For months, Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government has been under intense pressure from scores of its own members to demonstrate more robust support for Palestinians, especially in Gaza.
But a terrorist attack at a synagogue on Thursday in Manchester, England, which led to the deaths of two people during prayer services on Yom Kippur, exposed a competing political reality for Mr. Starmer: the growing anger among Jews in Britain who believe his government is doing far too little to protect them from hate and antisemitism.
The police have said the synagogue attack was carried out by Jihad al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent, and influenced by what they described as “extreme Islamist ideology.”
The anger at Mr. Starmer’s government was especially evident during a vigil on Friday for victims of the terrorist attack. David Lammy, the deputy prime minister, was booed off the stage by a rain-soaked crowd who angrily chanted, “Shame on you,” and loudly demanded that the Starmer government stop pro-Palestinian marches, saying they instill fear in Jewish residents.
Mr. Lammy expressed his condolences, but made little progress in calming the crowd. He pledged to “stand against all those who would minimize or coddle or obfuscate on anti-Jewish hate.” But he said nothing about banning the pro-Palestinian marches, even as members of the crowd continued to angrily call for it.

The left instinctively side with evil.
The New York Times is very concerned about how much pressure is being put on Two-Tier Kier.
Starmer has locked himself in the cockpit and is aiming for a mountain top, and the Times is concerned about the ‘pressure’ he’s under.
Let loose the ‘starmtroopers’! 🙄
Meh...the man/party most likely to do something about it gets the least support from Jews in the UK.
Queir Starmer was the top prosecutor in the UK [Head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP)] from 2008 to 2013, when the Paki rape/grooming gangs were running wild in the UK.
I think “Dundee” Starmer liked to hold his Musloid overlords’ junk while they were doin’ the grooming.
There’s something afoot in the UK? Why not “breaking”? 😂👍. Have a good wekend!
Thanks for the information.
Go talk to some so-called moderate muslims and see if they'll comdemn it, then tell me this isn't mainstream islamic ideology. I remember after 9/11 what the reaction if the "moderate muslim" community was - they celebrated and then dems declared that criticism them was islamophobic.
...and in that capacity changed the rules governing police interviews of child witnesses. This was a key change in making the subsequent prosecutions possible, since previously it had been difficult to impossible to secure evidence from minors which would stand up in court.
The recent attempts to blame Starmer for the scandal are pretty evidence-free. The forthcoming second public enquiry should throw light on this.
How do you like how “Dundee” Starmer handled the mess in Dundee with Mayah Sommers?
No it does not. This is exactly what atheist Stormer wants. He hates Jews and Christians. He wants chaos. He is a Marxist Communist.
Keir Starmer will arrest all the victims....
Keir Starmer is a Godless reprobate surrendering the Kingdom over to Satan.
This kind is a two-fold child of hell worse than those evil ones he serves and prostrates himself over to at Davos.
He needs to immediately de-recognize a so called ‘Palestinian State’ and undo all that he has done in this matter before more evil arrives on his doorstep.
Do people like Starmer and the DC Democrats ever run out of lies? No, so expect more of the same.
So that's why Keir Starmer married an observant Jew, and his children are being raised as observant Jews?
