With Amy Zewe
This week’s Red Alert Report features a serious and urgent discussion with Steven Jaffe from Northern Ireland Friends of Israel (follow, like, and share on Facebook). Steven joins us to highlight a deeply concerning incident that received little media coverage—yet indicates the growing danger facing Jewish communities across the United Kingdom.
On March 23, terrorists with suspected ties to Iran targeted Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer ambulance service in Golders Green, London. Four ambulances were destroyed in a deliberate attack. This was not random vandalism. It was a targeted assault on a lifesaving service that responds to emergencies for anyone—Jewish or not.
This episode was originally recorded just after the March 23 attack on the ambulances located in Golders Green. Our programming schedule has delayed its release until May 6. It is with horror that we report a second violent incident occurred in Golders Green on April 29, 2026, when two Jewish men were attacked and stabbed with a knife. The perpetrator has been arrested, and the entire community remains on high alert.
Steven helps us understand why this attack is part of a much larger pattern. Antisemitic incidents in the UK have surged to some of the highest levels ever recorded. Jewish families are facing harassment in public spaces, synagogues and cemeteries are being vandalized, and physical assaults are increasing. The destruction of Hatzola’s ambulances is a chilling reminder that hatred does not remain abstract—it becomes action.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- What happened during the March 23 attack on Hatzola
- Why this incident reflects a broader rise in antisemitism across the UK
- How Jewish communities are coping with fear, vulnerability, and daily harassment
- The essential role Hatzola plays in emergency response and community care
- What allies—especially Christians—can do to stand with the Jewish community
Why This Matters
Antisemitism is not a “Jewish issue.” It is a societal issue. History shows that when Jewish communities are targeted, the moral health of the entire society is at risk. Steven’s insights remind us that silence and indifference only embolden hatred.
How We Can Respond
- Raise awareness about what is happening—especially when the media does not
- Support security efforts for Jewish institutions, including Hatzalah’s need for a secure ambulance depot. The link to help is here: Hatzola NW – Charity Extra
https://www.charityextra.com/hatzola-emergency/282665 - Engage local leaders to ensure antisemitism is addressed with seriousness and transparency
- Build bridges between Christian and Jewish communities, strengthening solidarity in times of rising hostility
This episode is a call to vigilance, compassion, and action. The attack on Hatzola is more than a local incident—it is a warning sign that demands our attention.
Thank you for standing with us as we continue to inform, educate, and activate Christians to understand the truth about Israel, the Jewish people, and the challenges they face around the world.
