We were due to release this statement, supported by a number of Greater Manchester MPs, on Friday 3 October. Obviously, this had to be delayed following the terrorist attack targeting our community.

Over the last few days, we have spoken about how incitement across society is putting the Jewish community in danger. One of the many issues we have continually raised is how our cultural spaces are being weaponised to support terrorism and glorify violence.

Our initial letter sent over three weeks ago is below.  The fact a band who are responsible for an “antisemitic broadcast” was booked at one of our city’s most iconic venues is shameful. The fact we have not received a response, even after British Jews weer murdered in cold blood is utterly unforgiveable.
