Just another weak sucker brainwashed by religion. Always amuses me on here, and in life general, how conspiracy theorists are laughed at and mocked, whilst dullards who believe in invisible gods get away with an easy ride.Quote:

So I’m less concerned about the policing of language and civility and I’m more concerned about the actual bombs that are landing on people…
Speaking as a member of the Jewish community, I wouldn’t want anyone to feel like they had to be silent about a genocide that’s happening because of an outrageous, atrocious attack that happened on our soil too. These are separate things and we should condemn them all.

Some fantastic places and people combined with a very Trumpian sense of threat and distopia at other times.
I doubt we will ever go back, but I'm glad we were able to experience it.
We have done Florida and I've driven on Daytona Beach, you could back then 80s 😂, and the usual Disney stuff, Texas and went to South fork ranch 😂 which was actually quite disappointing, and new York for Valentine's because under this robust exterior I'm just a softy at heart.Quote:

Jewish Bloc Statement on the attack on Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue
The Jewish Bloc is horrified and sickened by the murderous attack on the Manchester synagogue yesterday. We send our condolences and love to the families of the victims and all members of the congregation. Nobody should lose their life for where or when they choose to pray.
We were devastated by the news that the Greater Manchester Police operation was responsible for the death of one congregation member and the injury of others, as well as the death of the attacker. It is appalling that shul goers who called the police for help ended up dead at their hands. We stand in solidarity with the families of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz.
In the immediate aftermath of an attack like this we mourn the victims and offer our support to a community reeling in shock, whether the attack be at a synagogue, school, mosque or nightclub. We are deeply moved by the widespread expressions of sympathy and solidarity we have received from our comrades and friends in the Palestine solidarity movement and a range of Muslim organisations, and are grateful for the support they have offered.
We were shocked when, less than 24 hours after the attack, a relatively new Home Secretary went onto the airwaves to weaponise the fear and grief of our community by resurrecting a slur: that those protesting for Palestine represent a danger to Jews. She is cynically exploiting this tragic event to fulfil a long-standing ambition of successive British Governments: to justify a ban on the mass protests against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
We are distressed that some of our communal leaders, including the Chief Rabbi of the United Synagogue, have also tried to exploit our grief and fear in order to suppress and silence those organising for Palestine.
Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and violent bigotry are on the rise. We will not speculate on the motives of the attacker but we all recognise and condemn the increase in antisemitic conspiracy theories across social media, as well as the dog-whistle phrases now appearing in the speeches of mainstream politicians.
We are a diverse group of British Jews. Some are secular and some were in synagogues yesterday. Many have links to families and friends who will have attended Heaton Park synagogue yesterday. We will be marching again next Saturday, and will continue to take to the streets until we see an end to this genocide and until Palestine is free. We will continue to strengthen our links of solidarity and mutual support with Muslims and other communities targeted by racism. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.
