According to a lot of UK based sublistnooks everything is fine and somehow I believe you.

The local subs are infested with trolls and bots. It's part of a massive propaganda campaign. [The Terrorist Propaganda to Listnook Pipeline](https://www.piratewires.com/p/the-terrorist-propaganda-to-listnook-pipeline)

Dead Internet theory indicates that very few people on listnook are humans.

Surely this should read "arson attack at planned muslim community centre" given that it hasn't been an active synagogue in years and plans are under way for that conversion by a group who had already put the money down to take over the disused building?

They had put a quarter million down in early february. They bought it before it was to be auctioned off later this year. Since it hasn't been a synagogue for years, and a Muslim group purchasing it is public knowledge, i wonder who the intendedl victims were...

The building still has a Star of David on it so it's reasonable to assume the terrorists still thought it was an active synagogue.

Wikipedia says that synagogue was closed 12 years ago. So the terrorists who really hate Jewish people are so obsessed with hating and attacking jews that they did no research, and attacked a building that people haven't actively occupied in years because they saw a star of david? There are... 5 (according to google maps) open synagogues within \~7 blocks of the closed synagogue. Do you really believe that anti-jewish terrorists decided to attack a closed synagogue which was soon to be converted into a Muslim community center?

Anti-Jewish terrorists are incredibly stupid. They probably saw the Star of David on the building and decided to attack it. I highly doubt they put much though into it.

It's pretty obvious that this was Islamophobic scum trying to get complete and total idiots to think it was anti-semitism.

You don't know what the word "obvious" means. Get a dictionary.

Yes, anti-Jewish terrorists are not exactly intellectual giants. It really is as simple as “see Jew or jew symbol, RAAASARGH BAD DESTROY IT” for many of them.
