Lone Wolf Stabs Jewish Men in London, Antisemitism Surges

0:00On April 29, two Jewish men got stabbed in Golders Green, London, Wednesday, around 1115 in the morning and what's being treated as a terror attack fueled by anti-Semitism. The victims are 34-year-old, Shlowein Rand, and 76-year-old Moshe Shine, both stable in hospital now. A 45-year-old guy with a violent past did the stabbing and got arrested on attempted murder charges after cops tasered him. Shlowein had just left synagogue prayers and was heading to his car when the attacker jumped him, knife-missing his vital organs by centimeters. Shine was waiting at a bus stop after his own prayers when he got hit, caught on CCTV. Bystanders and Jewish security group Shomrum jumped in quick to help hold the guy down until police arrived. Family and friends are heartbroken, calling the victims' pillars of their orthodox community. Hardworking folks targeted just for looking Jewish. One friend said, Shine's a quiet daily prayer-goer, now with serious neckworms.

1:02Folks in the area feel unsafe, especially after recent fire bombings of Jewish ambulances and arsons on synagogues nearby. Police say the attackers alone wolf known to them and derriticalization programs no links to groups or states like Iran so far. Officials from the Prime Minister to the Home Secretary condemned it, promising more protection funding, but Jewish leaders say words aren't. Stuff need real action on rising hate. Protests hit the streets that evening, with crowds calling out leaders for not doing enough amid this wave of attacks. The Jewish community stays resilient, but everyone's pushing for change to end this fear on London streets.
