A Monarchy Lost

Don't be distracted by the visit of King Charles and his genuine effort to lower the tensions with one of our biggest allies across the Atlantic.

In the early '70s my grandmother lived in London and the area where two Jewish men were stabbed on the street in a heavily Orthodox neighborhood on Wednesday is not far from her old flat. Personally I have long ago abandoned the idea of travel to England other than to watch the greatest sports team the world has ever known, Manchester United. If I ever needed a reminder why I made the decision (I don't) this week was it.

"A man was arrested at the scene in Golders Green after being apprehended first by members of the Shomrim, a Jewish security force that operates in parts of London. Hatzola, the Jewish-operated nonprofit emergency service whose ambulances were recently burned in an arson, treated the two victims. Both men who were stabbed — one in his 70s and the other in his 30s — are hospitalized in stable condition, according to the Metropolitan Police."
