Jim Chimirie ๐ฌ๐ง๐ on X - "Four people were wounded in Manchester today - one stabbed, three mown down by a car - outside a synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish year. The attacker was shot dead by police. The attack is the result of years in which antisemitic rhetoric has been allowed to fester and grow unchecked - on our streets, in our schools, on our campuses, across social media, and from within politics itself. It is fed every weekend by pro-Palestinian marches that exude raw Jew-hate: chants of "From the river to the sea," cries of "Khaybar, Khaybar," placards likening Israel to Nazi Germany, and the relentless drumbeat that frames the Jewish state as a genocidal pariah. Words like these do not evaporate harmlessly. They embolden. They license hatred. They teach that Jews are fair game. The danger today was so clear that police launched Operation Plato - Britain's emergency response to marauding terror attacks. That protocol isn't triggered lightly; it exists for the nightmare scenario of roaming killers on the hunt. Police feared Jews gathering to pray might be prey. That alone should shake this country to its core. Yet while the immediate threat was contained, the climate that produced it was built over years by cowardice and indulgence. Instead of drawing a line between legitimate criticism of Israeli policy and the demonisation of an entire people, our political class blurred it beyond recognition. The casual use of the word genocide - repeated by left-wing MPs, echoed by ministers, amplified by media desperate for moral theatre - has consequences. If you tell the public over and over that Israel is exterminating people, do not feign surprise when men with knives and cars see Jews themselves as fitting enemies. Adding fuel is the long courtship between the Left and Islam. This isn't conspiracy; it's political fact. Since the late 1990s, when the term "Islamophobia" was engineered and pushed into policy, a shield has silenced scrutiny of Islamist ideology by branding it bigotry. Under that cover came decades of looking away - from misogyny, grooming gangs, radical preaching, and now the antisemitic undercurrents spilling out of pro-Hamas networks. Universities have become test beds for this alliance: campuses where Jewish students are isolated, abused, told to answer for Israel's existence, and abandoned by staff and unions who parrot slogans reducing a living people to a colonial sin. All the while, British institutions have shrunk from the fight. Police look for "balance" when there is none to find. Party leaders issue tepid condemnations sandwiched between affirmations of protest. Social media companies act with speed against unfashionable speech but leave posts glorifying violence against Jews to fester. The result is a culture where hate thrives, intimidation is normalised, and knives find their mark outside a synagogue. If this continues unchecked, Jewish life in Britain will wither. Parents will hesitate before sending children to Jewish schools. Synagogues will harden behind concrete and steel. Ordinary families will live with fear as a constant companion. And Britain itself will be diminished - because a country that cannot protect its Jews is a country that has lost its moral spine. It's time to break with cowardice. The government must draw a clear line: protests with antisemitic chants or terror glorification are not "free speech" but incitement and must be shut down. Universities tolerating Jew-baiting should lose funding until they enforce their codes. Social media must act on the high-visibility hate they let spread. And leaders who cried "genocide" must own the permission they gave to hate. Britain stands at a crossroads: today's blood in Manchester echoes the hate we've excused - name the antisemitism, confront it, or watch the darkness spread. "The government must draw a clear line: protests with antisemitic chants or terror glorification are not "free speech" but incitement and must be shut down.""
Eyal Yakoby on X - "Shabana Mahmood has become the UK Home Secretary. She is in charge of immigration, visas, and borders, Here she is at a rally calling for a “globalize the intifada.” Today, an Islamist murdered Jews praying at their synagogue in Manchester."
Lee Harris on X - "Shabana Mahmood said she doesn't have the power to ban these vile, antisemitic, Hamas supporting hate marches. This is a LIE. It's been used to ban right-wing protests. The *REAL* reason she wont ban it is because she agrees with the hate marches. She is not fit for office."
Robert Spencer on X - "A friend just asked me, in light of the Manchester jihad attack and the subsequent claim that the jihadi was mentally ill, when Western leaders will wake up. I replied that they are already awake. They are on the jihadis' side. They know it's jihad. They want it. They want the chaos in their countries. This will enable them to impose authoritarian rule. They also want to destroy the national character of their own countries, in pursuit of socialist internationalism. They think that the influx of Muslims helps them accomplish both goals."

