'We have not done enough to tackle antisemitism', admits cabinet minister in wake of Bondi attackBy Ben Bloch, political reporterIn the wake of the Manchester synagogue attack and the Bondi beach massacre, a cabinet minister has admitted that the UK government has not done enough to tackle antisemitism. "The battle we're facing now is the battle to win hearts and minds, and it's a battle that requires the silent majority to speak up." He was determined to murder myself, my friends, and my family simply because we were Jewish." He said Jews had "pleaded with those in positions of power to listen", but seen no substantial action. And Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey called for a "comprehensive strategy" to tackle antisemitism, vowing to work cross-party to ensure that Britain is "the safest place in the world" for Jewish people to live.
