Tragedy in Manchester

Two men were killed and four were injured when tragic events unfolded near the synagogue in Heaton Park, Manchester, on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

“In light of the horrific terrorist act in Manchester, Israel and the Jewish people firmly stand with our allies in the United Kingdom,” said Israeli Minister Amichai Chikli.

Robinson accepted the invitation and plans to visit Israel this month.

“I confirm that immediately after my trial on October 13, I will go to Israel,” he wrote in a post on X in response to the invitation.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has previously been deported from several countries due to national security issues.

This far-right activist has numerous criminal cases in the UK, including fraud, harassment, and violence.

He has now been invited to Israel as a “partner” of Tel Aviv.

“Tommy Robinson is a thug who represents the worst part of Britain,” said the Jewish Leadership Council of Great Britain.

This came after the horrific attack that killed two members of the Jewish community.

Mervyn Kravitz, 66, and Adrian became victims of this horrific attack.

The Israeli authorities expressed dissatisfaction with the British government for inadequate action in addressing rising antisemitism after the attack.

“The truth must be told: the obvious and growing antisemitic calls for violence have become commonplace on the streets of London,” noted Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.

Robinson's invitation to Israel has sparked sharp criticism from some Jewish organizations, which emphasize his inappropriate reputation. At the same time, the situation regarding attacks on Jewish communities in Ukraine and beyond raises questions not only about security but also about the appropriateness of cooperation with figures like Robinson.

The trigger for the invitation stemmed not only from his political views but also from the tragic events in Manchester, which continue to generate tension in society, demanding more active government action. The fight against antisemitism remains a pressing issue for both the UK and Israel, highlighting the importance of solidarity between countries.
