It definitely seems more grey than the Manchester Synagogue attack. That was horrific.
The worst thing? I, a Jew, was scared of local attacks and a lovely Muslim co-worker of mine was scared of the right wing wackos. It hurts EVERYONE.
We made a point to go shopping together for solidarity.

Oh that changes things for sure. I didn't see that bit I am afraid.
I still think that actions such as this are unfortunate but if the attack was to take out a group of war criminals rather than just attack Jews then it's not anti-Semitic.
Did you know this when you posted the original post though

But it was unquestionably anti-Semitic. It was an attack on a religious gathering for Hannukah. It was DELIBERATELY targeting Jews.
I agree that criticising Zionism and Israel is not anti-Semitic but this isn't that.
Not every Jew is a Zionist or an Israeli genocide orchestrator.

As much as I agree that the former is horrific and should be condemned equally.
This was an attack on a specifically Jewish event.
It IS clearly motivated by antisemitism. It IS an attack on Jews. So talking about the community that was attacked is fair.

Well UK gun laws are more like....

"Can I have a gun'

'What sort and why'

'Oh I just want a one'

'No'

'I want to hunt'

'Ok you may have a very limited type of Gun with a lot of restrictions'

'But what if an animal attacks me!'

'Mate, If you get attacked by a deer that's a skill issue'