Synagogue attacker’s father praises Manchester as ‘city of multicultural peace’ - "Faraj al-Shamie, a surgeon from Syria who praised the October 7 Hamas terrorists, said his son’s actions had brought “deep pain” to both his family and those of the victims. Jihad al-Shamie, 35, his eldest son, was shot dead by armed police last week after he rammed his car into Jewish worshippers entering Heaton Park synagogue and stabbed several congregants outside. The attack occurred on Yom Kippur, Judaism’s holiest day, and was said to have been fuelled by Islamist ideology, with the terrorist declaring his allegiance to Islamic State during a phone call to police after the attack. Mr al-Shamie refused to comment on the terror attack or his son when contacted by The Telegraph,but said in a statement on his Facebook account that Manchester “remains a shining example of unity and coexistence”... In his statement on Facebook, Mr al-Shamie wrote: “Manchester has always been – and remains – a shining example of unity and coexistence, where Muslims, Christians, Jews, and people of all faiths live side by side in respect and harmony. “Having lived here for years, I can say with pride that this city embodies the true spirit of multicultural peace and solidarity.”... Mr al-Shamie had praised Hamas terrorists... The post was uncovered hours after Mr al-Shamie had issued a statement from his Facebook account, expressing his “profound shock” at his son’s “heinous act” which he and his family “strongly condemned”."
Manchester terrorist Jihad al-Shamie’s father praised Oct 7 Hamas militants - "The father of the Manchester synagogue attacker praised the Oct 7 Hamas terrorists as “Allah’s men on earth”... Mr Shamie, a trauma surgeon who lived in council housing in Britain, said in his post on the day of the attack that the Hamas terrorists who had infiltrated the Jewish state on motorbikes and paragliders had “proved beyond a shadow of a doubt” that Israel would be destroyed eventually... a translation of posts on Facebook shows him supporting the Hamas assault on Israel. Three days later on Oct 10, he appeared to question why Hamas was not receiving support from other Arab nations. He wrote: “Where is this so-called resistance with the Haifa rockets... May God’s curse be upon the hypocrites, the traitors pledged to a disgusting and filthy sectarian agenda – the moment of truth is inevitably coming. “You told me [about the] Haifa rockets... Our brothers in Palestine are publicly asking for help from anyone who still has a part of honour or humanity, but with God’s permission they will be victorious oh you who sold your religion, your honour and your humanity to the mullahs of Tehran, and whoever sells his honour, there is no hope from him... As for the Arab governments, leave them to wander blindly in their tyranny. Long live the brave men of Gaza #Palestine_is_Arab.” A day later, on Oct 11 2023, he again praised the Hamas invasion and called for the “resounding fall of a great traitor”. The two victims of the synagogue attack were named on Friday as Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, from Crumpsall. Greater Manchester Police said in a statement on Friday morning that one of the victims appeared to have been shot by armed officers. It has now emerged that the attacker grew up less than a mile from the synagogue he attacked... There is virtually no trace of any social media activity for Jihad, but in 2012, a person using the email address “Jihad Alshamie” sent death threats to a Conservative MP following comments he made defending Israel. John Howell, who was the Tory MP for Henley at the time, was offered police protection after he received around 30 emails. One person, calling himself Jihad Alshamie, wrote a series of emails, including one which said, “It is people like you who deserve to die.”"
Manchester synagogue terrorist Jihad Al-Shamie's surgeon father breaks his silence on his son's murderous rampage - as he is seen for the first time since the atrocity - "despite the huge public interest in Jihad Al-Shamie's motivation behind the attack, his father Faraj, has refused to discuss his son's violent anti-Jewish ideology. When approached in the garden of his modest bungalow in a village in the Picardie region, he refused to answer questions about his role in his son's upbringing, including why he named his first-born 'Jihad' – Arabic for holy war. And he would not explain why he had two years ago praised the October 7th Hamas terrorists as 'Allah's men on earth'. He replied simply: 'I don't have anything to say.'... 'The scenes broadcast by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades showing a group of fighters storming an occupation army camp with simple means, balloons and motorbikes, prove beyond doubt that Israel is not here to stay. 'Men like these prove that they are Allah's men on earth, regardless of who leads them, they are the true compass for men confident in their victory, even if their resources are few.'... Jihad Al-Shamie had attended an Islamic teachings conference at the Masjid Sunnah mosque in Nelson, Greater Manchester, in 2022. In a statement the mosque condemned Al-Shamie and his actions adding terrorism was in direct contradictions to the teachings of Islam."
