Manchester terror
By 
The cynical use of opposing anti-Semitism was a pretext by the Trump administration doesn’t mean that the rise in anti-Semitic violence itself isn’t real:
Two men from the Jewish community have died and three other people remain in hospital with serious injuries, police say, after a car and knife attack in Manchester.
The attack came on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
The attacker was killed by firearms officers, and three other people are being held in custody.
Manchester police say they believe the synagogue attacker is 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent.
He was wearing a device at the time of the attack – officers have since said it was “not viable”.
Police have declared it a terrorist incident, and say they are working to understand the motivation behind the attack as the investigation continues.
A happy and safe Yom Kippur to all in the LGM community who celebrate.
