Mods, please keep this post up – it is clearly a terrorist attack, not a local crime! The king and queen have offered their condolences already and the prime minister has flown back to chair a COBR meeting. How is this a local crime?!

Two people have died after a knife and car attack at a synagogue in Manchester that led authorities across the UK to step up security measures at Jewish sites.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed the deaths on Thursday, adding that they shot the attacker and believed him to be dead.
GMP said that it could not yet confirm the assailant’s death due to “safety issues” relating to “suspicious items on his person”, saying that a bomb disposal unit was on the scene.
It said that three other members of the public remain in a serious condition.
Earlier the police had said that members of the public had suffered both “vehicle and stab wounds”.
The police said they had been called to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue at around 9.30am. The force said the assailant had driven a car at members of the public.
The police said they had arrived on the scene in time to prevent the attacker from entering the synagogue.
“Shots were fired by Greater Manchester Police firearms officers at 9.38am. One man has been shot, believed to be the offender,” GMP said.
GMP have declared “Plato”, which refers to emergency responses to large-scale incidents including possible terrorist attacks.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will return to London early from a summit in Copenhagen to chair the UK government’s Cobra emergency response group.
Starmer said he was “appalled” by Thursday’s incident, adding that the timing of the attack on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, “makes it all the more horrific”.
He added: “Additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country, and we will do everything to keep our Jewish community safe.”
GMP said “a large number of people” were inside at the synagogue worshipping at the time of the attack.
Footage of the scene shared on social media showed the attacker writhing on the ground within the gates of the synagogue when police shoot him. An officer shouted to a nearby crowd “he has a bomb” and “move back”.
A damaged black Kia car can be seen near the gates to the synagogue having been driven off the road.
Early on Thursday afternoon, a large police cordon was in place in Crumpsall, the Manchester suburb where the attack occurred, which is multicultural with a very large Jewish community.
Members of the Community Security Trust, the Jewish organisation that oversees security for the community in close co-ordination with the police, were stood alongside officers behind the cordon.
A police helicopter remained overhead and members of the public had gathered.
A Jewish woman who lives nearby told the FT that all the nearby synagogues were on “lockdown”, adding that the situation was “very worrying”.

Mods, stop deleting this again and again. You did the same when in Magdeburg a car drove over the Christmas market and in the end the post had to stay up because it was a major news “event”. It is not only “local crime” since many synagogues get threatened especially nowadays. To delete this again and again is just stupid

Imagine the MODS questioning it if it was Muslims and at a mosque – wouldn’t happen!!! Sooooo pathetic dude, get fucking real

Horrible. Any updates on who / the groups responsible for this?

Is that it? Is Palestine Free now? or do you need more dead jews to get if free in the future?

These kinds of attacks is how zionism gets strength and the idea that Israel is the only safe place for jews.
The idea that Israeli jews can just move to other places and be safe diminishes

It will unfortunately happen more and more. Antisemites are getting more bold due to societal acceptance.
You cant support hezbollah, hamas and houthis without jews being murdered.
Absolutely despicable

At my shul in London there’s a security guard constantly on the door and you have to contact them to make sure your name is on their list before you can attend services. It’s sad to see, and it means you can’t just drop in if you decide to spontaneously attend. But everyone understands why.

So how does the UK plan to reward the killings? If 1,000 lives are worth Palestinian recognition, what are 2 lives worth?
Royal-Hunter3892 on
It’s so strange and always makes me wonder Honestly I haven’t seen many arabs coming on streets in protest or riot in their countries for palestine or gaza as much as I have seen Europeans and Americans come on the streets in their countries for Palestine.
I wonder would arabs protest for donetsk, luhansk Kherson crimea donbass or god forbid entire Ukraine if Russia tries to takeover entire Ukraine. I feel nobody is even going to bother .

Just yesterday, Hamas was stopped from an attack in Germany, and now this?
I’m as against the genocide in Palestine as much as anyone else but that comes from a principle of valuing innocent life. Anyone who cheers for this violence is as awful as the people they pretend they’re in a position to condemn.

Do mods here support Hamas and muslim terrorist cells accross Europe? Traitors.

This is the exact reason why jews may just want a safe homeland, and will be rather uncompromising about it.
Also demonstrates how Europe is not credible in terms of keeping jews safe.

So this will get more attention that the killing of 100s if not 1000s of Palestinians is the coming days. How convenient……

Doesn’t surprise me mods are reportedly deleting this story, it’s always been easier and more convenient for people to pretend the Jews aren’t being targeted than to address it

Champagne must be flowing in the Israeli cabinet meetings right now.
Years of perpetuating a lie that most European Jews support the Gaza genocide and that antizionism equals antisemitism might have actually worked and produced a desired result.
A tragedy on many levels given that the victims were statically against the far right government that is going to use the political capital from their deaths to further the extermination of the Palestinians.
