TIL there is a Jewish ambulance group in England.

Speaking from a point of ignorance, I assume they are similar to St. John's Ambulance in terms of services & that they treat everyone regardless of any faith?

Accountants, plumbers, surveyors – whatever it might be, they’ve all got day jobs. Everyone has got kits in their car, everyone responds from wherever they are,” said Yossi Richman, on life as a trained volunteer paramedic at Hatzola, the ambulance service funded by Jewish giving.

Richman also serves as a governance lead at Hatzola in Golders Green, north London, where four ambulances were attacked by arsonists in the early hours of Monday morning.

The attack has left Jewish communities reeling. But alongside the concerns about community safety amid rising antisemitism, there’s a determination to protect the humanitarian civic principles Hatzola represents.

“It’s not just a Jewish service. If a call comes from within the area, they will come to your aid, whoever you are. There’s no cost to anyone and even on the sabbath, they’ll go to any case,” said Andrew Walters, an Orthodox Jewish councillor in Greater Manchester, which is home to one of the country’s busiest Hatzola services.

@Spoonman and @davidjay

I was equally ignorant of them until today, what filled me in was the last hour of Iain Dale's show on LBC. They are indeed like St John's Ambulance a charity funded and staffed by Jewish volunteers. Yes they attend anyone of any faith or creed and are a useful supplement to the NHS. But they're Jewish so therefore need burning of course.

You can listen to Iain Dale's segment (the last hour) on rising antisemitism in the UK which includes a description of Hatzola's work, here: https://www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lb ... Fay3HZhE3/

I see the nut job conspiracists haven’t passed up this opportunity.

Even though they have to ignore that Starmer has labelled it as a Hate crime but it’s easy because you know they know Starmer’s thinking better than Starmer.

Alternative "nut job conspiracists" are certain that the attack was obviously a Mossad false flag operation because "only Jews would burn an ambulance".
