CNN) Several ambulances belonging to a Jewish volunteer rescue organization were set on fire outside a synagogue in Londons Golders Green neighborhood in the early hours of Monday, in an apparent anti-Semitic attack.
Security camera footage shared with CNN showed three masked individuals approach an ambulance belonging to Hatzola Northwest and set it on fire.
The timestamp on the video reads 1:36 a.m Monday morning and the location marked reads Machzikei Hadath, which matches the name of the adjacent synagogue.
Hatzola Northwest Chairman Shloimie Richman confirmed to CNN that four of the organizations ambulances had been set alight, saying they were deliberately targeted in an arson attack.

(17,145 posts)These war profiteers have ensured that people will be embattled forever thanks to their parasitic greed.
I was just looking up quantum Darwinism and thinking that what would be the odds that even 200 years into industrial society a purely deregulated hell that is a cancer on the planet, its life (including humans) headed up by a diverse group of people in every region on earth whose main characteristic is parasitism, greed, mercenary thinking, an aversion to limits and homeostasis and critical thinking, a populace that blames all the wrong things..
What are the odds that only such a piece of shit society is possible? Is there a reason rapists, parasites and prostitutes proliferate at the top who attack scientists, doctors, the poor, the struggling while having their own imperious empires and setting us at each others throats? How can this be the only possibility?
Dysgenics that thinks it is engaged in eugenics. Eugenics is a noxious notion that those engaged in conscious dysgenics tend to favor. No humility, no compunction, no positive qualities at all..
They have perverted meaning to the point where the images of different values in most humans minds are shaped by the only types of people who thrive.

(60,139 posts)Both cities also have smaller, but equally visible Jewish communities. As long as each accepts the presence of the other, things like this dont happen. But it only takes a few hotheads to start a battle that brings a proxy Middle East war to the heart of Europe, and that never ends well. If tolerance for extremism prevails, it wont stop with four ambulances. Weve already seen the rewards of such tolerance here in Germany and in neighboring Belgium. Since extremists never get what they want, next up is multi-fatality bombs in airport terminals, such as we have had in Frankfurt and Brussels. Since well over 95% of the Muslim community is against crap like this, the British government will have to tread carefully in trying to suppress extremism without pissing off the mainstream. They will need to try. Jews will defend themselves if their host governments refuse.

(60,139 posts)If it was a group of juvenile Muslims, all they accomplished is something they can brag about for five days until its forgotten, or theyre arrested (or both).
If it was a non-Muslim group whose objective was to make people angry at Muslims, they probably accomplished their goal, but short term, as European Jews are used to this kind of attack by now.

really, really dumb
RandySF
(83,856 posts)Synagogues and other Jewish facilities are frequently subject to threats. Even here in San Francisco I know of a day care program that periodically has to evaluate.
It makes perfect sense to have emergency services on the premises.

(40,473 posts)Synagogues and facilities are what people are accustomed to hearing about as targets
Exposing something people didn't know about can put a defensive burden on an already vulnerable population

(22,647 posts)Implying it is anything other than an antisemitic act; why do you suggest it could be a false flag.
It is not a case of Jewish people having their own ambulances. It is a Jewish run charity that provides transport to both Jews and non-Jews. It probably is no surprise to the people of London this organization exists.
