An Antisemitic Horror in Manchester | Today on EuroCon

Friday 3 October Driving the day...  Yesterday morning, Jews in Manchester were gathering to mark Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, that peace was shattered when a car drove into the crowd. A man—later identified by police as Jihad Al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent—emerged from the vehicle and continued his attack, resulting in two Jewish men being killed, and three more people being seriously injured. Al-Shamie also attempted to smash his way through the windows of the synagogue, before he was shot dead by police.  That such a brutal, blatantly antisemitic attack could take place on British soil, in 2025, is shameful. But it is also, unfortunately, not much of a surprise. As Frank Haviland writes on europeanconservative.com today, Keir Starmer’s government has repeatedly chosen to appease radical Muslims over protecting Jews, time and again.  Since Hamas’s massacre on October 7th 2023, anti-Jewish acts have skyrocketed in the UK. Emboldened by the anti-Israel hatred we see on our streets practically every weekend, antisemites have taken pro-Palestine activism as an excuse to unleash their vile bigotry against British Jews. Demonstrators have been allowed to chant antisemitic slogans during protests, display hateful placards, and intimidate law-abiding Jews with little or no consequence.  How many more Jews have to die before the British state realises it has been enabling the very climate that endangers them?   By Lauren Smith
