In the wake of a terror attack that left two Jewish men stabbed in Golders Green, Britain finds itself weighing one of democracy's oldest tensions: the freedom to dissent against the duty to protect. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has signaled that some pro-Palestinian marches may need to be curtailed, citing not any single incident but the accumulated weight of repeated demonstrations on a community that says it no longer feels safe. The question now before the country is not simply one of law, but of what a society owes to those who feel endangered by the exercise of others' freedoms.
