Antisemitism is fashionable again. Oh, it was never really out of fashion, but for a few decades after World War II, given what happened to Jews during that war, its expression was muted. But you can’t keep an demonic thing like antisemitism down; it has 99 lives, and can shapeshift to accommodate a wide variety of accusations and bigotries. In recent decades, antisemitism has received a great boost from the tens of millions of Muslims now living in the Western world, migrants who carried with them, undeclared in their mental baggage, a ferocious antisemitism that Islam naturally inculcates. In the West, those Muslims have disseminated that hate, convincing many of the young and the stupid, among the indigenes, to follow their lead. The Muslims and their wiling collaborators join forces, showing up for mass rallies in London, Paris, Berlin, and New York, where they together scream their hatred of Israel and of Jews. They chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which is a call for the destruction of the sole Jewish state and its replacement by a twenty-third Arab one. They yell about “apartheid” Israel, “colonial-settler” Israel, “genocidal” Israel, each charge more preposterous than the next. And they do not stop at denouncing Israel. They hate Israel because they hate Jews, and that hatred is no longer hidden. “Jews to the gas,” they have chanted at some of these anti-Israel rallies. Jews in Western Europe now wonder if they, or their children, have a future in countries where Muslims now greatly outnumber them.
The anxiety among Jews is perhaps most pronounced in Great Britain, where 500,000 Jews are outnumbered 10-1 by five million Muslims. And the Israel-Hamas war, following on the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, far from causing renewed sympathy for the embattled Jewish state, whose civilians were burned alive, beheaded, tortured, raped, and mutilated, has instead led to more support for Hamas, the terror group whose operatives committed those crimes. Close to half of British Jews now say they are thinking of emigrating, so great has their sense of insecurity become. More on this can be found here: “Half of British Jews ‘considering leaving the UK’ amid ‘staggering’ rise in anti-Semitism,” LBC, November 26, 2023:
A new survey by the Campaign Against Antisemitism is being released.
According to CAA officials, it shows that nearly half of British Jews are considering leaving the country because of the huge increase in antisemitism.
Binyomin Gilbert, engagement manager for the group, told LBC News that “we have seen a 1300% increase in anti-Semitism” since the October 7 pogrom.
The survey also shows that 69% of British Jews say they are less likely to show visible signs of their religion.
Moreover, “more than six in 10 British Jews have either personally experienced or have witnessed an antisemitic incident since October 7 or that they know somebody who has.”
The survey was carried out between 12th and 17th November 2023, with a total of 3,744 responses.
Gilbert continued, “This is not a situation that can continue. We have seen week after week central London become a no go zone for Jews….
Central London is where the gigantic anti-Israel and pro-Hamas marches have taken place, and where Jews had to tread very carefully, steering clear of those crowds, lest they be set upon. When 100,000 people are marching, and chanting their violent anti-Israel slogans, Jews don’t dare to express their own views. They don’t wear their kippahs or stars of David in public. They understand they have to simply stay well away.
Once again, the marches featured genocidal chants, Hamas headbands, antisemitic signs comparing Israel to Nazis and others caricaturing prominent minority politicians as coconuts, and the marchers who may not have engaged in these activities knowingly and readily marched alongside those who did. They are just as complicit….
Make no mistake: these marchers are proud to support Hamas. They don’t care that Hamas has beheaded babies, burned children alive, raped and tortured and murdered young girls, gouged out eyes, sliced off breasts (and used them in a game of catch), cut off genitalia, murdered parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents. None of that fazes them. Some are quite pleased that those wicked Israelis have been treated in this manner. Comparing Israelis to Nazis is obscene, but not to those who marched in serried ranks screaming their hatred of “the Israelis” and “the Jews” in the middle of London.
What do British people think? Would they be glad to see so many British Jews leave the country, where they have for many centuries been loyal, productive, and creative citizens, driven out by Muslim migrants who have been neither loyal, nor productive, nor creative citizens of the land where they batten on government benefits of every kind, regarded as a kind of proleptic “jizyah,” and openly declare their hope and expectation, through demographic conquest, to turn the U.K. into part of Dar al-Islam, where Islam everywhere dominates, and Muslims rule, everywhere? Is that the future the British feel helpless to prevent, or will they come to their senses in time,, and do the following: first, put a stop to any further Muslim immigration; second, deport all migrants who are in the country illegally; third, deport all Muslims convicted of crimes after they have served their sentences; fourth, halt all welfare benefits to migrants during the first five years of their presence in the U.K.? Such measures will certainly discourage Muslim economic migrants from heading to Great Britain. And that turn-around in their numbers should reassure British Jews who, god knows, both need and deserve such reassurance.

Not surprised. I went out in London with two Jewish friends this week. They whispered and talked in code about the current situation in Israel in case anyone overheard – in other words, hiding their (totally reasonable) views and the fact that they were Jewish.
Please publish without my name to protect their identities – would never think I would have to say that.

