Speaking after visiting the Golders Green area of London-where two Jewish men were stabbed-he said people are afraid to show thay are Jewish and promised faster, more forceful enforcement and legislation targeting those who \u201ccondone\u201d or \u201ccelebrate\u201d violence.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer specifically criticized pro-palestine demonstrations that he linked to calls for violence, including references to the \u201cveneration of the murder of Jews.\u201d He also said he would move against groups and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >charities promoting antisemitic extremism<\/a>, bar hate preachers, and push for quicker sentences for antisemitic crimes.<\/p>\n<p>The attack is being treated by authorities as terrorism. The suspect was reportedly subdued before police arrived by a volunteer Jewish security group, and an Iran-aligned organization has claimed responsibility. In response to a broader rise in islamist and extreme rightwing threats, the UK terrorism alert level was raised to \u201csevere,\u201d indicating another attack is considered highly likely.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/keir-starmer\/\">British Prime Minister Keir Starmer<\/a>, long accused of failing to act in the face of rising antisemitic incidents, is now promising to use the \u201cfull power of the state\u201d to prosecute those who celebrate or condone violence.<\/p>\n<p>Starmer visited Thursday the scene of this week\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/4547496\/jewish-londoners-stabbed-golders-green-antisemitic-attacks\/\">stabbings in Golders Green<\/a>, where he was greeted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-depth-ripple-effects-of-roe-reversal-still-felt-one-year-later\/\" title=\"One year later, ripple effects of Roe reversal still felt.\">demonstrators carrying signs<\/a> and chanting \u201cKeir Starmer, Jew Harmer.\u201d <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4549718\/first-commercial-flight-us-venezuela-seven-years\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>After seven years, the first commercial flight from US to Venezuela takes off<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4549083\/iran-mojtaba-khamenei-declares-us-only-place-persian-gulf-bottom-waters\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Iran\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/irans-leader-declares-uss-only-place-in-gulf-is-at-the-bottom-of-its-waters\/\" title=\"Iran&#039;s leader declares US&#039;s only place in Gulf is &#039;at the bottom of its waters&#039;\">unseen leader declares<\/a> US\u2019s only place in Gulf is \u2018at the bottom of its waters\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4547532\/iranian-currency-all-time-low-us-blockade\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Iranian currency hits all-time low amid US blockade<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Having previously made a boilerplate statement about antisemitism being unacceptable in Britain, the premier offered a far stronger message in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yUTOF_assa8\">televised speech<\/a> from 10 Downing Street.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>\u201cPeople are scared \u2014 scared to show who they are in their community, scared to go to synagogue to practice their religion, scared to go to university as a Jew, to send their children to school as a Jew, to tell their colleagues that they are Jewish, even to use our [National Health Service],\u201d he told the public.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Met Police Commissioner Mark Rowley, left, listens to Prime Minister Keir Starmer during a meeting following Wednesday\u2019s stabbing of two Jewish men in the Golders Green neighborhood in north London, Thursday, April 30, 2026.
