London Jews Seeing No Backlash
As police in London continued to hunt for those responsible for four terrorist bombings last week that claimed at least 52 lives — including four of the British-born suicide bombers themselves — Jewish leaders vowed to combat any increase in anti-Semitism but said none had arisen.
“In the immediate aftermath, there is nothing of that,” Jon Benjamin, chief executive of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, told The Jewish Week Monday. “It was reported in The Times that when they interviewed some young Muslim Bangladeshis in the East End of London and asked their initial thoughts, they said it was probably the Israelis behind it. But that was included in the paper because it was such an outrageous suggestion.”
