Manchester Cemetery Vandalized

The Guardian reported that 14 headstones were desecrated in the Manchester's Blackley Jewish cemetery. Police say the destruction of headstones was a "deliberate and targeted" hate crime.

Ch Supt Wasim Chaudhry from Greater Manchester police’s north Manchester division said: “This is a sickening act of antisemitism which we are taking very seriously. I believe this was a deliberate and targeted attack and there is no place for such abhorrent behaviour in our communities.

“All decent members of the public recognise that a cemetery is supposed to be a resting place for people who have passed away, a place of sanctity and dignity where families can come and pay their respects.

“So to have those graves desecrated in such a disgusting and disrespectful way will no doubt cause immeasurable anguish to the families and loved ones affected.”

Unfortunately there are repeated warnings that antisemitic attacks are on the rise in the Great Britain after reaching the highest level ever recorded last year.
