London – Survivors Against Terror (SAT), a coalition of terror attack survivors and bereaved relatives, has released an open letter expressing unwavering support for the Jewish community in the UK, denouncing the recent surge in antisemitic attacks and warning against any attempt to rationalize or excuse such acts of hatred.

The letter, signed by individuals impacted by 19 separate terror attacks, underscores the importance of moral clarity and unwavering condemnation of antisemitism. It directly challenges the notion that actions by the State of Israel can justify attacks on Jewish individuals or institutions in the UK. The group argues that such justifications create a dangerous climate in which violence is normalized and emboldened.

The recent attacks on Shloime Rand, Moshe Shine, and Ishmail Hussein, allegedly perpetrated by Essa Suleiman, 45, serve as a stark reminder of the ever-present threat of extremism. These incidents, coupled with a broader increase in antisemitic incidents, have prompted calls for stronger law enforcement measures and a renewed focus on combating radicalization.

The UK government's decision to raise the terror threat level from “substantial” to “severe,” citing growing Islamist and extreme right-wing threats, reflects the escalating challenges facing national security. Conservatives argue that the government must prioritize the safety and security of its citizens and take decisive action to disrupt and dismantle terrorist networks.

Brendan Cox, co-founder of Survivors Against Terror and widower of the late MP Jo Cox, who was murdered by a right-wing extremist, emphasizes the need for unequivocal support for the Jewish community. He stresses that there can be no equivocating or offering half-measures when it comes to condemning antisemitism. Cox warns against the dangers of political correctness and the erosion of traditional values.

Jo Berry, co-founder of SAT and daughter of a victim of the IRA Brighton hotel bombing, argues that combating antisemitism requires a renewed commitment to national unity and the defense of Western civilization. She advocates for policies that strengthen families, promote patriotism, and uphold the rule of law.

The letter from Survivors Against Terror serves as a call for a return to traditional values and a rejection of the divisive ideologies that fuel hatred and extremism. The group's advocacy emphasizes the importance of strong borders, robust national defense, and a renewed focus on assimilation. The group seeks to encourage policies to ensure safety for all communities.
