The United Kingdom has gotten this bad. Truly sickening.

I don't know if anyone reported this on the forum yet. There been an attack on a synagogue in Manchester. 2 people killed by British national of Syrian origin.
The news is filled tonight with the anti-Semitic message and how Jewish people are living in fear. Can't help feeling this is going to be used as part of the crackdown on free speech here.
I really do think we're in big trouble. The country is a real mess and been played by the man behind the curtain.

Two Jewish men killed in Manchester synagogue attack named - live updates

Police believe the attacker is Jihad Al-Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent.

Summary

• Two men killed in an attack on a synagogue in Manchester have been named by police as Adrian Daulby, 53, and 66-year-old Melvin Cravitz
• Three others are in hospital with serious injuries after a man drove a car at members of the public before stabbing people. Police have declared it a terrorist incident - here's what we know so far
• Manchester police say they believe the attacker, who was shot dead at the scene, is 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent. Three other people have been arrested
• A neighbour of Al-Shamie tells the BBC: "To have somebody like that living on my estate, it's scary"
• The UK's Chief Rabbi says the attack is the "tragic result" of an "unrelenting wave of Jew hatred", while PM Keir Starmer tells the Jewish community he'll do everything in his power to give them "the security you deserve"
• The attack happened as worshippers gathered at the Heaton Park synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar

A few things that stand out:

• It took 7 minutes from the first 999 call to when the police shot dead the terrorist. This must be a record response time for armed British police.
• The man is named is Jihad Al-Shamie..
• Yesterday, the above BBC article had a quote from the Israeli foreign minister, where he said Starmer needs to crack down on anti-Semitism in the UK. It has since been removed, along with any mention of Israel.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the coming weeks we hear that this man was previously known to intelligence agencies, similar to the perpetrators of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing.

This happened the morning after the Flotilla heading for Gaza to provide aid was intercepted in the night. The protests for the seizure of aid seen across the UK were met with police force, and from what I can tell from X, many are reporting that the protestors were there to show support for the synagogue terrorist attacker.

The Labour Party banned our journalists from its annual conference so we stood outside asking ministers and MPs why the government won't call Gaza a genocide. Plus, we asked MPs why they support the Labour Friends of Israel lobby group.

The Greater Manchester Police just posted this update on X. Apparently the armed officers also accidentally shot two of the people in attendance at the synagogue, presumably while aiming for the attacker.
