The decision by pro-Palestinian groups and supporters to proceed with protests calling for an end to the war in Gaza after Thursday’s deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester was “fundamentally un-British”, the home secretary has said as she called for other demonstrations this weekend to be called off.
Shabana Mahmood also said she would appeal to anyone thinking of going on one to pause and think how they would feel if a loved one was murdered on the holiest days of the year in their faith.
Mahmood was speaking as more details emerged about the attacker, whom police had named as Jihad al-Shamie, who she said was not known to counter-terrorism police and who had not been referred to the the British government’s Prevent de-radicalisation programme.
