    Jewish or Israeli?

    The distinction matters.

      This might be a dumb time to ask this question. It’s an ambulance service in London. It’s Bri’ish.

      Not exactly. The Orthodox Jews run their own service in a lot of places. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatzalah

      I’m not familiar with situation in the UK, but in other countries there are NGOs that try to complement the national healthcare services, ranging from financing ambulances to at home care. They are often tied to religious movements.

      At a quick glance, Hatzola Northwest seems to provide services for free to everyone in their catchment area, so any segregation is geographic in origin.

      Nope, it is an adjunct funded by the Jewish community to avoid accidental things not approved of (can’t list what as I can’t recall).

        I believe it has to do with Kosher blood.

    Jewish people throughout the world reap what Israel has sown

    Having said that, don’t think for a second that this group aren’t Zionists

      Not at all relevant if they’re zionist or not. It’s a volunteer ambulance service

        I disagree

        And if you’ve seen how orthodox jews treat other people in London, you might sing a different song

          Civilians are civilians. Nothing can ever justify attacks on healthcare infrastructure. That’s an absolute

    This is an antisemitic attack. The perpetrators must be brought to justice.

    Nothing to do with critical views about Israel’s unlawful and illegitimate / inhumane violence. The perpetrators must be brought to justice.
