“Our challenge,” said Mark Adlestone, the chairman of the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester & Region, “is to stop this hateful narrative, to stem this at its rotten core. The conflation of anti-Zionism and Jew hatred cannot be allowed to continue.”He added: “We can no longer appease the extremists in this country, especially those of the far left and radical Islamists. In a statement, the group Defend Our Juries, which has organized pro-Palestine marches in Britain, condemned the synagogue attack but said: “The protection of our democracy and the prevention of countless deaths are critical issues. The crowd booed loudly for several minutes, as some people yelled, “You’re all guilty” and “You’ve allowed Jew hatred.” At one point, the crowd started chanting, “Shame on you. Shame on you.”During brief remarks, Mr. Lammy said: “Our country, those of all colors, all faiths and none, stand with you.

I can take the mountains of mess, the pilfering of my possessions, the relentless retail demands (so much deodorant — why?). But what I cannot take is the rudeness. “It’s easier to deal with rudeness in a younger child because it doesn’t hurt you so much,” Apter says. It’s a real change from what’s called the epistemic trust of young children, where so much of the attachment is, ‘I trust your view of the world. Whereas now I feel on my own and it’s all your fault.’”AdvertisementApter agrees that this doesn’t mean rudeness is acceptable.

The perpetrator of the terrorist attack at a British synagogue this week was under investigation for rape and had been released on bail by the police, according to an official with knowledge of the investigation. Jihad al-Shamie, 35, had convictions for past crimes that were unrelated to terrorism, according to the official at Greater Manchester Police, who was not authorized to speak publicly about an active investigation. On Thursday, the assailant rammed his car into people outside the synagogue, Heaton Park Congregation, in Manchester, England, and then went on a stabbing spree before being shot dead by the police while trying to enter the building. Two other men were killed, including one who was accidentally struck by a police bullet, and three others were injured and remain hospitalized. The attack, which came on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, has added to fears about the safety of Jews around the world amid rising antisemitism.

Shabana Mahmood, newly appointed Home Secretary, speaks on the mainstage in the conference hall on day two of the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool. The problem was Lord Glasman told them unequivocally that he didn’t think it had. Glasman blamed Thatcher and Blair equally for the globalisation and deindustrialisation of the UK, saying that while Thatcher started it, “Blair consummated it”. As a result, he told his audience he would not be voting in Labour’s ongoing Deputy Leadership contest. So what does Glasman – seen to be on the right of Labour – think about the Conservatives who will holding their conference in Manchester next week.

Sarah Mullally, a onetime nurse who became the first female Anglican bishop of London, was named on Friday as the 106th archbishop of Canterbury, making her the spiritual leader of 85 million Anglicans worldwide and the first woman to occupy a history-laden post, established more than 1,400 years ago. A former cancer nurse who served as a health administrator and the chief nursing officer for England, Archbishop-designate Mullally, 63, is a vocal exponent of the rights and role of women in the Church of England. She has been the bishop of London since 2018, having been ordained as a priest in 2002. The rumored short list of candidates had included two other female bishops. But the naming of Archbishop-designate Mullally thrusts the church into a new era, potentially sowing tensions within the far-flung Anglican Communion, to which the Church of England, as well as the Episcopal Church in the United States, belong.
