00:00Earlier today on Yom Kippur, the holiest day for the Jewish community, a vile individual
00:08committed a terrorist attack that attacked Jews because they are Jews and attacked Britain
00:16because of our values.
00:19So many Jewish families first came to this country as a place of refuge, fleeing the
00:25greatest evil ever inflicted on a people and Britain welcomed them.
00:31Communities like the one attacked in Manchester provided safety, but also the security that
00:38comes from a promise that this is a country that stands up to hatred and that we don't
00:45just provide refuge, we provide a home.
00:50For so many Jewish families, that is the story of Britain.
00:56But Britain is also a country where Jewish buildings, synagogues, even schools require round-the-clock
01:04protection, where dedicated specialist security is necessary because of the daily threat of
01:11anti-Semitic hatred.
