Debbie Schussel?.
Honestly.......dear me. Come back to me with a credible source and we will talk, the woman is a f*cking loony tune.

Yes. Debbie Schlussel. She has her shortcomings. Her awareness of the twin dangers of Islam and anti-Semitism are nearly impeccable.
By the way, I note your argument is ad hominem.
Guess I won. ;-)
grammar correction: “. . . *is nearly impeccable.”
My apologies.
Debbie Schussel is American. Has never lived in the UK. Are you for real suggesting she knows what UK Jews live like?. By that ‘logic’, any American with red hair is an expert on Scotland and Ireland!. What a ridiculous argument.
Schussel is a loony tune. She makes Coulter look like Thomas Jefferson. You cannot credibly suggest her as a serious source. This is the woman who claims Clint Eastwood hates America because he made Flags of Our Fathers. Seriously, look it up.
As for her list, and your example:
‘They seemed to relish in sending Jews back to Hitler-controlled Europe, to be murdered in the Holocaust. While in Palestine, the British soldiers often made anti-Semitic trinkets and dolls to mock the Jews.”’
....that is an absolute f*cking lie. An absolute lie. British soldiers did no such thing. A vile slander on men who are no longer alive to refute such crap. So not only is she a loony, she is a nasty piece of crap who spews lies about the army who fought longest than anyone to defeat the Nazis and save Europe and the Jews, inc liberating Belsen.
I like Melanie Phillips, and she at least IS British. So unlike Debbie Schittmouth, she actually knows what she is talking about. And you note that she herself points out that any UK antisemitism today is not religious or cultural, but political, and aimed at the state, not the people, religion or culture.
Oh, btw, did you actually read the comments section on her link?. One poster who is Jewish and has lived in both the US and UK states openly that they found the US much more antisemitic!. Oh, the irony.
‘And what do you say about MP Mercer? That he really is a great friend of the Jews, too?’
No, he is an idiot. And I am appalled and embarrassed at this clown and his comments. And he should be hung out to dry for them. I also think Britain and the 60m people who live here shouldnt be slandered as antisemites because of ONE idiot.
I dont ‘protest too much’. UK antisemitism (or more to the point England, as Scotland Wales and NI have no history of it) is minor, both historically and now. Contrary to US myth and hype (and the US is in no position to lecture frankly). What antisemitism has existed has historically been confined elements of the upper class OR to the worst knuckle dragging elements of the working class. Britain rejected fascism and antisemitism in the 30’s and it continues to do so now with the BNP. And England has had a very small amount of antisemitism
When your country was declaring a black person to be less than a human being (Dred Scott), Britain was about to elect a Jewish Prime Minister. Britain has had many prominent Jewish politicians. Where oh where is America’s Jewish President?. VP?. 35 after we elected Thatcher, you cant even elect a woman, let alone a Jew.
Most UK ‘antisemitism’ is aimed at Israel and the palestine issue, and many would argue is not antisemitism and such a word is used as a cheap tactic.
Britain is no more an antisemitic nation than the US, and the assertion on FR that it is an antisemitic nation is one vile little slander I will NOT let pass.
‘I believe know the score, dude. Do you?’
More than you. I actually live here. I know my country better than you or anyone here ever will.

You gave up the game with that gem, I am afraid.
I get it: Brits are not anti-Semitic, just rabidly anti-Zionist . . . Oh, and pro-Palestinian (read pro-Muslim).
Actually most Brits couldnt care less about the Isr vs Pal issue. Most are sick of it after decades of it every night on the TV news.
