Why Jews feel increasingly unsafe in Britain
An attack on a Manchester synagogue follows a resurgence in antisemitism
IT WAS THE holiest day of the year. But for British Jews, Yom Kippur will now carry a tragic memory. On October 2nd a terrorist of Syrian descent attacked worshippers gathered outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Manchester, first ramming them with his car, then stabbing them with a knife, before being shot dead by police.

One of those killed and one of those injured appear to have been caught by police gunfire, leaving the authorities facing a swirl of questions amid the collective mourning.
