Speaking about their plans to make aliyah, Daniella\u00a0said: \u201cIt does seem on the outside weird that you\u2019d want to go to a war zone.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople [in Israel] worry about us. They ask us how are we coping with the antisemitism. [Because] you never know when some random person is going to come out on the street and stab you or set fire to something. That\u2019s when you have to be worried.\u201d<\/p>\n
Outside the health sector, Baruch, who only wanted to give his first name, said he had also been subjected to antisemitic abuse in public, including being told to “go back where you came from”, and threatened with having acid thrown in his face.<\/p>\n
Before moving back to north London this year, he said he and his family had lived in Manchester and had been attending a neighbouring shul\u00a0when Jihad Al-Shamie launched his attack at\u00a0Heaton Park synagogue, resulting in the deaths of Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrowing up here, in north west London, I never thought I\u2019d be scared to live as a Jew walking round with a cap on, if I\u2019m with my daughter, not showing that I\u2019m openly Jewish,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s something that I never thought about growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: \u201cThese reports are shocking. It is unacceptable that people do not currently feel safe working in and using the health service.<\/p>\n
\u201cRecent incidents of antisemitism have drawn stark attention to problems of culture and how racist incidents are addressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis government has been clear that change is needed and that the medical healthcare professional regulatory system is failing to protect Jewish patients and NHS staff. That\u2019s why the prime minister ordered an urgent review, led by Lord Mann, into antisemitism and all forms of racism in the health service. We will use every tool at our disposal to make sure Jewish NHS staff feel safe at work.\u201d<\/p>\n
ITV’s report\u00a0comes amid a series of incidents targeting members of the Jewish community and Jewish organisations in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
Last month, a group of teenage Jewish girls travelling by bus to Brent Cross Shopping Centre were allegedly subjected to antisemitic abuse by five boys aged between 12 and 15. The boys reportedly performed Nazi salutes, praised Adolf Hitler and told the girls: “Hitler didn’t manage to get you, but we will.”<\/p>\n
Police told the JC that no arrests had been made because of the suspects’ ages, but that arrangements had been made for each of the boys to speak with hate crime officers.<\/p>\n In a separate incident the same week, 22-year-old Israeli national Shalev Ben-Yakar alleged that he was assaulted by a group of five or six men in Golders Green, leaving him close to being unconscious.<\/p>\nLondon NHS doctor Baruch, and his wife Daniella (Credit: ITV\/YouTube)[Missing Credit]<\/a> <\/p>\n