Voice From The East on X - "๐จ @BBC caught changing the translation of a statement about the terrorist who murdered Jews at the Synagogue in Manchester to “He was resisting Israeli forces” instead of “doing Jihad against the Jews” They deliberately feeding you false information in favour of Terrorists!"
The Manchester synagogue attacker has been named. Jihad Al-Shamie was a British citizen of Syrian descent : r/BreakingUKNews - "His name's actually Jihad. Jihad. You can't make this stuff up."
"They just lie and say it refers to the internal struggle to live a holy and pious life."
"Same with the intifada people They play the same game I’m sure Nazis did in the 40s “Mein kampf just means my struggle in German""
"The holocaust museum literally used “Warsaw Intifada” as their Arabic translation for the Warsaw ghetto uprising."
"And what is that supposed to prove? The Warsaw Uprising wasn’t some hippie march or nonviolent protest, which is normally what people try to portray the intifadas as."
"You think the Jews in Warsaw weren’t justified in their violence?"
"They absolutely were justified. Because they targeted German soldiers not civilians. Pro-Palestinian supporters openly state that any Jew is a justified target. Bunch of geriatrics in a nursing home? Worthy of a massacre for the Palestinian cause. Infants in a creche? Worthy of slaughtering mercilessly lest they become future "IOF" as they call them. I've seen it all from the pro-Pallies. They consist of the most evil people that makes it impossible to see them as the good guys."
The Manchester synagogue attacker has been named. Jihad Al-Shamie was a British citizen of Syrian descent : r/BreakingUKNews - "My sister overheard a group of students at her University in Manchester say "Jews should just not wear their religious stuff, that way they won't be attacked". We're fucking screwed."
"Ask them if rape victims are to blame due to the way they dressed, see what they say..."
"Or agree and say if muslims didn't wear hijab or other religious stuff there wouldn't be any islamophobia either."
At least 40 arrested after pro-Palestine marches break out in London in wake of Manchester terror attack : r/europe_sub - "Almost every time, in every country in Europe, these ‘Pro-Palestine’ demonstrations end up like this. When will measures be taken to punish them? In Switzerland, they invaded railway tracks in stations and paralysed traffic. As well as being very dangerous, it is completely counterproductive and will only turn people off their cause."
Just as with the original October 7th attack, the reaction of terrorism supporters after a terror attack is to celebrate it. Telling.
At least 40 arrested after pro-Palestine marches break out in London in wake of Manchester terror attack : r/europe_sub - "Ridiculous, 40 people arrested for disagreeing with the murder of innocent children. Shameful country"
"That's not what they were actually arrested for, was it?"
Terrorism supporters always have atrocious comprehension skills
Manchester synagogue terrorist was on bail for alleged rape at the time of his rampage and was 'struggling with debt' after 'splitting up with his wife and young son' - "It is also thought that the killer had additional criminal convictions, although he was not being monitored by British counter-terrorism officers... 'At the time, I probably didn't know what the word jihad meant. But looking back, you do wonder why his parents would have given him that name.'"
Bushra Shaikh on X - "Horrified to learn of the attack outside a Synogogue in Manchester, where 4 have been injured. My thoughts are with those affected by this criminal act. We are yet to learn of the motivations behind the crime. But I blame Netanyahu and his live streamed genocide."
Can we blame "Islamophobia" on Islamist terrorism, grooming gangs and other crimes committed by Muslims?
Bushra Shaikh on X - "IDGAF. The Manchester attack is on Netanyahu. He has Jewish blood on his hands."
Peter Baum on X - "Oh so if people kill Muslims in the U.K. we can blame that on Assad of Syria ….."
Drew Pavlou ๐ฆ๐บ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ๐น๐ผ on X - "She thinks Muslims should be treated like toddlers with no agency. If a Muslim extremist loses his shit and decides to stab a bunch of old Jewish people at a synagogue in Britain, it's not his fault - it's actually the fault of the Jews for making him do it. Deport this absoute freak."
