UK Justice Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy is jeered as he addresses a vigil near Heaton Park Congregation, the Manchester synagogue where two people were killed in a terror attack during Yom Kippur services on Thursday.
The Guardian reports that audience members call out “Shame on you,” “Go to Palestine, leave us alone,” “You’ve allowed it to grow on the campuses” and “You have blood on your hands” at Lammy as he took the stage.
At least one audience member turned her back to Lammy as he spoke, according to the outlet.
One former congregant, Joanne Lazarus, 61, is quoted telling the PA news agency she didn’t think Lammy would care about the response he received.
She says she “can’t take” weekly pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protests and wants the government to shut them down.
“I can’t take these marches every single Saturday,” she says. “I’ve been into town on a Saturday and have been told I’m a baby killer and to ‘go home,’”

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
