The men were killed when an attacker used a car to ram into the grounds of a synagogue in Crumpsall, then stabbed worshippers in a six-minute rampage
Thursday’s attack drew widespread condemnation from across the political spectrum, with Keir Starmer calling the knife attacker a “vile individual” who “attacked Jews because they are Jews, and attacked Britain because of our values”. Political rivals Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage were among those joining the prime minister in showing support for the Jewish community.
It happened days before the second anniversary of the 7 October attacks by Hamas in Israel. Police said there would be heightened security at synagogues and Jewish community centres in coming days. Research published on Thursday showed that more than a third (35%) of British Jews said they felt unsafe in the UK, compared with 9% before the 7 October attacks.
My deepest sympathies are with Mr Daulby and Mr Cravitz’s loved ones at this extremely hard time.
