Jews leaving the UK

[Ihatetomatoes]

I dont blame them. I would if I were Jewish.

They have been failed by their country, which is the UK. I wish them well and hope the UK can sort its anti semitism problems so it becomes safe for Jewish people again.

It's not Jewish people that the these protesters all over the world from all backgrounds and walks of life have a problem with... It's the Israeli regime. Plenty of Jewish organisations take part too. Ooh and let's not forget the ever-growing community of refuseniks within Israel itself... Are they self-hating Jews? Give me a break!

Absolutely.

If I was Jewish I’d be terrified. The anti Semitism is particularly rife amongst ‘well educated’ (sic), middle class bien pensant types - I think predominantly left wing. It is absolutely chilling. Many of these types will be parroting ‘diversity is our strength’ but this diversity clearly does not apply to Jews.

What, exactly?

Neither are "Israeli" and "Jewish".

What an absolute travesty for our country. We have never ever had an issue with Jewish people here. They’ve actually contributed a lot to our society and the British were highly responsible for ending the 2nd WW which saw the murder of millions of Jews.

They are being run out of town by the far left and by a group of people who have imported their hatred and intolerable views here.

It’s a disgrace.

You don’t mention the far-right. Why?

Could you explain the difference please?

I feel sick reading some of these posts. Jewish people should feel safe and Israel has a right to exist - as does Palestine.

You sound rather fascist yourself in how you talk about a land "belonging" to an presumed indigenous group

Jewish people were living harmoniously with Muslims and Christian’s in Palestine before 1948. Do you know how badly Christians are treated in Palestine by Israelis ?

I really think you should take a few minutes to try and see the other perspective... What you are saying comes across as very antisemitic

I'm super confused by the left-wing hating Zionism crowd. They can't actually want Hamas to be in charge right? Surely the left-wing feminist, trans rights, inclusive etc etc etc. concepts are inherently and irrevocably opposed to Hamas and all their horrible friends? When people say 'free Palestine' I genuinely think they have the wrong oppressors in mind.

I am not a monster, I do not think dead babies are acceptable (on either side), but Hamas came rampaging over a border and raped and murdered and thought... what would happen next exactly? Are the Israelis supposed to meekly march off into the sea so Hamas and the Taliban and Islamic Republic and all those monsters can run the entire region? I just can't work out what people actually picture if Israel gives in and all the Jews march away (or go die of course which is actually what Hamas wants).

I hate everything about this but I have no idea where to go from here - what option are there? Another regime propped up by the UK or US or UN or whatever? cause that worked so well in Afghanistan...

I agree that anti-semitism and anti-israeli aren't the same thing, but unfortunately a large number of people are unable to see the difference and believe all Jews are deserving of punishment because of the actions of the Israeli government.

The fact is that Anti-semitism is on the rise.

I feel sick reading some of these posts.

What is anti Semitic ? Did you know Palestinians are Semite people….

As far back as the Old Testament Israel is mentioned as the home of Jews. How many times is Palestine mentioned in the bible? Zero.

And Zionism is the belief that Jews should have a homeland. There's 53 Muslim countries. Don't Jews deserve one?

What about October 8th, 9th , 10th and so on

I only know three Jewish people in the UK, and they have all left. Two to Israel and one to the US. Same extended family. And they have deep roots in the Manchester area, yet feel safer abroad. It's so sad, and I feel deeply for any Jewish person who feels unsafe in the UK. It's not right that they are made to feel that way. 😡

You’re really comparing moving to Israel with joining ISIS?
And how do you even know whether or not they’re supporting the current Israeli government?

Why is it that if Muslim people say they'll leave due to mosques being attacked the racist rhetoric is 'go on back then and see if it's better' but if Jewish people say it everyone is aghast that we've driven them out

Deeply antisemitic but I bet they think they’re a good guy.
