Antisemitism isn't just back, it's mainstream. Europe is no longer slipping into darkness. It’s racing. We were told 1945 changed things. That the world saw the gas chambers, the mass graves, the numbers carved into skin and vowed, “Never Again.” But today, in 2025, Jews are once again hiding mezuzahs, fearing kippahs, scrubbing swastikas off their doors and wondering if their future lies anywhere but Europe.
This isn’t about fringe neo-Nazis. This is about students, unions, journalists, feminist groups, “human rights” activists, and politicians. It’s about marches that claim to stand for freedom but bar Jewish women from joining. It’s about universities where “Zionist” students are assaulted and excluded. It’s about mobs tracking down Jews in Amsterdam and beating them in the streets. It’s about rapes, arson, assaults, graffiti, threats, vandalism, silence and applause.
And don’t you dare say this is “just about Israel.” Tell that to the 12-year-old Jewish girl gang raped in France. Tell that to the rabbi whose house was defaced with threats to “send him to the gas chamber.” Tell that to the Jewish kids on school buses being pelted with rocks. This isn’t resistance. This isn’t anti-colonialism. This is pogrom energy. With Wi-Fi.
The left has betrayed the Jewish people. So has the liberal West. When your “anti-racist” cause makes excuses for the rape of Israeli women, when your “freedom” slogans include Hamas talking points, when you march side by side with those chanting “from the river to the sea,” you are not fighting injustice. You are reenacting it.
Israel now sees what’s happening. Jews around the world see it too. And no amount of gaslighting or performative outrage can change what’s visible in the streets of Paris, Berlin, London, and Dublin: The Jews are being told again that they don’t belong.
We will not be silent. We will not bow. And we will not let history repeat itself without a fight this time.
Not my words. But extremely powerful and representative of how most British Jews feel.
