"Great way to win friends and influence people... making stereotypical comments. Moron."Do pay attention: the British have ALWAYS been anti-semitic: it goes back at least to the time of Shakespeare.
And who do you think the Israelis won their independence from in 1948?
(Using terrorist tactics, btw)
The Brits have never forgotten THAT loss either.

It's much older than Shakespeare - remember Ivanhoe? (Fiction, I know.)

Shakespeare certainly knew he could count on a lack of public outrage when he created his caricatured Shylock character in “The Merchant of Venice.” He knew enough not to alienate his audiences because he made money on performances of his plays, and still did this.

Yes, and according to many in Israel, the polish are just as bad as the NAZI's as well. Sure, a few worked with the Germans, but most did not. Labeling an entire country and people, because of the actions of a minority is repugnant.
I'm starting to think there are many in Israel who are very bigoted... and they use "anti-semitism" as the smear tactic of choice. Sadly, bigotry seems to be universal even among self described victims of such.

Jews were expelled from England in 1290 by Edward I, after two centuries of antisemitic violence. In 1144, there was the first European Blood Libel with the case of William of Norwich.
