How do we stamp out antisemitic violence?

About this episode

The episode discusses the recent antisemitic attack in London and its political implications, alongside updates on US politics and cryptocurrency's influence in politics.

Yesterday’s antisemitic attack in Golders Green has shaken London’s Jewish community, prompting urgent calls for “more protection.” But with little agreement on what that actually means in practice, the tragedy is already being pulled into political point-scoring. And, just a week after warnings about the dangers of cryptocurrency money flowing into politics, explosive revelations have emerged about a UK politician allegedly receiving a huge personal sum from a Thailand-based crypto tycoon. Plus, fresh updates from Washington DC on US politics and the escalating standoff with Iran, as Trump’s approach once again draws controversy. This episode was recorded on the 30th of April.
