Faith Facts
- The Hatzola charity has been operated by dedicated volunteers serving North London since 1979.
- Church leaders, including the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, have stood in solidarity with the Jewish community against this violence.
- Authorities are investigating the incident as a hate crime while a militant group has claimed responsibility on social media.
A despicable arson attack on four ambulances operated by the Jewish charity Hatzola has sparked a wave of condemnation from faith leaders.
These vehicles, which serve the community of Golders Green, were targeted in the early morning hours by three unidentified suspects.
“I am shocked at the vandalism of Jewish charity Hatzola’s ambulances that serve the community in North London and condemn any attacks on faith communities,” stated Archbishop Richard Moth.
As believers, we recognize that acts of hatred against our Jewish neighbors are an affront to God and the sanctity of life.
Our prayers are with those who rely on these vital medical services during this troubling time.
Standing for truth means rejecting the poison of antisemitism and protecting the religious freedoms of all communities.
We must continue to pray for peace and the safety of those who work tirelessly to heal the sick.
