Thursday’s incident came as the community observed Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar
Police said they had shot a man suspected in a stabbing and car-ramming that injured four people at a synagogue Thursday in the northern English city of Manchester on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
Greater Manchester Police said in a series of posts on X that a major incident was declared after a member of the public reported that they had “witnessed a car being driven toward members of the public” and that one “man had been stabbed” near the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, an area known for its large Jewish community.
I didn’t accuse you of celebrating this attack?
My concern is that you don’t have the “emotional energy” to worry about how this is going to make everything worse.
I am very aware of how this will be leveraged to attack the people and groups who are opposed to genocide.
I was very specific about who my apathy was for.
Additionally, after a mod removed my first post, I revise and resubmitted it. This time doing a cursory glance at the the people who run that synagogue.
To the surprise of no one, they’re pro-genocide, anti-Palestinian self-determination, and outspoken Zionist political activists.
And for 26th time, I am anti-violence and do not condone, support, or sanctify this attack. Furthermore, their beliefs do not justify violence, and if one’s goals are to end the genocide, this type of violence makes that harder.
