Manchester synagogue attack

I feel great sympathy for the Jewish population in this country. The immigration policy of recent governments has put them at risk.

Immigration Policy ?

There are a few old religious Texts, for sale in every town, that are totally riddled with violent AntiSemitism. And never get censored nor banned.

Connolly got jailed for writing stuff less incendiary than the above.

It begs a question : is a call to 'chop off a head' different if it was a) written an hour ago or b) written a thousand years ago ?

Trump is right to put some accountability to violent 'opinion leaders' ?

Any terrorist attack like this is outrageous and deserves the condemnation of every decent person. Which it seems to be getting.

Terrorism is unfortunately not new and whilst intelligence thwarts many attempts it’s impossible to stop them all.

Whilst we haven’t yet heard, if we ever will, what the motive was it’s a reasonable assumption that it was probably connected to the situation in Gaza.

If I was a member of the British Jewish community I would feel very uncomfortable at the moment, despite having no connection to, let alone any responsibility for, that which the current Government of Israel are doing. Targeting British citizens just because they share a religious belief with others in another country is simply appalling.

I despise anti semitism. I also despise the behaviour of the current Israeli government. A government which is doing nothing to diminish anti semitism or make overseas Jewish communities safer.

These are very dangerous times for Jewish people in Britain. They make up 0.5% of the population but are the victims of 40% of hate crimes. Blame the Israeli government as much as you like but anti-Semitism is on the rise here and doesn't get anywhere near the coverage of other cases.
 
You see how the despicable Wisbech Eagle wants to shift blame for the killings from the Islamic terrorist to the Israeli govt for encouraging anti semitism by their actions.

Disgraceful post from a disgraceful poster.

The current Israeli govt was formed in 2022 so I guess there was no serious anti semitism before that.

No semantic excuses

The Islamic terrorist killer was not a British man, he was a Syrian man who happened to have been given a British passport.

There are British people who act in a British way with shared values and there are islamic terrorists like this POS who happen to have a British issued travel document.

If there are neo-nazis in the UK they are waving Palestine flags
 
I wonder when a random girl will pop up and start singing 'Don't look back in anger'? Or is this the wrong kind of terrorist attack for that?

oh cmon. Its not the same at all. That 1930s lot were led by a fella who was....

- Alcohol teetotal
- vegetarian

- deeply offended by certain types of Art

- violently homophobic and Anti-Semitic
- in a dodgy relationship with his own Niece

- reckoned the Woman's place is pregnant, barefoot and chained to the stove

....so not really the same, is it ?

The Synagogue attack ? We seem to getting these all over the World now.

Same as ours then
 
The attacker's first name was jihad!!

If that isn't a red flag i don't know what is!!

Sympathies to the families of the victims.
Minor point. Jihad is a misused word.

Jihad in Islam refers to a personal struggle to be a good Muslim, no different to other religions who recognise that there is a gap between the sacred texts and people's every day lives.

Of course that struggle has now been co-opted to mean violence against non believers.

So calling your kid Jihad is no more sinister than calling your kid Faith.

RIP and sympathies to the families.

So when a hate preacher calls for a violent muslim jihad against non muslims he is simply calling for people to be good muslims, I get it now

As I said the word has been misused it means an internal conflict. No different than Christians who struggle on a daily basis to adhere to their faith whilst dealing with the realities of the world we live in.

Unfortunately radical Islam now use it as an external struggle.
 
I don't know for sure but it looked like there were pro-Palestine protests outside the synagogue and perhaps outside other synagogues. There seemed to be a guy squaring away a Palestine flag. Maybe more will come out but I wouldn't be too sure.
I'm suspecting there are protests and harassment outside all the synagogues in Britain.
If anybody were to protest outside mosques then that's far right. But again, outside synagogues is the correct type of protest for this government and society apparently.
How religion is to blame for one thing but a religion is not to blame for the other is an exercise in mental arithmetic that doesn't add up.
I know for sure which religion is able to adapt to similar values to mine and European ones and which one is not at all. And really that's all we need to know. We know - but we can't see it apparently. Increasingly, we're not allowed to state it.
