Fatal attack on synagogue in Manchester, England
It’s Yom Kippur, which is probably the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, and so a tempting target for any Jew-hater. And Jew-haters are legion, including murderous Jew-haters. Therefore we get this:
A car was driven into a crowd and a man stabbed at 9.31am on Yom Kippur – the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
Laurence Taylor, the head of counter-terrorism policing, said … police had made two further arrests and knew the attacker’s identity, but would not release the information at this stage.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said four other victims are in a serious condition after the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall.
The force has now confirmed the suspect is also dead, after previously being unable to approach his body due to ‘suspicious items on his person’.
A picture of the alleged attacker showed a man with a beard and dark clothing standing outside the synagogue with unidentified objects strapped to his waist.
He can also be seen holding something in his hand. …
Earlier, hero rabbi Daniel Walker barricaded worshippers inside the building after the suspect crashed into the gate and began stabbing ‘anyone and everyone’.
One witness described him moving from victim to victim in a ‘robotic’ manner ‘like he had a job to do’ – targeting ‘anyone’ wearing a kippah [religious skullcap worn by observant male Jews].
He then tried to force his way inside before being shot dead by armed police at 9.38am.
Several things stand out here. One is that the attack occurred outside the synagogue, although the killer wanted to get inside as well. Another is that the carnage was inflicted by a vehicle and a knife. Still another is that two other men were arrested; this could mean that the perp was a “known wolf” affiliated with others.
When that article was written, the authorities hadn’t released the suspect’s identity but had declared the attack to be terrorism, as well as adding:
We believe we know their identity, but for safety reasons at the scene, we’re unable to confirm at this stage.
So they’re afraid someone will react – rioting? attacking police? attacking some other group? – if they learn who the killer was.
As far as I know, there still has been no official word on the killer’s identity. However, a subsequent article says this:
A knifeman who went on a ‘barbaric’ rampage slaughtering two people at a synagogue is an Islamist terrorist, it can now be revealed.
No explanation as to what the source of that information might be. But it’s certainly a good bet it’s true.
Starmer and other politicians have mouthed the usual platitudes. But they have let the situation come to this and even encouraged it by their own lies about Israel. They need the votes of the British Muslims; they don’t need the votes of British Jews, whose numbers are much smaller and who in the last twenty-five years have tended to vote conservative anyway (however, in 2024 they – like most of the population in general – swung to Labour in disgust with the Tories, but their swing was smaller than that of the British population in general).
It was an Islamist terrorist. Knock me down with a feather!
The BBC, earlier, had someone speculating that it might even be a right-wing extremist.
They have allowed unruly demonstrations and takeovers of public spaces for years, and criticized and imprisoned people who pointed out the problems.
@Kate:The BBC, earlier, had someone speculating that it might even be a right-wing extremist.
In their defense, with a name like Jihad Al-Shamie and being originally from Syria, it did seem probable he might be a Reform-voting Brexit-supporting Little Englander with a St George flag.
According to the BBC, “Police… say they are working to understand the motivation behind the attack as the investigation continues.” Got a team of monkeys working around the clock on it, no doubt.
But it’s not appropriate for me to be facetious when so many peaceful Muslims are facing backlash.
“Peace loving”! Lolololololololo
Was Rashida Tlaib driving?
I’ve said it enough times that people are probably sick of it; Gonna be funny and sad when Jews discover their safe spaces are NASCAR events and Baptist churches.
I wonder what the UK equivalent is.
According to the BBC, “Police… say they are working to understand the motivation behind the attack as the investigation continues.”
Of course the police know but cannot say because the UK Establishment would have their jobs, so they’re “just following orders”.
And of course the UK Establishment (and Western EU leaders as well) know the danger that Islam presents to their nation(s). But the massive immigration of culturally antithetical immigrants with the attendant crime and not infrequent jihadist terrorist attacks are the means by which the Globalists are gradually creating the political leverage needed to ‘persuade’ the public to accept digital ID Cards and inevitably, social credit scores.
Leftist UK Starmer is at the forefront, just having proposed mandatory digital ID cards. Promoting it as a sure way to stop illegal immigration. A disingenuous promise, given that most of the immigration into the UK is legal immigration.
He was being honest however when he asserted that without an ID card, working, buying food and paying bills would be impossible… implying its effectiveness in combating illegal immigration. Unsaid however is that it would be equally effective against ‘hate speech’ and ‘unseemly’ protesters waving St. George flags.
What a glorious future! Get out of line and after quick identification as a ‘trouble maker’ and with a push of a button your card and bank accounts are frozen… Since we’ll own nothing, no doubt a prompt eviction notice will also be delivered.
All of that evil clown’s promises are disingenuous, to be sure.
(And Canada’s Carney’s a fellow circus creature…)
From Neo’s second link to the Daily Mail, a nearby resident said this:
‘Previously, there has been a mobile police station outside the synagogue for the holidays but not this time. ‘If there had been, could this have been prevented?’
Good question.
Both stories mentioned Starmer was to chair a COBRA meeting; I had to go through 6 reports in the past before I found something that explained what that was. I suppose if you live in the UK, you know that by now.

The context of that story was rioting by anti-immigrant “far right thugs” and the Prime Minister said that “rioters would regret engaging in “far-right thuggery” and promised those involved in unrest would “face the full force of the law” as he addressed the country.”
Let’s see if he addresses this anti-Semitic thuggery with the same passion.
As disappointing as the Tories were (thank you very much lefties Theresa May and Boris Johnson) voting Labour is a perfect example of cutting your nose to spite your face.
Three clowns – Keir Stalin, UK (that is how I refer to him), Anthony Albanese (Australia), and Mark Carney (Canada).
Aesopfan
“Let’s see if he addresses this anti-Semitic thuggery with the same passion.”
He will mouth the usual platitudes such as “antisemitism has no place in the United Kingdom”, will mention his Jewish wife, all the while babbling on about the dangers of the mythical “Islamophobia”.
