This was the first deadly attack on a British synagogue in hundreds of years, but it was not the first attack. Antisemitism is nothing new but it has soared in recent years. And we are told that it is fake, and that it is our fault: www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Thanks - appreciate knowing it’s not just me
