Transport secretary Heidi Alexander has told Sky News that "an attack on the British Jewish community is an attack on us all, it's an attack on Britain," in the wake of the Golders Green stabbings.
But Trevor Phillips challenged her comments, saying that while he understands the solidarity ministers are trying to show by saying the attack is against all of us, that in fact "this is Jews being hunted by people to harm them, not the rest of us. It's Jews who are being attacked".
Alexander replied by saying the government is "absolutely determined to leave no stone unturned in taking the action that we have to root this evil out of our society".