Visegrรกd 24 on X - "The BBC says the Jewish community in the UK is under threat from 2 camps: the far-right and from “people who have a political mindset linked to what’s going on in the Middle East” Seems it’s very easy for the BBC to say “far-right” but difficult to say “far-left” & “Islamists"
Keir Starmer on X - "This was a vile terrorist attack that attacked Jews, because they are Jews. Antisemitism is a hatred that is rising, once again. Britain must defeat it, once again. To every Jewish person in this country: I promise that I will do everything in my power to guarantee you the security you deserve."
Ben Leo on X - "Not one mention of Islamism or radical Islam but always happy to bang on about the ‘far right’ when he can"
Muslims can ‘politically decapitate’ Keir Starmer, says Green official : r/uknews - "Really silly language for a politician to use in any context. It’s just irresponsible and unprofessional - all politicians have a responsibility to turn down the temperate of their rhetoric and behave with a degree of civility. If a right-wing politician used the word ‘decapitate’ in any context when discussing a centrist or progressive opponent, the left would be the first to complain (and they would be right to do so!). But I’m sure there will be plenty of handwringing, or acting like this sort of language is acceptable, when the boot is on the other foot."
"Less than a week after an actual terrorist attack as well"

Israel Advocacy Movement on X - "I am a British Jew… I left the UK last year out of fear for my family's safety. Today, my worst fears were confirmed. But the writing was on the wall. When Muslim thugs drove through our neighbourhoods screaming they were going to rape our daughters… no one was jailed. When a Muslim thug tried to stab Jews at our kosher supermarket… he wasn't jailed. When British streets were flooded by mobs screaming globalise the intifada… the home secretary joined them. Meanwhile Jews were told to leave because our presence was "provocative". The British government and police have Jewish blood on their hands. To my friends and family… leave while you still can."
Mothin Ali on X - "My thoughts and prayers are with all those injured in today’s attack at a synagogue on Yom Kippur, and with the wider Jewish community who will be feeling deeply shaken. No one should feel unsafe in their place of worship. At moments like this, it’s important that we do not rush to conclusions or allow fear and division to take hold. Violence only fuels more violence — and we must all work to calm tensions, stand together, and reaffirm our shared commitment to peace and solidarity."
Camilla Tominey on X - "Is this a joke? You branded Leeds Rabbi Zecharia Deutsch a "creep", a "lowlife" and an "animal" after the Oct 7 attacks in a now deleted video. He was later forced into hiding with his family. You used an image of yourself and Bob "Death, death to the IDF" Vylan as your FB profile picture (after Glastonbury). Your response to the Hamas terror attack, which killed some 1,200 people, was: "White supremacist european settler colonialism must end!". We see you."
Chris Rose on X - "If Muslims were injured and killed in a targeted terrorist attack, Sadiq Khan would not allow an emergency protest for largely white people with Union and St George’s flags hours later. Since Jews were the victim, he couldn’t care less."
Michelle Dewberry on X - "If this terrorist was a right-winger, we would currently be bombarded with wall-to wall political condemnation. “THE FAR RIGHT” would be blasted non stop & promises to stamp them out would be on repeat. Because it’s a Muslim; there’s apparently ‘nothing to see here’ & ‘diversity is our strength’ etc. Whilst most Muslims (including my best mate) are good, decent people-It is undeniable there is a growing cohort of Muslims who have an extremist interpretation of Islamic doctrine & they pose a serious threat to us all. Their belief system is simply not compatible with the western way of life. Unless and until we start with that basic truth, nothing will get better. In fact I fear things will get much, much worse… Sadly it’s clear again today that there are scores of people who will simply refuse to acknowledge this truth (for a variety of reasons) and it genuinely makes me worry for the future of this county๐"
David Frost on X - "I can't tell you the level of disgust and shame I feel about the events of the last 36 hours. ๐
Two years of hate parades, given cover by many in Labour, legitimised by last week's recognition of "Palestine", all culminating in yesterday's appalling, but by now sadly foreseeable, antisemitic attack.
The usual state and much media obfuscation about the killer's origins and motives. This evening we discover he was also on bail for sexual assault. What else might we yet learn?
Last night's shameful and intimidating pro-Palestine demonstrations.
