(Jewish News) Kemi Badenoch has used her leader’s speech at the Tory Party conference to draw a direct link between pro-Palestine protests on Britain’s streets and the Manchester synagogue terror attack.
Speaking on Sunday at the start of the party’s conference in Manchester, she said extremism on the UK’s streets had gone “unchecked” and the pro-Palestine demos are in fact “carnivals of hatred directed at the Jewish homeland.”
Badenoch said she had visited members of the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation shul and told delegates at the conference the “strength of Manchester’s Jewish community is humbling.”
She also noted how, since the first Jewish community was established in Manchester in the 1780s, Jews have been “part of the fabric” of the city.
