British Jews and police work closely together to prevent attacks
But in Manchester on Yom Kippur an attacker got through
“UN-BRITISH” is how Sir Keir Starmer, the prime minister, described student protests planned in London and several other cities on October 7th, the anniversary of Hamas’s murderous attack on Israel two years ago.
