May they have a refuah sheleyma.
Since it was a hit and run, and nobody knows who did it, how do we know it was motivated by anti-Semitism? Hit and runs can happen to anyone.
There has been 2 or 3 murders in London since xmas and they caught the criminals, why they put in effort. This is a serious offense and if it means bring more officers that are on vacation then do it and catch the culprits
Pls keep us postdated on couples condition.
BM, who told you takeh that it was motivated by antisemitism? There was no hint of such a thing in the article, so what are you talking about?
