Statement on the appalling Hatzola arson attack

HIAS+JCORE is alarmed by the antisemitic arson attack on four Hatzola ambulances this morning.

While we are relieved that no-one was injured, this shameful incident will heighten anxiety across the Jewish community.

Hatzola provides vital services to people of all communities and faiths. That spirit of solidarity and responsibility is so important amidst a time of growing division and tension.

Today’s attack was a cowardly assault on those compassionate principles.

But at a time of rising antisemitism, we must continue to stand together with others to build the safer, more cohesive society we all need.
