Why are Jewish people facing persecution in the UK?

[Villanousvillans]

I don’t understand why Jewish people are being persecuted in this country. What is wrong with people?

No one is putting murders 'in context', fgs. Read the OPs question. Why are these attacks happening?

“People on here are trying to find clarity” Are they really?
Or are they looking for a way to blame Israel for the attacks on British Jews?

The attacks are happening because extremists in the left wing are obsessed with the evils committed by Israel and have fuelled anti semitism here in Britain with their anti Zionist rhetoric.

Because of longstanding antisemitism in Islam and the far left. Antisemitism is also the reason for the 7 Oct terror attack that started the war - Hamas' mandate that Israel and the Jewish people be destroyed.

This is the sort of thing that has demonstrates how widespread and normalised antisemitism has become

The real issue is that being supportive of Israel, or any other state, or any other political opinion, or any other opinion, is not a reason to be murdered.

Its pretty fundamental to hold onto that value rather than get dragged into the violent man's mentality by arguing whether or not you hold the view that makes them want to kill or hurt people.

Well you seemed to think its because random citizens are paying the price for BN crimes, and because Israel has been left unchecked for too long. That was the post you agreed with.

Rather than because antisemitism is on the rise again, like it has been many times in the past thousands of years, and once again the reason is because of other Jews.

Gosh it's almost like you think on some level Israel is to blame for antisemitic crimes. Rather than the antisemites themselves.

Every single generation of antisemites think they've found the one true reason for vilifying Jewish people. Its as old as the hills.

Only question left in my mind is why its socially acceptable?

Do you have comprehension difficulties? Or maybe you don't understand what the word context means?

Asking ' why are the attacks happening' means putting them in the context of what it happening. Rather obviously. And people throughout this thread have been very explicitly putting them in the context of the ME conflict. As in the example I gave in the post you have quoted here.

The only context is the racism of the people doing the murdering. But remarkable few on this thread seem interested in that, preferring to focus on the ' context' of the ethnic group that are being attacked. And that's anti-Semitism in action.

Tbh I think this thread illustrates how widespread and normalised anti-Semitism has become.

Though that exhibition is wildly anti-Semitic and completely vile.

Ironically the thread has unknowingly done exactly what it was intended to do- showed why Jewish people are persecuted in the uk.

It's a fucking disgrace.

It really has and it really is.

I actually missed this one.

Benjamin Netanyahu is actually the one manipulating antisemitic people to go out and attack Jewish people? And hes such an evil sorry manipulative genius that hes able to do this without anyone (apart from you of course) actually realizing he's the one behind it all? So its all a massive false flag operation ?

Did I get that right?

Everything that is bad, has been created by Jews secretly working manipulatively behind the scenes to create it.

That is the anti-Semitic trope that poster is feeding off. She probably thinks she is not anti-Semitic though.

The only bit you’ve got wrong is that I’m the only person with this view.

I'm inclined to agree.

Not for one moment do I think you're the only one. Jesus.

I’m glad you agree.
It’s worth questioning why Israel gets all the attention when there are much more horrific atrocities occurring elsewhere.
That is not to say Netanyahu shouldn’t be criticised - but there is a massive double standard when it comes to Israel and Jews

I really don’t have to worry about how you judge me. Jesus will do that. He’ll judge us all.
Hatred is all around. My point is, why are we so shocked at these events. It happens the world over between religions.
It’s not safe for Christian’s in Israel and it’s not safe for Jews in the UK.
Im genuinely sorry my link to the news article upset you.
Shalom.

My mistake. I didn’t say Israeli's because I don’t know where they’re from. It’s Jewish people in Israel with Christian people in Israel. I have no idea if they reside there or are visiting.
I haven’t been - I’m holding off on a pilgrimage until it’s safer. I do have a clergy friend who’s been a few times and it was tense before the war. I don’t fancy being attacked for my faith, as I’m pretty sure Jewish people don’t in the uk!
As you can imagine, it’s hard to balance the three main Abrahamic religions because there will always be an underlying tension between some.
Me personally, I’m not bothered by Jewish people or Muslim people and stating facts is not anti-Semite - it’s stating a fact. There is hatred - why are we shocked? It’s a reasonable statement that you have taken to calling me anti semite. 🤷‍♀️

There are many many worse places in the world for a Christian than Israel.
I’d much prefer to be Christian in Israel than in Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea, Libya , Yemen , Nigeria Pakistan or China or North Korea

You know Christians are being persecuted in Israel by Jewish person because someone you know went there and it was "tense"?

Well you're clearly the expert.

No. There’s lots of articles recently.
I don’t think I said I was an expert.

lots of cross people on here.

But how do you know they’re Jewish?

Agreed. So many are being killed in some countries in Africa, and this was my original point. There is hatred all over.

Yes Jewish people being persecuted in the UK - which is what this thread is actually about - does make some people quite cross.
