On Thursday it was Yom Kippur; the most important day in the Jewish calendar.
So, 35 year old Syrian immigrant Jihad Al-Shamie (above), who just happened to be on bail for RAPE at the time, decided that he would kill some Jews. He drove his car into a group of people outside the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester, then stabbed two others. Two of those he stabbed died, whilst three others are in 'a serious condition'. It seems that one of the victims was also accidently shot by the police when they killed Al-Shamie.
As with the terror attack of October 7th, such people demonstrate clearly that they are incapable of living in harmony with the people who, historically, have ALWAYS helped them.
Starmer, as we saw on TV, returned at once to England to attend a COBRA meeting. What he thought he could achieve after such an event I don't know. Stemming the tide of antisemitism amongst the Muslim and left-wing population is almost impossible.
Yes, of course the troubles in Gaza are shocking, but we should never forget that they were initiated by exactly the same type of barbaric behaviour as we saw on Thursday; only on a much grander scale. Such horrors will always attract warranted reprisals from the Israeli forces; but not, I'm sure, from the Jewish population in Manchester.
Sometimes I feel as if I'm living in another wartime Germany; but this time the enemy are the British people themselves, and the aggressors are those to whom we have given refuge. Just recently we saw a policeman tearing a 'Union Jack' flag from the hands of an English teenage girl, whilst Hamas supporting flags were flying all around. What sort of message does that give?
Antisemitism in the UK has become extremely worrying. I hear that after the Synagogue killings, the Muslim community were out on the streets of Manchester flag-waving and cheering.
Manchester has a population of around 550,000, of which 30,000 are Jewish, and 120,000 are Muslim. Just over 50% are classified as 'white'.
Two men and a woman have also been arrested in relation to Thursday's attack. Al-Shabie himself was shot dead by Police. He will no doubt be seen as a 'Martyr'.
We are living through extremely distressing times!
