Israel-Gaza attacks: Parents scared as Jewish schools' security increases

Mar 22,2022 8:39 pm

By Gem O'Reilly and Marie Jackson, BBC News

Jewish schools have stepped up security as concerns grow about a possible rise in antisemitism directed at children.

Patrols have increased around some schools in London and Manchester, with parents telling The Bbc they are " scared" for their children's safety.

Some pupils have been told blazers are optional in public places so they cannot be easily identified as Jewish.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said the safety of the UK's Jewish community was an " absolute priority".

" History has shown us that Jews in the UK are targeted in response to actions in the Middle East , completely inappropriately so, " he told The Bbc .

Three Days after Hamas launched a murderous assault on Israel, More Than 900 people are known to have died. Retaliatory strikes on Gaza have killed almost 690, Palestinian authorities say.

Pupils at the Jewish Free School in Kenton, North London , have been told there will be no after-school detentions and wearing a blazer with The School 's logo is optional.

" The Most important thing is to ensure the Safe Passage of students between home and school and to make sure that this school is Set Up to care for Our Children during The School day, " headteacher David Moody said in an email to parents.

Suzi, whose 14-year-old son attends The School , said: " The Waves that are rippling through go beyond The School to the community.

" As a parent it's very hard because you want to protect Your Children , both emotionally and physically. "

Her elder daughter, aged 18, was a former pupil at The School and two years below

" He was walking the same corridors as her, " said Suzi, whose full name We Are not using.

She Said that " sadly" as a Jewish community, they were used to strict security in communal places.

" This is just stepping up on Another Level because of what has happened. We Are All In a state of shock and mourning, " she added.

In Manchester, at another Jewish School , attendance has dropped off and there have been increased police patrols.

John Dalziel , headteacher at King David School, said police had been on site on Tuesday morning to try to reassure pupils and parents.

He is also advising students to consider Taking Off blazers or covering The Crest on their uniform when in public.

He Said he has told pupils to be proud of who they are and to report any antisemitic attacks.

Another mum, Michal, who has three children at Broughton Jewish Cassel Fox Primary School in Salford, said patrols in her area have increased.

" They have put extra security in place, cancelled school trips and they're making sure all doors are locked during The Day , " She Said .

" The Most terrifying thing about it is there are people on The Streets of Manchester who are actively celebrating the death of Jewish People . "

Michal, whose surname We Are not using, said despite The School doing its best to protect The Children , she feared for their safety.

The heightened security is being put in place by local police with help from the Community Security Trust, a charity which helps Jewish People in the UK with security and antisemitism.

It said it was working with the government to help co-ordinate and plan security, with a special Focus On schools.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has insisted the government was doing everything it could to keep the UK's Jewish community safe.

On Tuesday, He Said he wanted to remind everyone that Hamas was a proscribed terror organisation and anyone found supporting them would be held to account.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman has written to police chiefs in England and Wales urging them to Step Up patrols and use their powers to prevent " disorder and distress to our communities".

" There is No Place for demonstrations, convoys, or flag-waving on British streets that glorifies terrorism or harasses the Jewish community, " She Said .

On Monday, three people were arrested following a pro-Palestinian demonstration near the Israeli embassy in Kensington, west London.

Around the same time, British Jews gathered in Downing Street for a vigil to light candles for The Victims and pray for lost loved ones and those held captive.

In the prominent Jewish area of Golders Green , North London , " Free Palestine" graffiti daubed on bridges is being investigated.

" No-one should be subjected to violence or harassment because of who they are, " British Transport Police said.

In The Bbc interview, the Foreign Secretary urged UK nationals who wanted to leave Israel to use commercial transport in The First instance, as he confirmed that no UK government-facilitated evacuation was under way yet.

Asked whether that policy might change, Mr Cleverly said things were " very fast moving" and he would not " speculate as to what might happen in the future".

He Said The Situation in Israel was unlike many other consular issues because of the " very, very large number of British-Israeli nationals" many of whom regard Israel as their permanent home or are serving in the military.
