Authorities vow to beat anti-Semitism

The British government vowed to redouble its efforts to tackle anti-Semitism yesterday as the Jewish community reeled from an attack at a Manchester synagogue that killed two people on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

The Israeli government has accused the United Kingdom of allowing rampant anti-Semitism to spread through British cities and on its university campuses in the wake of the Oct 7, 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel that sparked Israel’s war in Gaza.

Earlier yesterday, police named the two men killed in the attack as Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, both local residents.
