"A #ReformUK mayoral candidate has described members of a #Jewish neighbourhood watch group as “cosplayers” and likened them to “#Islamists on horseback” in comments made after an attack on #ambulances run by a Jewish charity.

#ChrisParry, who remains #Reform’s mayoral candidate for #Hampshire despite a previous controversy in which he said #DavidLammy should “go home” to the #Caribbean, made the comments on Monday about #Shomrim, a group of volunteers who safeguard communities including #Orthodox Jewish families.

#Parry, a retired rear admiral, retweeted a post on X by #CatherineBlaiklock, a co-founder of the #Brexit party, hours after news of the attack on the ambulances in north #London emerged.

Shomrim works alongside #Hatzola, the charity #ambulance service that was targeted by #arsonists early on Monday morning and provides #emergency #medical response and transportation to #hospitals for both Jewish and non-Jewish people."

"In the early hours of Monday morning, four #ambulances belonging to #Hatzalah – the volunteer #Jewish #emergencyservice that provides medical care to #Jews and non-Jews alike, whose name literally translates to ‘rescue’ or ‘relief’ – were set on fire outside a #synagogue in #GoldersGreen.

Nobody was killed, though.

That is a fact that will be noted often, as a form of reassurance for the Jewish community of #London, to which I belong. But that argument must not be allowed to carry too much weight.

The issue is that ambulances are functional objects: they exist to close the gap between #medical crisis and subsequent medical care. To target them is an act of interference – a deliberate degradation of the Jews’ capacity to respond to #emergencies."