Today, a seemingly powerless Home Secretary and Met, unsupported by the London Mayor, pleading with a bunch of leftist agitators not to do the same tomorrow & next weekend.
A government so out of touch with feeling in the Jewish community that it could send the Deputy PM to say "don't let hate divide us" and expect that to be good enough. David Lammy deserved all the heckling he got this afternoon.
I never imagined that anti-semitism would ever return to Britain, still less in this virulent, dangerous form. The weakness, appeasement, bad faith, and sheer incompetence of the British state have been on show these last two days as almost never before. We are right to be angry. Yet who is really surprised? And who is going to turn the tide?"
Time to turn the tide by arresting the "far right" to keep Jews safe
Since we all know that the "Zionists" are to blame for inciting violence against Jews, the solution to protect Jews is to crack down on the "Zionists"
Suella Braverman MP on X - "The hate marches need to to stop. The Prime Minister, Home Secretary and Police Chiefs need to take action. Not spout meaningless platitudes. We’ve been reading the tweets and have listened to words of ‘solidarity’ for two years. Yet things are getting worse. Since October 7th, the UK establishment has chosen to ignore unprecedented antisemitism on our streets, extremism in our institutions and two-tier policing. As Home Secretary, I warned as much but was dismissed for speaking out. Now: tragedy, heart-break, anger and fear. We cannot continue like this."
Clearly two tier policing is a myth and the former Home Secretary is clueless
S Sebag Montefiore on X - "A few thoughts the morning after the fast. I awake like many Jews all over the world with a strangely sorry feeling. Why is this Day of Atonement not like others? Then I remember. This, Yom Kippur, is not one that the Jews of Britain will ever forget. As we were fasting on the most solemn day in the Jewish year, the terrible news arrived. I remember as a child the start of the Yom Kippur War when Egypt and Syria attacked Israel on this day 1973 – but that was a battle of states and armies. This was the coldblooded murder of ordinary British people, Melvin Cravitz and the brave security guard Adrian Daulby who gave his life to save many others and this could have been my synagogue. I want to pay tribute to the courageous security guard, the brave rabbi and to the Manchester chief constable and his armed police who acted so fast. I hope the Met would have been as quick ( I saw no police anywhere near my synagogue before the attack.) I just wanted to thank the many friends who have written to me and other Jews last night and today. Your messages are so appreciated in this unsettling time. It is also entirely fitting that my Muslim friends, here and across the world, have been the kindest, my UK media acquaintances the most silent. You might have noticed how angry Jewish people are. Usually mostly quiet. But what happened in Manchester was much predicted and entirely predictable and probably preventable. We warned it would end this way but we were ignored or shamed or gaslit. It could have been worse too. Our great security services have foiled many such plots. But let us hope this atrocity is a moment to reset our ways… This was the inevitable result of two wild years of anti-Jewish racism and radicalism, dehumanizing antiJewish slogans and images, blood libels, calls for killing, support for terror, ‘globalizing intifada’ and ‘decolonize Israel now’, unleashed on the streets and media, barely policed either by actual policeman who have stood by nor by politicians who have swung between crowdpleasing Manichaean hyperbole and sensible, balanced reassurance; nor by the TV media anchors who have disgraced the noble vocation of journalism by rabid hostility, irresponsible exaggerations and actual mistakes that are never corrected; nor by the NHS doctors openly keening to kill Jews who are still working in hospitals despite the comments of Wes Streeting; and I don’t even need to mention the keyboard missionaries whose propagation of factual lies and vicious amplifications now include telling the suffering Gazans not to accept a peace deal that is on the table and will - we pray - bring peace and save many lives. Today it is not a pretty sight seeing those same politicians, same anchors on Sky / BBC, same twitter missionaries pumping out self serving messages of sympathy, adopting their well-practised multicultural-community-in-danger faces - days after propagating easily-disprovable disinformation and wild Manichaean hyperbole. Of course they are not guilty of killing those people in Manchester; only the murderer and his accomplices are actually guilty. But that is the point: the inciters congratulate themselves on being good people but take and show no responsibility for promoting bloodcurlding Manichaean credo of good and evil imposed on a faraway real war in which there is guilt and innocence on both sides. Here they have helped incite a whirlpool of hatred and they have contributed to an atmosphere that has of course proved lethal. It is other ordinary