Another plot against a synagogue, and no one seems to mind.
There is something almost unbearably familiar about the news coming out of Manchester: Two Iranian nationals have been charged with preparing acts of terrorism, in what British authorities describe as a plot directed against the Jewish community.
The arrests occurred on September 20, the eve of Yom Kippur, when Jews throughout Britain were gathering in synagogues for the holiest day of their religious calendar. The planning reportedly involved reconnaissance of Jewish sites and preparations for a homemade chlorine bomb.
The timing — during the Jewish High Holy Days, and on the first anniversary of last year’s deadly Heaton Park synagogue attack — is particularly significant.
If that timing sounds ominous, consider the location. The alleged targets included Jewish sites in Manchester, including the Heaton Park synagogue. That is the same synagogue where, exactly one year earlier, two British Jews were murdered during Yom Kippur.
The names of those victims, Melvin Kravitz and Adrian Daulby, ought not to disappear into the endless news cycle. They were killed because they were Jews attending synagogue.
Here’s where the story becomes considerably more uncomfortable for the people who insist that every terrorist threat must be discussed in isolation, and bears no relationship to all the others. The Metropolitan Police says the two defendants are Iranian nationals, and investigators allege they were in contact with an overseas third party who may be in Iran.
There is another detail that ought to provoke serious discussion: British authorities say both men entered the United Kingdom by small boat. One of the defendants had reportedly received asylum in Britain, while the other had a pending claim.
This raises a perfectly legitimate national security question: How effectively can a government identify hostile actors

If Hitler were alive today (and I’m not saying he’s not) he’d be a thorn in Trump’s side and the TDS Positive anti-Israel Universities, The Fake News Media and the demonicRAT Party would all be on Hitler’s side while calling Trump Hitler.
I wonder who owns the NGOs that are bringing all the invaders there.
The Jews were supposed to be safe in New York City. etc etc.
Can we at least agree that there are no good muzzslimes?
The only good muzzie is a...
You know the rest.
Yeah, sure. Following WWII, it was the Brits who strafed ships because they were headed to Israel. They wanted to prevent that new nation from being formed.
I was about to say the same thing.
It isn't as though Pakistani Islamists think any more highly of English "infidels" than they do of Jewish ones, yet for some reason attacks on Jews by Muslims get more press than Muslim violence and hostility to any and all other "infidels".
Articles like this remind me of the misplaced focus on anti-Semitism at Harvard and other elite universities in the US, while ignoring the fact that these same institutions have social "sciences" and humanities curricula predicated on anti-white bigotry and the notion that the world is divided into evil white oppressors and non-white oppressed victims.
Jews aren't the sole or even the primary targets of either Muslims or leftists.
Yep 👍!
They dumped him in 1945, after weathering German bombs and almost losing their sovereignty and their lives. The reasons? They wanted to pursue social welfare and whatever they thought ‘rebuilding’ would be.
In other words, they were f’ing stupid, and voted against strength while voting for socialism. F them.
I've been a very big supporter of the UK, but they're making it very hard to continue to be.
Winston Churchill was a great wartime leader but nit such a great peacetime leader.
Though, in 1945 voters did not reject Churchill personally so much as they rejected his party and its vision for peacetime Britain. The electorate remembered the poverty, unemployment, and housing shortages of the 1930s under Conservative rule.
Remember that during tye war there was a unity government with labour looking after the home economy. Clement Attlee’s Labour Party had served in Churchill’s wartime coalition government, demonstrating executive competence while championing social reconstruction—notably the creation of a National Health Service (NHS).
And in contrast you got to see his failures before the war: in 1925 as Chancellor of the Exchequer, he pegged the British pound to gold at pre-war rates. This overvalued the currency, damaged British exports, caused wage cuts in the mining sector, and directly triggered the 1926 General Strike.
During the Tonypandy Riots (1910) in Wales and the 1919 Glasgow strike, Churchill deployed troops or military police, earning a enduring disreputation among working-class communities
And Churchill’s obdurate position denting the Indian subcontinent from even moderate home rule (as Canada and Australia and new Zealand already had), in many ways pushed India towards full independence.
“Britain has never rally been very friendly to the Jewish people”
Have you forgotten Benjamin Disraeli?
When Disraeli became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1868, he was the first person of Jewish ancestry to serve as head of government for a major modern European state.
Despite his Christian baptism, Disraeli never hid his Jewish heritage; he proudly embraced his Sephardic identity throughout his political and literary career.
What makes you label britain as “never rally been very friendly to the Jewish people”?
Uh, nobody’s safe in Britain now that they’ve welcomed in their new tormentors.

“Can we at least agree that there are no good muzzslimes?”
Most Muslims are decent.
The very small percentage of Muslims that are bad can be very good at it.
Muslims are almost universally best left in their native lands.
I knew who Disraeli was. Take a look at what happnend in the Channel Island to the few Jews the UK couldn’t and wouldn’t protect.
The British fascists then , like Mosely and things like this is why I say that.

I heard that Neville Chamberlain was very anti-semitic. No wonder he got along so well with Hitler.
