@EasternStandard thank you . However as a British Jew I can tell you first hand the following :
In the 1970s when I grew up there was no antisemitism that I experienced . I went to a state school with people of all races and religions and had friends everywhere . I felt wanted , welcomed , equal and as if my religion didn’t matter , it was part of me but not the thing that defined me , identified me and certainly not the thing that put me at risk , made me fearful or was something to hide .
This slowly but palpably eroded over the years from about 2000 onwards .
At work I experienced pure antisemitism from a client - needless to say I declined further work from her . My daughter was attacked physically walking home from a Friday night Shabbat meal in our local area . And now this . My son in laws friend attacked and stabbed for no reason other than that he was a Jew praying in synagogue .
Most Jews - and I do mean most - are planning - however far in the future or however vaguely - a way out now from Britain . We understand certainly that there’s no future for our children here , if not for ourselves .
As a child my one insecurity was the holocaust . I was born in 1968 which was just over 20 years since the holocaust . I used to ask my father from a young age - I don’t remember exactly when - but it would have been about 9 or 10 - to confirm that if things ever got bad here we’d leave at the first opportunity. He always reassured me that we would even though in around 1978 this was a very safe time for us Jews here and there was nothing to worry about .
we discussed what the signs were that we’d leave and what those factors would be . And now I have that responsibility to my elderly mother and my children . To never ever ever make the same mistake of complacency and thinking this will never happen again . It’s true that the anti Semitism isn’t coming from the government - yet - but the way things are going here with a less and less supportive and more and more hostile environment around us it’s not prudent to wait .
