The British government has announced more than £250 million ($335 million) in funding over three years to strengthen security for Jewish communities across the UK, following a surge in antisemitic attacks and arson targeting Jewish sites. The package includes 500 additional police officers across England and Wales, with 300 officers dedicated to London and 80 to Greater Manchester. Funding also covers expanded counterterrorism resources and security at synagogues, schools, and community centers. The announcement follows the Community Security Trust recording approximately 3,700 antisemitic incidents in 2025, one of the highest totals ever recorded in Britain. No Jewish community should need this level of protection to simply live their lives. And yet, here we are.

On Sunday, 120 years to the day after French Captain Alfred Dreyfus was exonerated, a statue in his honor was installed at its permanent home outside the Cour de Cassation in Paris - the very court that cleared his name.

Justice was a long time coming. But it came.
