Jewish schools in the United Kingdom have taken extra security measures over fears for the children and antisemitism amid Israel's war with Hamas.
Jewish schools in the United Kingdom have stepped up security over fears of antisemitism that could be directed at children amid Israel's war with Hamas. Police patrols around some schools have increased in and around London and Manchester, the BBC reported. Parents have said they fear for their children's safety.
The most important thing is to ensure the safe passage of students between home and school and to make sure that this school is set up to care for our children during the school day,' headteacher David Moody said in an email to parents, according to the news outlet. Added a person identified only as Suzi, whose 14-year-old son attends the school: 'The waves that are rippling through go beyond the school to the community.' In Manchester, attendance at a Jewish school has dropped.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman wrote to police chiefs in England and Wales urging them to use the 'full force of the law' against shows of support for Hamas or attempts to intimidate the UK's Jewish community, the BBC said. 'Behaviors that are legitimate in some circumstances, for example the waving of a Palestinian flag, may not be legitimate such as when intended to glorify acts of terrorism,' Braverman wrote.
