"I would like to thank the woman at the polling station who came to the aid of the victim and helped him leave the premises to find a safe place."The London police arrested the man on suspicion of a "racially/religiously aggravated public order offense."The Jewish community of the United Kingdom may have more large-scale concerns in the near-future. The Labour party, led by Jeremy Corbyn, gained several seats in Thursday's election. British Jewish leaders have repeatedly accused Corbyn of doing too little to curb the proliferation of antisemitic rhetoric among his followers. Corbyn also harbors pro-Palestinian sympathies, further concerning some British Jews. A Jewish Chronicle poll from late May showed British Jewish support for Labour at just 13 percent.JTA contributed to this article.See more onjewish community london|london jewish communityRECOMMENDED STORIESIranian rocket falls in Tel Aviv in latest barrage, at least 62wounded, one killedJUNE 12, 2025Israel trying to persuade US to join in continuing strikes on Iran, sources tell 'Post'JUNE 13, 2025Vacation ruse, phantom trip, hostage decoy: How Israel misled Tehran before Iran strikeJUNE 13, 2025Mossad leads series of secret attack operations in heart of IranJUNE 13, 2025
