After the stabbings in Golders Green Jonathan Freedland asks whether some racial minorities are outside calls for an end to racism.
As always, this comes down to whether one can separate criticism of Israeli state actions from the lives of Jewish diaspora elsewhere.
For other countries this doesn't appear so hard (we've seen few if any Americans attacked over the years due to US actions) so why does it continue to be an issue for Jewish people?
