Rabbi Daniel Walker, who was present during the attack, and the other two officials of the synagogue called in the press release to get together “to fight the disaster of anti -Semitism, wherever it was manifested.”
In Manchester, where one of the most important Jewish communities in the United Kingdom lives, several people told AFP their deep concern.
“I never thought that something could happen,” said Rochelle Miller, teacher -retirement. “My father was surviving from the Holocaust and was grateful to England for giving him asylum. This will be destroyed by what is happening, ”she added.
“All my life I have proudly lived by the fact that he is a British Jew, but I can’t honestly say the same in the last two years,” said Ben Faglman, an 18 -year -old student. Since the murderous attack of Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023, which caused a war in the gas sector, “the growth of anti -Semitism has become more and more noted.”
Israeli President Isaac Herzog regretted the LBC radio on Friday with “real horror” and calculated that “strong actions” were necessary to combat “this terrible wave of terror and anti -Semitism”.
In this context, several officials called on the organizers of the missing events to cancel the events planned this weekend, but they were supported.
Keir Starkmer asked the demonstrators to “recognize and respect the pain of British Jews this week.” “This is the moment of mourning, not the time to incite tension,” he added.
