J.K. Rowling, who penned the Harry Potter book series, responded on social media to someone who posed the question of how most Brits feel when they learn that Jews don’t feel safe in the United Kingdom.

“I don’t know what most Brits feel, but I’m appalled and ashamed,” the best-selling author stated.

Five days after Oct. 7, Rowling stated that “we said ‘never again.’ The UK was a safe haven. Now, after the biggest massacre of Jews since the holocaust, British Jewish children are being advised to hide their identities as they walk to school, for their own safety.”

“There should be mass outrage that this is necessary,” she said at the time.
