UPDATE: in addition to the two Jewish worshippers who were killed, four others are in very serious condition.
UPDATE: We have learned the name of the attacker is 35-year-old Jihad al Shami. Two men and a woman in her 60s were also arrested in connection with the synagogue attack. He was a Syrian British national.
Several hours ago as of this writing, (9:31 a.m. local time) an anti-Semite in Manchester, England went on a stabbing spree at a Synagogue. At least 4 Jewish people were injured, according to authorities, but it appears the injuries are quite serious.
The Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham, initially announced the attack and response.
At 9:38 am the alleged terrorist was shot and apparently killed--a fast response.
People (yes, we Jews are people) are being treated at the scene.
It is believed that the idiot attacker arrived at the scene in an automobile and had a bomb. Currently the bomb disposal has arrived at the scene but this is an ongoing, developing situation. It is also believed the attacker may have an explosive device on his fat person.
Of course, this situation happened today, the start of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.
The same people who go around calling to "globalize the antifada" have put out a statement:
PM Kier Starmer wrote: "I'm appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services and all the first responders.
Starmer was in Copenhagen, Denmark at the time is is on his way back to the UK.
As I write this, two people have been confirmed dead.
There is supposed to be a mass protest against Jewish people who have the audacity of being Jewish but it isn't known if those a-holes plan to carry out the protest.
If you like my blog and want to Buy Me A Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure.
