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.

And grievances against the British government (hello Kneecap)

If you state things as fact when they’re not established facts, then it just means no one can take you seriously.

@LunaDeBallona Do you actually understand what genocide is??
Clearly not.

I don't really care if anyone takes me seriously or not.

Just aswell I heard it from someone who was there while talking about today's events then

Ah, a high quality source then.

You don’t.
Here read this. https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition

They walk amongst us, those that celebrated October 7th and still do. Sadly, there will be people in support of this vile attack today. There is much open antisemitism, its bloody fashionable online. It sickens me.

Time for MN to pull this thread.

Innocent British citizens were murdered in cold blood today. People who were visiting their place of worship and welcoming the Jewish New Year.

It's so sad that Palestine supporters would want use this space for their political agenda.

Not sure why I quotes you @IsEveryUserNameBloodyTaken

More likely part of managing the situation whilst emergency services prepare.

Risk assessment, based on past experience, will inform them that once the news is released (dependent on who the attacker is) communities will be in danger.

Think, of the riots associated with Southport ( and this wasn't a terror attack).

I'm repeating what I heard from a first hand source during a conversation. It's your choice to believe it or not. I know which you'll choose and that's ok

Clearly not true, videos would be all over X if that was true.

You don't.
But it's likely that you will consider the UN anti-semitic.

Primary source rather

Do you think people would have their phones out ready to film it?

Let's face it. There's a type of people that were on the streets on October 7th celebrating it and whether you want to believe it or not they were doing it again today

It's the same sort of people who put laughing emojis on every public post on Facebook about injured or dead IDF soldiers or terrorist attacks against Jews around the world

I'm lighting a candle for the Jewish community tonight.

This is disgraceful. Almost 39 000 islamists on a watch list here. Good grief it needs addressing in parliament. Pussy footing around these extremists who walk and live amongst us.

@Busybeemumm Cant you think for yourself?
You just look silly. ‘Palestine’ isn’t even a nation so falls flat at the first requirement. Muslims are not being murdered in such numbers that they are in danger of being eradicated- unlike Jews who STILL haven’t got back up to their pre 1939 numbers. Thats what genocide looks like.
Whats going on in the Middle East is the only democratic state there (Israel) is fighting a bunch of terrorists who want to kill every Jewish man, woman and child. Not a genocide. It’s war. Are you equally as vocal about the war in Sudan??
Why don’t you just say ‘I’m an anti semite’? It would be so much easier.

Why did you need to say?

I think the thread should stand, so everyone can see Pro-Palestinians for exactly what they are. How they want to drag everything back to Gaza and whitewash their hate marches that have lead to today's tragedy

Ive yet to see anyone speaking about Gaza saying a damn thing about the Rohingya or Uighurs.

no Jews no news

That's lovely. I was listening to LBC earlier and one of the callers said she was Jewish and that she felt really alone

To any Jewish Mumsnetter reading this, there are plenty of us thinking of you and your community aswell today

To express my sympathy and show solidarity. Why did you need to ask?

Presumably for a sense of solidarity
