Yesterday, two people were killed in a terror attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation, a synagogue in Manchester. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz, their families, and the three people that remain in hospital. 

Today saw a highly distressing development to the tragedy - one of the victims killed was hit by police gunfire, as was one of the survivors who remain in hospital. Now, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and the Met Police have called for tomorrow’s Palestine Action protest to be postponed, given the circumstances. Would this be right, or the result of a dangerous conflation between yesterday’s events and anti-zionism?
