@news.at.this.hour Following the Manchester terror attack on Thursday that claimed the lives of two Jewish people, Prime Minister Keir Starmer came out in support of the Jewish community, pledging to do ‘everything’ in his power to protect them against anti-semitism. As part of this, he called for the postponement of the Defend Our Juries anti-ban protest to ‘respect the grief of British Jews.’ Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, also called the demonstration ‘un-British’, while Scotland Yard chief, Sir Mark Rowley warned it would “likely create further tensions and some might say lack sensitivity.” The Met Police also wrote to Defend Our Juries on Friday, asking them to delay the protest due to the toll on police resources which were needed to provide “visible reassurance and protective security” around Jewish communities. The incident on Thursday saw a car-ramming and stabbing outside a Manchester synagogue on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur. The suspect, Jihad Al-Shamie was out on bail after a rape arrest and was shot by police at the scene, with one of the victims also shot by police fire. But what did protestors think of the attack and criticisms being directed at them? I headed down to Trafalgar Square to find out. #antisemitism #protest #manchester #britishpolitics #palestine
