Thursday’s incident came as the community observed Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar

Police said they had shot a man suspected in a stabbing and car-ramming that injured four people at a synagogue Thursday in the northern English city of Manchester on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Greater Manchester Police said in a series of posts on X that a major incident was declared after a member of the public reported that they had “witnessed a car being driven toward members of the public” and that one “man had been stabbed” near the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, an area known for its large Jewish community.

    Sorry you got censored.

    In time, we’ll have communities and instances that take moderation seriously and don’t remove posts just because they feel like it.

      I can’t speak to the motivations for its removal.

      For all I know a bunch of users reported my comment and a mod removed it accidentally because they’re overworked or tired.

      I’m not trying to denigrate the work they do, just highlighting a small issue that I personally had.

      And to be fair, my original comment was less articulate and more to the point, so perhaps the fault was mine for not providing the proper disclaimers about my positions regarding the rejection of violence. I thought I had, but I can accept that others may have interpreted it in ways that I did not intend.
