My heart goes out to the Jewish community in Golders Green.

I utterly condemn these attacks and wish the stabbing victims a full and speedy recovery.

Another horrifying attack on innocent people. I do hope the two that have been seriously injured make a full recovery.

I honestly believe our Jewish community are now the most vulnerable to terrorism, more so than any other demographic in this country.

Utter condemnation is having zero effect.

There’s not much else you and I can do?

Horrible. I’m glad they have caught the perpetrator.

Recent reports say a rising number of Jewish people no longer feel safe here and are considering emigrating. Who can blame them?

Who indeed! I think the MoL needs to put a few more police in this area, but it’s also hard to see if a random bloke suddenly bobs up and starts stabbing people how this itself could be stopped?

This community deserves to be able to about their daily basis safely.

The police are severely stretched and they are patrolling more around synagogues. It would be very difficult to stop this as random attacks such as this one can happen anywhere at any time.
It is sickening that violence against the Jewish community is getting worse. All we can do is condemn it as much as possible but it won't stop those who hate Jews carrying out this despicable and senseless violence.
Just come up on my newsfeed that a Jewish man is now stable. Wishing him well.

This problem needs much more budget spent on it. I think there needs to be a dedicated counter terrorism unit assigned to deal with anti semitism. The problem is not going away but seems to be gathering momentum. Not a satisfactory response from government so far.
