"Barry Frankfurt expressed that Israel was once seen as a potential retirement destination, but now many feel they need to seek refuge there due to safety concerns in the UK. He stated, 'If the things that are part of day-to-day life become physically unsafe for you and your family to the point of risk of life, you'd be crazy not to consider alternatives.'"
"Frankfurt highlighted the alarming trend of families moving to Israel, saying, 'Every couple of weeks you'll hear of another couple or family in the community who have moved or will be moving soon to Israel.' He believes this should be a shocking realization for the country."
"He noted the recent violence, including stabbings and arson attacks, stating, 'At the point at which [there are] physical threats, threats to life... we've seen this week in Golders Green, it is an actual threat to life.'"
Many in the Jewish community in the UK are feeling unsafe, leading to conversations about relocating to Israel.
