The English ‘Crystal Night’ No One Dares Mention

 

What follows is an account of the anti-Jewish pogrom that occurred in Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool in August 1947.

At the time, Britain still occupied Palestine and Jewish terrorists fought to replace the British colonizers.

This is despite the British armed forces having recently fought National Socialist Germany in a war that:

1) Was fought for international Jewish interests

2) Had welcomed ousted German Jews since the early 1930s.

During the Zionist vs. British conflict for control of Palestine, two British army sergeants were captured by Jewish terrorists. In reprisal for Britain’s hanging of captured Jewish assassins, the two British servicemen were lynched.

 

 

In Britain, outrage and a great uproar followed. There were pogroms against Jewish communities in Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester.

The text is from a book, Jerusalem Your Name is Liberty, by Walter Lever. Lever had been a member of the British Communist Party until the Stalin-Hitler pact of August 1939.

The two innocent British sergeants picked at random had injured no one. But they wore the uniforms of what the Jews regarded as a hostile police force. That was enough to cause their cold-blooded murder as a reprisal.

‘However, the newspapers were not interested in balancing rights and wrongs. It was August bank holiday weekend when I returned to Manchester; sultry, oppressive weather for city dwellers. Trade was bad, and many workers were laid off.

‘On Sunday there was nothing to do but walk the streets and stand at the corners discussing the latest news. This week all the Sunday papers carried the story of the hanged sergeants in bold letters and photographs across the front page, its details taking precedence over the week’s murders and rapes.

‘In the evening the pubs opened but closed early on account of a beer shortage. At the street corners, the crowds grew thicker. Someone here and someone there thought it would be a good idea to show the Jews what real Englishmen thought of them. The idea caught on, and a mob moved towards Manchester’s Cheetham Hill, the old Jewish quarter.
