00:00We will strengthen the visible police presence in our Jewish communities. We
00:06will increase our investment in those Jewish security services. We will
00:11introduce much stronger powers to shut down charities that promote anti-Semitic
00:17extremism. We will prevent hate preachers from entering our country, bar them from
00:24our campuses, our streets, our communities. Work with our justice system to speed up
00:31sentencing on anti-Semitic attacks so there is a stronger deterrence factor, as we
00:38do with riots. And we need stronger powers to tackle the malign threat posed by
00:46states like Iran, because we know for a fact that they want to harm British Jews.
00:53Which is why we will fast-track the necessary legislation.
