why is this a surprise, wait till there is a war in Palestine im sure we will see more of this sort of behaviour. of course we don't know who is reponsible yet, so one can't apportion blame to a particular culture, but sorry this need sorting out pretty damn quick.

[Spicerack]

Sorry if we did this one. This Rabbi was/is, they say, a very nice, extremely gentle person.
I've seen the names of the attackers and, surprisingly, they aren't far right, white fascists.

[emmie]

The poor man must be beside himself, his family probably frightened there is more to come. I am ashamed of my countrymen who do this sort of thing and if they aren't British born should perhaps be booted out. cowards one and all

// I am ashamed of my countrymen who do this sort of thing and if they aren't British born...//

isnt this a trigger for TTT to demand all British born people are instantly deported because a few are misbehaving?

or have I totally misunderstood the intellects and trend-setters on AB AGAIN !

[Jackdaw33]

I suspect that spicerack's post cryptically defines the origins of the attackers.

//Abderrahman Brahimi, 25, and Souraka Djabouri, 18, both of Tudor Crescent, Hainault, are due to appear at Colchester Magistrates’ Court today (Wednesday May 19). //

[emmie]

wonder if they are indeed British born, shame on them both

Are you sure it's not anti-Israel which is an entirely different thing - many Jews are not happy with Israel's activities.

But, hey ho, if you want to fall for Israeli propaganda then so be it.

No, I do not approve of such appalling behaviour, and would support severe punishment for the perpetrators.

[Spicerack]

Beat a Rabbi up because you're anti-Israel? Wrong use of that excuse.
Why do you lefties hate Jewish people?

[Peter Pedant]

Excuse me - even tho Abdel rahman thingey blew up the Arena,
I dont subscribe to repatriating all Libyans in Manchester

(*) they are the ones ( family I think) who told MI5 - you know his brother is in prison in Libya dont you? They didnt

[Deskdiary]

Can we stop using the phrase anti-semitic? In the past on AB somebody usually popped and nasally pointed out the Palestinians are semites.

Let’s call it what it is - Jew Hate.

[emmie]

and its on the up, awful as that is.

[naomi24]

Canary, /Are you sure it's not anti-Israel which is an entirely different thing - many Jews are not happy with Israel's activities.//

You say some pretty ignorant things but this time you've excelled yourself.

[youngmafbog]

Was the Rabbi promoting attacks on the Palestinians?

Or was it simply an alleged random attack by two men?

[Peter Pedant]

yeah I am aware of the irony in anti-semitic when i hear it - - in that the Arabs are semitic too
