Bad For Jews in the UK?

[Ellen Brown]

I didn't put this in the Jewish Forums because I want to hear from everyone.

In BBC, I was surprised to see the article that states things are so bad for Jews there, that some are considering leaving? This is very surprising.

Correction: CNN has the story.

Hello. This is very disheartening. I wonder though how many countries we could name in which Jews did NOT face discrimination?

Peace

Sooo...are we expecting the parting of the English Channel (I'm truly sorry, but I couldn't help myself)?

It is confusing. When I was a very observant Muslim, I still respected the Jews, as do most Muslims. I've met nice Jews and those who I just wanted to punch. The same is true of Baptists, Catholics, Mormons and Atheists...

You called?
(I've been punched recently by a few here.
They don't take disagreement well.)

Anti-Semitism is so bad in Britain that some Jews are planning to leave - CNN

You ever wonder why they are always persecuted?

I've had contact with some very nice Jews, and some who were absolute jerks. You can't imagine some of the nutty stuff they get up to. G_d said they were a stiff necked people...

If history has anything to tell us it's because Christians/Muslims needs a flesh and blood bogeyman they can toss around.

I think this story is rather overdone. I see that the text of your link says that the actual number leaving the UK this year is lower than in the previous three! So this is just talk, basically.

What is for sure is that there is no general undercurrent of antisemitism in Britain. There certainly is an undercurrent of criticism of Israel, but that is hardly surprising, given Israel's current politics.

The Labour left I think has a problem because they have a lot of people who strongly side with the Palestinians in the disputes in the Holy Land and this can shade off into antisemitism if people are lazy in their thinking or their speech. But this is all in the world of political activism, and does not colour the views of the man in the street, so far as I can judge.

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee Revoltingest ? Back on topic; The Jewish people will remain cursed and blessed until the end times. Who would of thought that Israel could survive while surrounded by those that want to destroy the tiny nation. Israel has fulfilled prophesy as outlined by the bible and she isn't done yet...

Brazil, for one.

Hello. Wonderful - another reason to like that country.

Peace

So, the press overcooked it?

G_d may have said that... but maybe there is something to the history of being chosen to carry G_d's word that made Satan angry.

Don't think so... but it is always another viewpoint.
