Summary

Daniel Sugarman is the deputy editor of Jewish News. He's written eloquently about the impacts of antisemitic attacks on Jewish communities, including the one at the start of this week that saw the torching of ambulances owned and operated - for the benefit of people of all faiths and none - by a Jewish charity. This took place in the car park of a synagogue in Golders Green, an area where many Jewish Londoners live.


Jewish News also recently ran a powerful editorial in response to extraordinary and virulent attacks by right-wing politicians on an entirely legal and tranquil open iftar that took place in Trafalgar Square, defending the right of Muslims to celebrate their faith in public spaces (as many other religions do in Trafalgar Square).


We spoke about all of the above along with the double standards and ulterior motives found among politicians and campaigners on both Right and Left in their attitudes to Jews and antisemitism, especially in the current, anxious climate. Daniel also set out his concerns about the laws relating to protest marches.
