| 0:00.0 | Now, Jewish people across Britain, of course, reeling after the anti-Semitic attack on a synagogue in Manchester. |
| 0:07.9 | One Jewish worshipper was killed by the attacker, another shot dead during the whole attack by police, |
| 0:18.6 | but nonetheless, you know, several of the worshippers |
| 0:21.9 | injured by the attacker. It's very, we don't obviously know the exact circumstances on |
| 0:27.1 | terms of motives, but it's very clear it's an anti-Semitic attack, which has caused horror. |
| 0:32.1 | Now, in the aftermath of that, very swiftly, opportunistically, it's been used to call for the suppression of the movement in solidarity of Palestinians and against Israel's genocide. |
| 0:45.6 | Now, I'm really honoured to be joined by Emily Stevenson from Namod, the incredible movement here in Britain of Jewish Brits who are fighting against the genocide, |

| 1:50.9 | of, you know, how would you sum up the kind of sense that many, many Jewish bits who understand |
| 1:55.2 | me feeling right now? I think a lot of Jewish people in the UK, and this is across the entirety of the political and religious spectrum, feel incredibly vulnerable right now. |
| 2:06.4 | I think a lot of people feel very shaken. |
| 2:09.5 | And I think there is kind of an element of this inherited trauma, ancestral trauma for a lot of people who are very, very scared |
| 2:19.2 | about the future of Jewish life in Britain. I'm very scared about the rise in all forms of |
