Terrible Scenes At Heaton Park Synagogue

[VillaDiodati]

Absolutely shocking attack at the Heaton Park Synagogue in Crumpsall North Manchester. My heart goes out to all those hurt and affected by this terrible atrocity.

Totally agree and those on the left would do well to understand this.
But they won’t .

I’m so glad my Jewish grandmother isn’t alive to witness what has happened- they say never forget but so many have. Only the Jews could have an atrocity happen to them on October 7th and then receive nothing but hate from October 8th onwards. Only the Jews can be told not to be scared about a march that is pro a group that wants them wiped off the earth- not just stepping aside on land but all
murdered. I’m so saddened and so heartbroken seeing how millions and millions demonise us and hate us.

It doesn't matter if they are Zionists, they still don't deserve to be murdered on their way to pray!

I agree. I suspect dementia or something similar because he was trying to be persuaded to get in a car and wandered the other way!

A stray bullet could have hit him, he could have comprimised the operation and his last look up at the camera filming him says it all. He really didnt seem to know what was happening and what danger he and others were in.

Whoopee for you. I am Jewish and what we really don't need right now is yet another horrendous and tragic event for the Jewish community being co-opted by anyone trying to spread division and antagonism under the guise of advocacy.

We should also condemn the genocide that the state of Osrael is currently committing.

Please can I remind you that the jury is still out on the question of whether Israel is committing genocide. Given that 4% of the Gazan population has been killed in the 2 years since 7/10, and the fact that Hamas hide themselves among civilians, wear no uniform, maximise civilian deaths through strategic siting of their operations, and masquerade as aid workers etc, it is quite possible that Israel will not be found guilty of this when we are finally able to examine the facts clearly, with access to military intelligence. To pretend otherwise is, to put it mildly, premature, and at worst perpetuates the Hamas propaganda that encourages horrific attacks such as today's.

Exaclty my point!

But why is whether they are Zionists or not seen as a relevant factor in whether they should be killed? You can be a Zionist and not be Jewish, or vice versa.

It's terrible. It feels like the so-called civilised world is lying in tatters at the moment.

I guessed you missed the march in Leeds where an NHS doctor called on people to take up armed resistance against British Jews or other marches in Leeds where people have been arrested and later been found guilty of antisemitism/hate speech?

Obviously. And that kind of behaviour/speech is awful and should be condemned/arrests made.

It leads to endless cycles of prejudice, alienation and violence so, yes, God forbid!

This attack is truly appalling.

Very off topic and please forgive the question, but my DS is due to travel to Manchester later today. Can anyone there tell me how transport is affected - are trains running into the main station as normal?

Give me strength.

Yes he should be fine. Crumpsall is quite a way out of the city itself.

@25milesfromhomeagree wholeheartedly.

This could be wayyyyyyyyy off point but although I profoundly disagree with what is going on in Gaza and think Netenyahu is a bastard of the highest order, I have Jewish friends, I've always taken a great interest in their history and am finding it hard to express how wonderful every Jewish person I know is, because there seems to be this perception at the minute that we have to hate Jews because of what Israel are doing.

All I did was support your comment in a differently worded manner so I don’t get your responses at all!

What? Why

Equally I think there are many people out there who want nothing more than for civilian deaths in Gaza to end, they just don’t support the ‘Palestine mob’ of the UK in their methods of intimidatory marches, antisemitic imagery and general support for Hamas/Sharia.

There has been so much hateful rhetoric pointed at Jewish people in the UK I'm shocked but not surprised.

No doubt these cretins are only emboldened by things like those creatures who called for the rape and murder of Jewish girls after October the 7th getting away with a slap on the wrist.

ODFOD

Are you fucking kidding

Your opinion is not a fact

That NHS doctor is a disgrace. How does she feel when faced with a Jewish patient? Not terribly inclined to go the extra mile, I’d guess.
