A recent terrorist attack in Manchester, England, testifies to a darkening future for not only Europe‘s Jews, but Europe itself. To save both, both the press and the policymakers must stand forthright against antisemitism.

On Thursday, a man attacked the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester, murdering two. The attacker rammed his car into worshippers who were standing outside the synagogue, before exiting his vehicle and stabbing them. He was subsequently shot and killed by police. British counterterrorism authorities have classified the incident as a terrorist attack, noting that it was targeted and unfolded on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
