Terror attack victim hailed a hero 'no longer feels safe in UK'

Yoni Finlay, a father injured during a violent attack at a Manchester synagogue, is questioning his future in Britain after expressing concerns about the safety of Jewish people in the country. Finlay was wounded when police fired at an armed attacker, suffering serious injuries that required extensive surgery. The attack, which occurred on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, left two worshippers dead, including one who was mistakenly shot by police.

Finlay's ex-wife, Naomi, revealed that their family has faced multiple antisemitic incidents, including threats and abuse directed at their children. She voiced disappointment over the lack of consequences for those responsible, saying it has contributed to a sense of vulnerability. While she appreciates the increased police presence at synagogues and schools following the attack, she remains concerned about long-term protection for the community.

Despite his ordeal, Finlay does not blame the police for his injuries and is focused on recovering, both physically and emotionally. His actions during the attack have been widely praised, with his family and community hailing him as a hero for helping to prevent further tragedy.
