, with Jews being targeted in the United States, Canada, Australia, and across Europe. Public spaces are becoming points of vulnerability, and visibly Jewish individuals are increasingly at risk. This is what happens when antisemitism is allowed to escalate in plain sight. Jews should not have to hide who they are or change how they live in order to feel safe. Authorities must respond with immediate and visible action — through enforcement, protection, and accountability. The International March of the Living was founded on the principle that "Never Again" is a responsibility. That responsibility applies here and now. We stand with the victims and with the Jewish community in the UK and around the world.
