"His motive is still unclear" Update: No tears, please, we’re British

/

The BBC decided to play stupid, and speculated that perhaps the terrorist was a “neo-Nazi.” That got debunked rather speedily – and the media has yet to figure out how they will spin this one.

it’s a mystery!

Manchester Synagogue Attack Suspect’s Name Is Literally Jihad

Summary

  • Assailant drives car into pedestrians, stabs security guard near synagogue in Manchester

  • Suspect shot dead by police who rushed to scene after witness report of attack on holiest day of Jewish calendar

  • Police say attacker was a British citizen of Syrian descent

Authorities identified the suspect in a Thursday attack on a Manchester, England, synagogue as Jihad al Shamie, Sky News reported.

Al-Shamie allegedly rammed his car into the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue and began stabbing people, killing two men Thursday morning before being shot dead by police, according to Sky News. Police were reportedly seeking to determine a motive for the attack.

“We are now able to confirm that, although formal identification is yet to take place, we believe the person responsible for today’s attacks is 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie. He is a British citizen of Syrian descent,” the Greater Manchester Police said in a statement. “A suspicious device worn by the attacker during the incident has been assessed and was deemed not to be viable.”

The police also stated they had taken three people into custody on charges related to the attack but did not identify them.

“We can confirm that three suspects are currently in custody and have been arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism,” the Greater Manchester Police said in their statement. “They are two men in their 30s and a woman in her 60s.”

…. “We are working to understand the motivation behind the attack as the investigation continues,” the Greater Manchester Police said in their Thursday evening statement.

UPDATE: … Ms Fiona Smith said said: “I don’t give a f*** about the Jewish community right now. I thought about it and I’m sorry about what happened, but the whole story and why we’re here is because of what happened yesterday [with the flotilla].”

Britain Is Lost: Pro-Hamas Protests After Yom Kippur Terror Attack

Great Britain is no longer great. It has fallen into a cowardly shadow of its former self, run by those who live in fear of radical Islam.

We have watched Great Britain disintegrate over the course of decades at this point, and snivel and cowerin the face of immigrant Islamic men who have used and abused British women with little more than a mild squeak of protest from those in power. Today’s events are simply the natural conclusion of what happens when a country no longer believes in anything, not even its own laws – they have fallen.

This morning, on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, a terror attack took place at a synagogue in Manchester. And yes, this was a deliberate and planned attack.

The assailant, who appeared to be wearing a bomb-loaded belt, was shot dead by cops as he tried to get inside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester as scores of people were worshipping inside, police said.

“Based on what we know, counterterrorism policing has declared this is a terrorist incident,” the UK’s head of counter-terrorism policing, Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, said in the wake of the attack.

The savage rampage unfolded just after 9:30 a.m. when witnesses reported seeing the car crash into members of the public outside the synagogue before a man was stabbed and left lying in a pool of blood.

“The second he got out of the car, he started stabbing anyone near him. He went for the security guard and tried to break into the synagogue,” one eyewitness told the Sun.

“The guy had a knife, and he was just stabbing the window trying to get in,” another onlooker said.

Shocking video showed a cop frantically yelling at horrified onlookers to “go away” because the deranged suspect “has a bomb.”

Authorities later confirmed the feared explosives that were strapped to his belt were “not viable.”

The suspect was shot dead minutes later by cops before he could enter the synagogue, police said.

Two victims, who were both Jewish, were confirmed dead. Three others were in serious condition in the hospital following the attack.

“Your eyes do not deceive you. The pro-Hamas protesters are out in force, both in London and in Manchester, where this terror attack happened. Allegedly, the protests were pre-planned over the Gaza flotilla (starring Greta Thunberg and her merry jihad band of misfits) being intercepted by Israel, and those in attendance didn’t give a shit about the optics.”

Fiona Smith, 42, was one of those in attendance at the demonstration in Westminster where people gathered outside the gates of Downing Street just hours after two Jewish worshippers were killed in a car and knife attack..

She was responding to an earlier call to protest against the detention of Greta Thunberg, with activists urged to “block the tracks” at major railway stations across the UK, including Manchester Piccadilly.

Ms Smith said said: “I don’t give a f*** about the Jewish community right now. I thought about it and I’m sorry about what happened, but the whole story and why we’re here is because of what happened yesterday [with the flotilla].”

Her friend Sibilla Todaro, 39, who lives in London, said: “None of us are against the Jewish community – we’re against Zionism. There’s a lot of Jewish people here with us protesting, which clearly means they condemn what happened today as well as they support this. They’re not mutually exclusive.

Posters shared on social media urged pro-Palestine activists to converge on 19 locations around the UK between 5.30pm and 6pm on Thursday. Most of them were major railway stations in towns and cities.

Officers decided to allow the protest to go ahead at Manchester’s main railway station but a spokesman for the British Transport Police (BTP) said they would intervene if demonstrators tried to enter the station.

Among the locations where protesters were urged to gather included Parliament Square in London, Cardiff Central, Sheffield railway station, Farnborough station in Surrey, Manchester Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street.

“So much for basic common decency. Great Britain is lost. A once-great nation is now a collapsing black hole of radicalism and identity politics. Perhaps some of this might get addressed in the next election (where Starmer and the Labour Party are almost certain to lose), but at this point, the former British Empire has allowed itself to be slowly conquered over many years. A single election is not going to instantly undo years of undermining and damage. You had a good run, Britain. But at this rate, you won’t be around much longer.”
