Leftists Go Jew-Hunting in Britain
PJ Media ^ | 17 Feb 2026 | Aaron Hanscom

When President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Robert Garson, floated the idea of asylum for Britain’s Jews last month, saying “the UK is no longer a safe place for Jews,” a natural response was to focus on the likelihood of more terrorist attacks against Jews by radical Muslims. This concern is warranted, as we were reminded last week after the conviction of two men for plotting to murder hundreds of Jews in an Islamic State-inspired attack in Manchester. Sky News contributor Sophie Elsworth, in a segment on the convictions, echoed Garson’s words, saying that the rise of antisemitism in the UK is “incredibly frightening.”

Unfortunately, it’s not just ISIS and Al-Qaeda that British Jews need to fear. The populist left is engaging in its own form of Jew-hunting. Consider what happened to Jewish comedian Matt Lucas this month. He was harassed by a leftist activist while on an escalator at a Tube station. A man filming a video that he later posted on social media greeted him with the words: “Free Palestine. Free Palestine, Matt Lucas. Free Palestine.” Jewish News reports what happened next:

At the top of the escalator, Lucas says: “Hi, how are you,” to the person filming, “You don’t like what I’m wearing,” the person filming says, with the Little Britain and Great British Bake Off star responding, “no, I have no comment about it either way.” The individual filming continues to follow Lucas, asking him: “You have a problem with Palestinians?” Lucas responds: “No”, before attempting to push the phone away from his face. The individual filming says “you can’t do that, you can’t touch my stuff,” before muttering “Zionist.”

The attempt at intimidation is evident in the video...

Britain always hated Jews - going back to 1917 when they defeated the Turks who held what was then called Palestine. When Israel got their state back, the Brits turn over all their armaments to the Arabs. We still defeated them, all five nations.

I have to laugh when ever I hear the term ‘’Elite Arab Army.’’

I tell my wife “That means they have shoes.’’

The UK, which has become very welcoming to Muslims, doesn’t care about Jews.

That is precisely when you should tell someone something - when they don’t know!

My Gawd there are so many both nonfiction and fictionalized that it's hard to know where to start.

I've read a couple but can't remember the titles. Best bet would be to run a search on the topic.

Shalom.

Britain always hated Jews - going back to 1917 when they announced the Balfour Declaration.
