[News] Brighton teenager jailed for planning attack on Synagogue

You said he should give his head a wobble “too” in response to him telling me I should give my head a wobble - perhaps you just meant @sydney should do so? In which case I agree.

I don’t think making antisemitic comments about “The Jews” on NSC by blaming them for killing Gazans is anywhere near an appropriate response to a news story of someone planning to blow up a Synagogue in Hove. It is not “Jews” that are responsible for what’s happing in Gaza (I’m Jewish, how am I responsible? How are my relatives in the US responsible? How is our Chairman, Tony Bloom responsible?) it is a far right Government that few Israelis now support.

Frankly suggesting, even implying that someone has a justification for blowing up a Synagogue is appalling imo notwithstanding the man’s neo-Nazi views were developed long before October 7.

What don’t people understand about extremist white supremacy Neo-Nazi ideology? It doesn’t just target Jews, but Muslims, Blacks, anyone that isn’t white basically.

Well, yes, I agree. It's no different to suggesting the Manchester Arena attacker had a fair political gripe. A redundant point. There is no justification for murdering innocent folk or planning any sort of intimidatory campaigns.

As a separate and more placid line of conversation, I think that building is a thing of beauty. I've never visited but often admired it.

Apologies for the confusion in the previous post. I seem to have made a habit of crossing my brain wires on NSC in the last 24 hours. (See Euro 1 thread).

just maybe he is sick of what the jews are doing in Gaza and as a sheltered 19 yr old thinks that blowing himself up and taking a synagogue with him is a noble thing to do......maybe he's fried.

Israelis please, not all Jews are complicit in that atrocity. I also find it unlikely a nazi would give a toss about oppressed Arabs.

Yep.

US/UK/German (for example), Neo-Nazis hate Muslims especially in their countries. Many of their uncovered terrorist plots are to attack mosques etc.
