We were lucky, others have not been so lucky.

 

My family’s Yom Kippur went well. I managed to combine fasting with being a type II diabetic which is tricky and involves a lot more blood tests than I would usually do. Thankfully the fast ended a couple of millimoles before hypoglycemia became an issue (the L-rd moves in mysterious ways LOL).

We had a peaceful time of it although our shul was under highly visible police and hired security guard presence. The fact that we have to have police and professional security at a Yom Kippur service even though we are a rural-ish community is testament to how bad things have got for Jews in the UK.

Others elsewhere in the world were not so lucky.

In Canada there was a shootout between police and an assailant outside a synagogue near Ontario. The assailant and a police officer were injured. The Rabbi of the synagogue was extremely lucky in that the assailant arrived after the Rabbi had arrived and entered the building. If the assailant had been a few minutes early we might be looking at a murdered Rabbi.

The news outlet the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) has named the shooter as Shawn Ward aged 29 from a nearby city. The injured police officer has been named by the JTA as Constable Jeff Smith.

According to the JTA Ward pulled up in his truck and opened fire on the synagogue with a shotgun, a gun battle then ensued which resulted in both Constable Smith and Ward being injured.

  1. Meanwhile that odious wanker and Pimp4palestine Carney, decried the attack and “how we must protect our Jewish community” Yadda Yadda Yadda and the usual bullshit.
    If the Shitbag hadn’t Pimped4palestine an openly Jew hating terrorist entity and “recognised palestine” gaslit Israel and activated ever fascist-left student, Marxist lecturer, Jew hating politicians and put a target on our backs, this would not have happened.
    The same goes for the shitbags here, Starmer who kicked it off, with the rest of the Euroshites and others jumping on the Jew hate bandwagon.
    The reality is that we don’t want hollow and insincere gestures plefing money to protect Jews and Jewish sites what we want is for you to stop the runaway incitement the sick obsession with Israel while ignoring the real atrocities worldwide, the “Palestine” fetish that’s taken on a life of its own the barely controllable Frankenstein monster that so many of our supposed “leaders” embrace.
    This attack was disgusting, but hardly unpredictable, it’s actually although perversely comforting that so few attacks occurred over Yom Kippur considering the vile rhetoric and incitement plus thevsoftvpedalling against the jew-haters, the Paliwankers© the fascist-left useful-idiots and the religion of cuddly kittens.

    Perhaps in this sea of human created sewage, this cultural cesspool, the good Lord has our backs in the diaspora and for Israel. G-d bless Israel.

    • It’s incredibly two faced of Carney to say what he has said. There would be less of a problem with Pally wankers in Canada if both he and the failed drama teacher Justin Trudeau had not pandered to said Pally wankers.

  2. As the Lord pronounces: “Those who bless Israel, I will bless. Those who curse Israel, I will curse”
    Saudi Arabia may be at the point of the former while the UK is making every possible effort for the latter, under a supposed “non-discrimanatory” “anti-racist” “anti far-right”, “inclusive” and above all “tolerant” Labour government led by the munificent (with other people’s money) King’o’the-North and the Islamopandering Marxist and self-hating jooo Miliband.
    It seems that most of the EU are lining up for the curse, particularly Spain and Ireland….
