"The fact that the Jewish synagogue in Cyncoed is, is become one of these, you know, fortress is really uncomfortable.

The Welsh AM has since apologized for her comments that haven't been received well by her fellow MPs.
Welsh Labour MP Chris Elmore called Ms. Rathbone's remarks "disgusting."
"As Jeremy [Corbyn] has made clear, there is a no place for antisemitism in the Labour Party. No one in Welsh Labour can stand by and accept these sort of views especially from an elected AM. I hope action is taken," the politician said.
The Conservative Party operating in Wales suggested the Jewish community was under threat in Britain in the light of unhealthy environment purported by Jeremy Corbyn's party.
