Delay Protests After Local Terror Attacks

- Organisers should weigh the wider public safety impact when scheduling large demonstrations.
Rising Anti‑Semitism And Heightened Community Fear
- Anti-Semitism reports have surged since October 7 and recent terror events have amplified fear in Jewish communities.