people whether here or there who play the price for their exciting transcendent parades of costfree, easy piety. If one of them had said one thing that recognized that maybe their misuse of a thesaurus of emotive, hyperbolic Manicheanism had contributed to this vortex, I would respect them. But it is one of the distasteful characteristics of our time: many are rigidly convinced of their ironclad virtue, indeed sated and swollen with sanctimony – as they rush out their pro forma denunciations of antisemitism: the very definition of hypocrisy. That is why on X you might notice Jewish people saying ‘not now, thanks’ to the worst humbugs. The protests started immediately and revealingly on October 7 and the line between acceptable criticism of the Israeli government and Israeli war (and yes there is much to criticise) immediately morphed into bloodcurdling calls for terror and a frenzy of anti-Jewish racism. The government, mayors and police were overwhelmed by a Manichean delirium or terrified of the aggression of these activists (or their electoral power in vulnerable constituencies) before sometimes making reassuring sensible comments. The result has been to say the least mixed messages. Yesterday the intifada was indeed globalized and Britishized and Mancunianised. Words and bulletins have effects on real people in the street next door and far away too. They bleed, they die. Last night, demonstrators celebrated the killing of British people in bloodthirsty fiestas in London and Manchester. It was heartening to see the PM, Foreign Secretary and Chancellor in synagogue last night: thank you. To her credit Home Secretary Mahmood called these ghoulish celebrations “fundamentally unBritish” and recognized the problem ordering the celebrating demonstrators: “show some humanity”. Thank you Home Secretary. Such comments are two years overdue and it has taken murders to get British politicians to save those two phrases. The pro-Palestine demonstrations always contained decent people making just points but their tone was brazenly set by racists bigots and terrorist sympathizers who were indeed fundamentally unBritish in their calls for violence. The Home Secretary also said “I take my lead from the police” but that is the entire problem. You give the orders to the police. Thanks to confused guidance that has created a hierarchy of grievances, the fuddled police especially the Met have lost the ability to make moral decisions on law and order, terror and protest. Hence pro Palestinian demonstrators are permitted extra space to promote killing and antiJudaism that would never be permitted to any other cause and Jews exposed as no other ethnic minority would be. Time to redress that balance. The government now needs to give explicit orders to the police to enforce laws against terror and hate in the streets that they have ceded to vicious activists. If that means police enforcing control of the streets,– as Italian and Germany police do every day. Everyone has the right to criticise Israeli government and its many faults as I do myself - just as they have the right to criticise Hamas and terrorism but these murders are the sign for responsible people, politicians and media to “dial down the rhetoric” as Conservative leader Badenoch said last night, that created “a climate of fear and aggression” for British Jews. “Get a grip,” demands Chief Rabbi. Britain is a ship tossed helplessly on a storm partly of its own making, its own captain and crew (i dont just mean politicians but police and media too) often unsure and confused, its course, its British values is being tested. Now we have a chance: steady the ship before more lives are lost."
A terrorist attack on Yom Kipp…–The News Agents – Apple Podcasts - "A terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester has left two people dead and several others fighting for their lives on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. The prime minister has cut short his trip to Denmark to chair Cobra - as police investigate whether the perpetrator was known to security. Manchester is sadly once again coming together to reject hatred in the aftermath of appalling violence. Andy Hughes, presenter of The Crime Agents podcast, talks through the police response and the changing nature of terrorism in the UK. Later, David Yelland, former editor of The Sun, speaks to Jon and Emily about why some instinctively leap to sowing divisiveness in the aftermath of these events and how to confront it. We discuss the political - and personal significance - of a terror attack on Yom Kippur."
Tony Kent on X - "This podcast is a fucking disgrace. An Islamic extremist attacks a synagogue on Yom Kipper, targeting and killing Jews. And somehow this is increasing danger from the far right!?! Sorry but we’re no longer falling for or being cowed by your propaganda. Your credibility is shot."
Konstantin Kisin on X - "A man called Jihad has gone on murder spree on a synagogue and two "respected", "neutral" and "balanced" recent BBC stalwarts would like you to believe the problem is... right wing journalists. You really, really, really don't hate the media enough."
