UK: Double arson at kosher restaurants in Manchester being treated as anti-Semitic hate crimes

“The two restaurants, one a deli and the other serving Israeli-style meat fast food, are located in a famously Orthodox Jewish neighborhood north of Manchester’s city center.”

According to the police investigation, early yesterday morning, arsonists broke the window of JS, poured fuel and lit a fire in the seating area of the restaurant. Firefighters arrived quickly and managed to prevent serious damage. Last Friday, arsonists threw milk cartons full of fuel at the Ta’am Restaurant, located on the central Bury New Road and about a minute’s walk away from the JS restaurant. Luckily, the burning cartons failed to cause serious damage.
