Video: Lammy heckled at synagogue vigil – for not being genocidal enough

Genocide–denier David Lammy was heckled today in Manchester as he spoke to a vigil gathered for the people murdered and wounded yesterday – by an attacker and by Manchester police – at Heaton Park Synagogue in Crumpsall.

But it was clear from the crowd’s banners, and shouts of ‘Go to Palestine’, that the racism of Zionism was on show. And, it was Lammy being heckled for not being pro-genocide enough and not being hard enough on the anti-genocide protest movement. That’s in spite of the fact that many people who object to Israel’s genocide in Palestine have been criminalised by Lammy’s government for opposing Israel’s slaughter of almost 700,000 civilians in Gaza, two thirds of them children:

No place of worship should be attacked, in this country or anywhere. Nor should people be killed because of their ethnicity or religious beliefs. Yet Israel has flattened hundreds of mosques and all Gaza’s Christian churches, murdering worshippers in huge numbers by missiles and sniper fire – while these protesters call for the peaceful demonstrations about that to stop.

Heaton Park Synagogue’s website describes the IDF as ‘heroic’.
