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....

“For years I clung to the belief that, despite the rise in hostility to the Jewish community, we could still build lives here.”
Normalcy bias is powerful.
DEI Expert, One of the ‘Top 50 Influential Muslims,’ Explains Why Jews Can Be Killed in Synagogues
After the latest Muslim terrorist attack on Jews, in this case attending a synagogue on Yom Kippur in the UK, Sabreena Ghaffar-Siddiqui , a DEI expert affiliated with Rutgers, who had been named as one of “Top 50 Influential Muslims” and who is “directing one of Canada’s largest government-funded” DEI initiatives at Canada’s colleges decided to open up the Overton Window a bit more by explaining why Muslims have the right to murder Jews praying in synagogues.
“If a pro-Israel Zionist synagogue in the U.K was attacked because of the genocide in Palestine then we shouldn’t be surprised or horrified,” Ghaffar-Siddiqui tweeted. “Firstly, synagogues have been found to not be some benign neutral places of worship. They are known to be used to not only indoctrinate Zionist ideology into young Jews.”
It's the women who are the most vicious (see Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, et al).
“For years I clung to the belief that, despite the rise in hostility to the Jewish community, we could still build lives here. “
Man, talk about same old same old from the get-go…
Bad governments treat symptoms not the cause.
Jihad M. Jihad.
Jewish Lives Matter. But if you’re in the UK, you might want to be careful where you say it. It might “upset” someone.
She has no covering. She deserves to be assaulted.
The author doesn’t even recognize (or at least acknowledge) WHY the UK and the rest of the world is anti-semetic... It’s because of Jews.
Jews OVERWHELMINGLY support leftist causes and organizations. They can thank themselves. They are overwhelmingly a bunch of Soroses.
Come on. It isn’t just the Jews. The government hates everybody white and European.
...even now, when they (Jews) are being assaulted and killed all over the world, they still lock-step vote and support the political groups causing the violence against them.
Hell, in the US, there’s PLENTY of anti-Israel/Pro-palestine Jews.
It’s mind-numbing dumb.
You make good points. But most Leftists cannot connect the dots.
> Jews OVERWHELMINGLY support leftist causes and organizations. They can thank themselves. <
What? Are you saying if Jews all voted conservative, there’d be no antisemitism?
The misplaced voting patterns of many Jews make it easier for leftist politicians to gain power. Those politicians do little to rein in antisemitic criminals. But that voting doesn’t cause the antisemitism in the first place.
“Normalcy bias is powerful.”
My great grandparents stayed in their suburb outside Danzig all the way until April 1945 when the Soviets said “Get out.” They walked back to Germany at age 80. And they were Christian.
UK-istan. Where is the person moving to?
It’s a wonder more Jews don’t apply to move to Israel but rather stay where they are.
I’d be out and letting God’s judgment rain down on them.
I wouldn’t have a Mezuzah on my door if I lived in London