The Canadians said it.. One is too many
Once can only hope that after the Jews FLEE, not leave, these majestic isles… that the rest of the population will be subject to what they have been allowing covertly.
Can you image Britain the newest land of the ummah… and clitorectomy now the mark of the fairest damsel coming of age.
This Jew looks on England and admires her for concealing her ant-semitism longer enough to import and nourish the cancer which will surely kill her.
Let us all sing now, this last night of the proms, as the dark descends upon England
Britains always loyally declaim
About about the way we rule the waves
Now let’s talk about the new Great Britain
Full of halal eating knaves
Guard your girls, and your boys
The halal is not for those for types
And ravage flower …of dear England
From the walls of mosques will soon be hung
If she resist
And Ahmed cannot resist
Strike her breast through
Wonderful for those joining the ummah anew
Sorry for the doggerel
MOre sorry for my fellow Jews
I’ll get back to you about England and the English later
After prayers

They are right. I think that practicing Jews and Hindus (not referring to the Gandhian islamophilic HINOs here) should consider packing up & moving to Israel, India or other countries where muslims are not allowed to get away so brazenly w/ such jihadist behavior
mgoldberg says
As an American, as a Jew, I don’t think abandoning our nations to these Jihadists makes much sense.
Brit Jews should fight the fight that they will have to fight in Israel, except of course they have to be somewhat on the outside, as Jihadists pit all other tribes against each other as they destroy the fundaments of the nations they are trying to subjugate. The 21st century will have this new fight that will either eviserate the west or revive it.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
America is nowhere like that as yet, but some countries, like Britain, are too far gone. Other countries can take their lessons from Britain and undertake countermeasures to undo whatever damage they’ve undergone already – I think countries like Netherlands, France, Germany, Australia might be salvageable. But there are some that are way beyond repair, & those are worth abandoning
mgoldberg says
I confess it difficult to imagine britannia so far gone that they’d just bend over and let a thousand yrs of magna carta just slips into oblivion. Hopefully they might yet wake up and
shout back at the tyranny beginning to boil over and reclaim their laws, their institutions, their spirit and their rights as people who once had a history that gave them spines.
Maybe someone will just start them reading Winston Churchill and they’ll remember what they were capable of being and doing.

Unfortunately Jewsish people are targeted now, but the evil Islam targets rest of the non-Islamic world. It is time that rest of the faiths forget the differences and join hand again the common enemy of mankind-Islam.
Ray Jarman says
In the statement, “they have for many centuries been loyal, productive, and creative citizens,” I am reminded of a very touching story about a Jewish person in 15th century on the old Robin Hood program. The Jewish fellow talked about Jewish philosophy. It was a very interesting and delightful portrayal of the man. Maybe programs like this could let the modern British see the wonderful benefits from the Jewish community.
James Lincoln says
So, let’s see, in the UK:
High IQ Jews will be leaving.
Low IQ Muslims will be staying and – reproducing like rabbits.
What could possibly go wrong?
Daniel Bielak says
Muslims in European countries have surely promulgated genocidal anti-Jewish bigotry among indigenous Europeans, and Islam has been a major source of that bigotry among Muslims. However, the Western mainstream news media’s coverage of Israel with verbal and visual lies of omission and commission which vilify Israel and whitewash and glorify Fatah / PLO / PA, Hamas, and the millions of “Palestinian” Arabs who have been systematically indoctrinated with hate toward Israel and the Jewish people, has been the most influential factor in propagating genocidal anti-Jewish bigotry throughout the Western world.
All prominent Western news media.
And the CIA.
And every U.S. Executive administration, with the exception of Donald Trump’s.
And Western academia.
Western anti-Jewish bigotry is widely held among Western elites and it’s most influentially propagated by Western elites, and it must be dispelled by Westerners by learning and teaching the true factual history of Israel and the Islamic, Arab, and Western military, terroristic, diplomatic, and propagandic war on Israel and the Jewish people.

Jews claim they had a continuous presence in the holy Land since the time of abraham so are these British Jews or any jew moving to Israel asked to prove they are descendant of the Jews that lived there 2000 yrs ago. We all know no such rules exist. Recently i have seen this argument being peddled by some leftist. How can we counter these argument?

Will this is going on the Church of England is ripping itself apart by the controversy of allowing their ministers to be practicing homosexuals. Britain has lost its Cristian compass. Britain has lost its soul.

“When 100,000 people are marching, and chanting their violent anti-Israel slogans, Jews don’t dare to express their own views.”
Well, the first instance of Muslims marching like this in Britain was in 1989 with the fatwa against Salman Rushdie. As far as I know, there was no one marching in his favor. That was a big mistake. From the perspective of Muslims, it was like a green light for them to continue marching and calling for people to be killed.
Rufolino says
The generation being born in the UK today will be the generation that submits to Islam, ending 1000 years of probably the greatest civilisation in the world, in favour of barbarism.
