34+ min ago (327+ words) A Jewish father wounded in the deadly attack on Heaton Park Synagogue last October said the assault marked the moment "many in Britain's Jewish community had feared," describing an atmosphere in which antisemitism has been "allowed to fester" while Jewish residents feel increasingly unsafe across the country. The terrorist, armed with a "huge knife" and wearing what appeared to be a bomb belt, was shot by police moments after trying to storm the synagogue. A police bullet penetrated the synagogue door, striking Finlay in the chest before fatally wounding worshipper Adrian Daulby. Another congregant, Melvin Cravitz, was killed outside. Finlay underwent a seven'hour operation and spent days in the hospital. "I knew immediately I'd been shot," he told The Times. "It felt like a really hard punch." Weeks later, he said the emotional burden remains heavy. "I've been told it's…...

But despite the groups' claims, the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer said that the sale had nothing to do with "divestment" but was simply a part of a routine portfolio rebalance. "The sale of two Israel Government International bonds was not related to a divestment exercise," the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer said in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. "The previously held bonds were sold in October during a larger fixed income portfolio rebalancing exercise that sold bonds with shorter remaining maturity than the portfolio typically holds." The activists had hailed the sale as a win for the boycott Israel movement. "VICTORY: NC DIVESTS FROM ISRAEL!! Genocide and apartheid are a bad investment,…...
