      I’m not familiar with situation in the UK, but in other countries there are NGOs that try to complement the national healthcare services, ranging from financing ambulances to at home care. They are often tied to religious movements.

      At a quick glance, Hatzola Northwest seems to provide services for free to everyone in their catchment area, so any segregation is geographic in origin.

      Nope, it is an adjunct funded by the Jewish community to avoid accidental things not approved of (can’t list what as I can’t recall).

      Two things:

      1. It’s not restricted the the UK. Hartzola (the various orthodox Jewish ambulances services) operate all over the world.
      2. Although they tend to be based in majority Jewish areas, they don’t restrict their service to Jews, as part of their code.

    This is an antisemitic attack. The perpetrators must be brought to justice.

    Nothing to do with critical views about Israel’s unlawful and illegitimate / inhumane violence. The perpetrators must be brought to justice.

      Yes, the perpetrators must be brought to justice.

      No, we shouldn’t assume it’s an anti-Jewish attack…given the current situation re Israel.

        If you’re attacking a Jewish organization just for being Jewish and assuming that means they bear the burden of Israeli crimes you’re an anti-semite.

        If you attack an ambulance performing medical duties for any reason, you’re a peace of shit that deserves to get got and are almost certainly being a bigot of some form.

          Agree with both. But neither are parts of the facts of the event to my knowledge. I’d prefer that we knew something about the attackers and their motivations before we jump to antisemitism.

          Commenters like you not being able to separate an ethnicity from a nationality are no different to the motivations you ascribe to the unknown attacker, as far as bigotry is concerned.

        An exerpt from “the big book of rules of how to be a decent human being” for you

        "Rule 1. Dont be a cunt.

        The end."

        This concludes the big book of rules of how to be a decent human being.

        And yes, despitethe actions of the settler state, and the actions of britain that led to ths creation of said genocidal state, there are still laws in the UK to protect EVERYONE, even if they fall for propaganda and support hateful things.

        Someone far smarter than I am said

        “If you don’t support human rights for everyone, you don’t support human rights at all.”

          I dont think we disagree on the general direction of what justice would be. Im pessimistic it can happen there.

          Im really fucking sick of clarifying this. I know the full responsibility of my frustration does not fall on you and it may not be fair to demand an answer to the following question but i do hope i can still ask without offending:

          Why the fuck is the default assumption that my expectations and hopes are the same, with no gulf between them? What the actual fuck is fucking wrong with so fucking many people, including yourself?

          Are you all children? Do you assume im a child? If you assume im a child, is this some sort of default or do i raise some sort of flag?

          If you are not a child or assuming im a child then how on earth do you expect depth or nuance when every statement must conform to your immediate visceral emotional response and assume is=aught?

            You asked “Must they” as if there was a situation whete they shouldn’t be punished to the full extent of the law (at the very least that’s my interpretation of your question) and then called the uk a terf country that doesn’t have any laws.

            Hence my joke about the big book of rules

                Nobody said “should”?

                Genuinely don’t get where the distinction is, like “they must get punished” and “they should get punished” say the same thing

                Unless you’re thinking along the lines of “they will” vs “they should”, in which case I get where you’re coming from

    Jewish people throughout the world reap what Israel has sown

    Having said that, don’t think for a second that this group aren’t Zionists

      Hartzola? They’re not Zionists, to my knowledge. They tend to be Jewish orthodox healthcare professionals, most of whom are neutral on Zionism, and some who are even anti-Zionist.

    I’d be interested to know who did this, and why, rather than knee-jerk to anti-Jewish violence. I would first assume that the violence is anti-Israel, with no information, given the current political climate.

    It’s my understanding that Hatzola aren’t politically active and that some of their members are actually anti-Zionists. If they were targeted by anti-Zionists, then these criminals are ignorant, stupid, or anti-Jewish…I wouldn’t assume the latter.
