'We’re leaving Britain - Jews aren’t safe here any more’

The Daily Telegraph ^ | 06 Feb 2015 | Angela Epstein

Simon and Honey Gould, married for more than 20 years and with two children, live a seemingly peaceful life in their handsome five-bedroom house in a quiet British suburb. Simon, 52, is a successful businessman running his own property company. Honey, 49, has pursued a career in marketing, while also raising son Arron, now 18, and daughter Angel, 16. Their wide circle of friends, close family and other relatives lives nearby. Yet this summer the Goulds will leave everything behind – their north Manchester home filled with memories, their lovely, rambling garden, their busy social life – and leave the UK for good.

Very sad. I don't think the UK is at Krystalnacht stage and I don't think it will ever get there. But I think the future is like that of Jews in France, they can live there without any legal or political impairment and it will still be materially comfortable, but it will be a life lived behind security fences, 24-hour CCTV, armed guards, gated communities and fear of expressing their own identity. No life at all in other words.

I’ll bet they’ll charge them an exit fee.

Ezekiel 20:34 - “I will bring you from the nations and gather you from the countries where you have been scattered — with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath.”

[Gay State Conservative]

Where can they go? Certainly not France,Sweden or Belgium.Don't know about Spain or Italy.Of course they could go to Israel and they could come here if they swam to Rio Grande and claimed to speak Spanish.

Now her own daughter will also be uprooted. But Angel, a thoughtful and circumspect teenager, is in favour of the move. “Of course it will be hard, but there’s always Facebook to keep in touch,” she observes. “I’m looking at the bigger picture, how things are changing. I want to live in a place where I won’t be judged by my religion, where I can hold my head up high.”

Arron, meanwhile, has already taken a place to study political science at the University of California, Berkeley.

I’m afraid they will be disappointed to find they have only bought themselves a small amount of time.

'It’s time to leave when you are no longer free to sit on a park bench’. I think that time is fast approaching. I’m leaving before I’m told that I have to go.”

I wish them well in Arizona. Unfortunately, based on reading the article, I think they will only add to the liberal MESS of things.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I sent the article to a friend of mine in England (a native) to get his opinion.

[laplata]

They are moving to Arizona.

I hope they’re conservative.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Nowadays, where are Jews safe?

Good to see you, Mick!

[cynwoody]

they could come here if they swam to Rio Grande and claimed to speak Spanish.

Did you read the article?

The river is named EB-5, not Rio Grande. He's even put up a website offering free swimming lessons.

These are the right kind of immigrants — the ones who come here legally and turn into useful citizens.

[wjcsux]

Just like Germany in 1937.

[pallis]

For the pleasure of importing Muslims, Britain will lose a prosperous, productive Jewish family. It’s a foolish trade.

[2ndDivisionVet]

We should carve out a Jewish area near the Mexican border and kill two birds with one stone.

[fatman6502002]

The article said they are immigrating to the US, Arizona to be exact. Welcome to America, these are the kind of hard working, industrious people we want to immigrate to the US. The article said the husband is a real estate entrepreneur and the wife works in marketing. I would suspect they will be opening their own business, or at least he probably will and in the end probably create jobs. Either way they are not coming here to welch off the taxpayer. And before any scumbag progressive claims that I welcome them because their skin is white, let me state unequivocally that I would welcome immigrants from any country, of any race who are law abiding and want to come here to actually work and start their own business, etc...etc... It is behavior, not skin color upon which I make my judgement about who is welcome to immigrate to the US.

[right way right]

I would go to Israel if I was Jewish.
I may just go as an adopted Jew at some point.

[fatman6502002]

Please explain that comment. I am not understanding it.

[Organic Panic]

Heck.

I’m a white Christian male. I’d move to Israel and set up my business there if I was ever invited. Under Obama the USA has turned in to a caudillo run corrupt cesspool. Israel has some hope for business and it doesn’t hurt being surrounded by a grateful, happy, successful, prosperous, and proud people. I have no problem being a minority in such a country as Israel.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is Islamophobia. Just ask the Musloid terrorist organization CAIR. They’ll tell you.

[2ndDivisionVet]

If there was a buffer of armed kibbutzim between cities and the border, perhaps it’d be harder for illegals to get here?

[PotatoHeadMick]

Well I suppose the US for all its faults is still a haven.

I just realised that the description of life in modern western societies for Jews that I described; materially well-off but restricted to their own closed-off community, the protection of which they must pay for themselves, where they are free to express their Jewish identity but outside of which they must keep their heads down and not upset the locals brought to mind a very obvious image.

They are recreating the medieval Jewish ghettos in modern European cities.
