For years I clung to the belief that, despite the rise in hostility to the Jewish community, we could still build lives here. I had watched from abroad during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party from 2015 to 2020, when Jew-hate poisoned the party and seeped into wider politics. Yet, despite my deep disappointment, I still believed in this country enough to move back from Hong Kong in 2022. I wanted to believe the Jewish story here still had a future, and I was determined to be a part of it.
October 7, 2023, changed everything. Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, and instead of residents recoiling in horror, Britain’s streets filled with marches that celebrated it. Even after two Jews were massacred in Manchester yesterday, on Yom Kippur, the marches continued.
Jew-hatred has become mainstream here. It has been excused by leaders. It has been embedded in a culture where terrorism is justified and Jewish suffering denied. You see it in the tearing down of hostage posters across Britain’s cities, a painful message that Jewish lives do not matter. You can see it in the way Jew-hatred and violence are always paired with condemnations of “Islamophobia.” You can see it in a justice system that treats public displays of Judaism as a threat to public safety, rather than the Islamists who cause the danger. You can see it in placards calling for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state and for the genocide of Jews, and in crowds carrying the flags of proscribed terror organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah. These are not, and have never been, pro-Palestinian marches. They are, at their very core, anti-Jewish. They are about stigmatizing Jews as perpetrators of mass murder....

Excerpt doesn't say. But I'm guessing - Israel???
Regards,
Not this Jew, but I get the point. They have to realize, the left is in league with our killers.
Yep
Revoke her visa.
Israel does not have Oxford and Cambridge.
Once Comrade Mandani gets elected, they will not be welcome in NYC either. Good thing they vote democrat.
Israel ain’t exactly the calmest place in the world either. The US? Maybe but not just anywhere. Certainly not Dearborn or Minneapolis.
Such a sad story. Hopefully they made it home.
Home?
But what if their ancestors had been living in the area since the Middle Ages, as most Germans in that region had done?
Me, either.
It is. The German diaspora from the east back to Germany numbered 12 to 15 million from 1945 to 1950., but over a half million died on the trek west due to starvation, rape, and murder.
My great grandfather’s wife had predeceased him in the late 1930s. He and his sister walked back to their ancestral home in Süchteln, German near the Rhine River north of Cologne. His sister, I believe, died on the trek home.
I believe my gr-grandfather took his wife with him when they moved to the east (Danzig) from Cologne. My grandfather married a Danzig native (my Oma), so it was a blended western European and eastern European marriage. Opa and Oma moved their young family to NYC in 1927 (after the Weimar hyper-inflation and the open warfare in the streets mainly in Berlin). My dad was the youngest of three and he was 3 years hold when they arrived in October 1927. And that, my FRiend, is how I happened to be born in the USA.
Where else is there to go?! The fortunate ones are those who can afford to go.
Well said.
It might be difficult for all these people to flourish in Israel. While the West has decided to commit their version of national suicide, there are other parts of the world. Countries that have experience in dealing with Islamic imperialism will be more realistic about the threat.
So we have India, Thailand and the Philippines as possibilities. Also parts of Eastern Europe and Hungary. There might be other choices.
With 129 Nobel Prizes to their names, the Jews can recreate a goodly portion of the functional part of the Ivies or other top Universities where ever they go. We are simply moving the talent to a part of the world where they can flourish.
Perhaps some consortium of universities in the American South or Midwest can publicly insist on tolerance and freedom for Jews, Christians and conservatives. They could reap major benefits.
Maybe they think that it would lessen the impact of their complaint and/or diminish the urgency of the problem, since people could then simply retort by saying, "Well: Buh-bye!"
Complainers (and don't get me wrong: Conservative complainers are, as a rule, quite justified in their complaints) should either simply pull up stakes and leave, while thumbing their noses at the remainers - or stand and fight.
Framing any given problem as though there were a "Promised Land" where that problem doesn't exist is intellectually underhanded.
Regards,
Completely agree, good point.
