Utter rubbish.

Firstly, the British have not ‘always hated Jews’. There is NO history of antisemitism in Scotland, Wales or NI. And English antisemitism historically has been much, much less than mainland Europe. Modern anti-semitism has been confined to an upper class group in the 1930’s (the Cliveden Set) and a tiny minority of working class white far-right groups (like Mosley’s British Fascists of the 1930’s, and the BNP today). As well of course as a minority of Islamic extremists.

The British did reject and have continued to reject the anti-semitism that gripped Europe for a generation. The British simply have never cared (bar a minority) about people’s Jewishness. In fact, the tenets of Judaism and Jewish life (education, respect for law and order, hard work, morality) are greatly admired. The newest primetime documentary on British TV this week, which will be watched by about 10-15m people, is about the Jewish community of Manchester.

Some of Britain’s most admired and much beloved businessmen, entertainers, politicians over the years and now are openly Jewish. And some of our most iconic companies (Marks and Spencer’s, Odeon Cinemas, Burton’s) are Jewish.

Britain has had a Jewish Prime Minister, in fact the current PM has Jewish blood, and so many prominent Jewish
politicians over the years, I dont have the space to write them all. Where’s the American Jewish President btw?. You cant even elect a white anglo-saxon woman!.

I undertstand you are angry about this story, but to claim that Britain and the British people are anti-semitic is utterly wrong. Your ignorance of history and British history is utterly wrong.

Secondly, you are again so wrong about ‘Britain not letting Jews in’ its laughable. Everyone knows that Britain took in tens of thousands of German Jewish refugees in the 1930’s. 100000 to be exact. More than America, btw. So you are ignorant not once, but twice.

Lastly, to suggest we ‘let Hitler kill the Jews’ is so pathetic I almost think you are being funny. Where was America in 1939, 1940 and 1941?. Who fought Hitler and the Nazis the longest?. Who fought them alone when no-one else would?. Who took in more Jews than America?.

We British were the only people brave enough to stand up to the Nazis and the Italian fascists, whilst America cowered 3000 miles across the ocean.

And you have the ignorance and nerve to attack us?.

Fine. The BBC hates Jews and hates Israel. BBC has a large number of Muslims on staff when it comes to Asian and Mid East news. How many Jews work at the BBC Mid East news departments? Chis Hitchens found improvised Muslim prayer rooms at BBC London

You have a huge liudmouth leftist establishment in the UK. In England at least, that hates Israel and is always trying to sneak in academic boycotts of Israel and boycotts of Israeli products

But, as you say, the British people are not anti-Semitic

Disraeli was born a Jew, but was baptised a Christian and was an Anglican all his life. When it came to nut-crunching time, the Brits left the Continental Jews at the mercy of Hitler and his national Socialists.

Churchill was very pro-Jew, but many in his own party were not....part of the reason Churchill was "in the wilderness" in the mid-30s regarding Hitler.
