The rabbi, of the Higher Crumpsall and Higher Broughton Synagogue, is trying to reassure his shocked community after the conviction of a radicalised Muslim couple for planning bomb attacks on Jewish areas.

“You can’t run your life thinking you might be a victim of a terror attack, and if you did that would mean the terrorists had won,” he said.

  1. Ask any bully or victim of a bully, they will both admit the same thing: as long as there is no meaningful retaliation, the situation will continue, usually with increasing severity.

  2. You are right, it will continue and increase in severity until someone is killed, yet if the Jews fight back they will end up being the ones arrested.
