US considering asylum for British Jews
The Telegraph ^ | 18 January 2026 6:00pm GMT | Robert Mendick

The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to Britain’s Jews, The Telegraph can reveal.

Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he had been in talks with the State Department about providing sanctuary for Jews fleeing anti-Semitism in the UK.

Mr Garson, who was born in Manchester, told The Telegraph that the UK was “no longer a safe place for Jews”.

He said the Islamist attack on a Manchester synagogue and the widespread anti-Semitism evident in the wake of the Oct 7 Hamas attack on Israel had led him to conclude British Jews should be offered refuge in the US.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Mr Garson said he could see “no future” for Jews in the UK and laid much of the blame on Sir Keir Starmer for allowing anti-Semitism to flourish.

Mr Garson said he had raised the idea of offering the US as a safe haven to British Jews with Mr Trump’s anti-Semitism tsar in his capacity as a board member of the US Holocaust Memorial Council. Mr Trump appointed Mr Garson to the council last May after firing board members appointed by Joe Biden.

Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, based in Florida, took up office as the president’s special envoy combating anti-Semitism in December. He works out of the State Department at the level of an ambassador.

Mr Trump had hired Mr Garson, 49, to bring a $50m (£37m) legal claim against Bob Woodward, the investigative journalist.

Donald Trump Jr, Mr Trump’s son, has also engaged Mr Garson as his lawyer for his literary business, Winning Team Publishing, which has published prominent conservative writers as well as books by the president and Charlie Kirk, the assassinated Right-wing activist.

Mr Garson, a former London-based barrister who moved to the US in 2008, said: “The UK is no...

British Jews are more liberal than NYC Jews and hate Trump with a burning passion.

RE: US considering asylum for British Jews

Why not work with Israel for them to go to their homeland like the other WW 2 Jews did?

Import more Democrats? No, thanks.

Make an arrangement with Israel to take them. Israel could use the population bump anyway.

I’m thinking pretty much any white person in Britain should qualify at this point.

As long as they live in New York City or Los Angeles, it won't matter that much due to the Electoral College.

Just don’t send them to NYC. Mamdani might not like it.

Yes, British Jews should go to Israel. The following was taken from https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/new-polling-of-jewish-community-shows-antisemitism-fears-have-risen/

“The JPR survey also shows that emotional attachment to Israel has increased – 75% of British Jews feel emotionally attached, with 49% “very attached” – the equivalent figures just before the October 7 attacks were 72% and 40%. Likewise, 45% now say ‘Support for Israel’ is “very important” to their Jewish identity, up from 38% in 2022. However, while Zionist identification remains stable, with just under two-thirds specifically identifying as Zionist, explicitly anti-Zionist identification has risen from 8% in 2022 to 12% in 2025. Most notably, just under a quarter of 20-29 old respondents specifically identified as anti-Zionist, with a further 20% identifying themselves as non-Zionist.”

White people are 7% of the world’s population.

We ARE the minority.

Everyone’s a victim except white people that are regularly raped, robbed, beaten, displaced, and genocided.

Why aren’t they going to Israel? British Jews are Bolsheviks.

They should be forced to live in the country they destroyed.

Here's an endless scroll for the ignorant:

By Israeli law, can’t they just go there?

That would certainly embarrass Starmer.
