We had family in Paris who urged him to stay there, and he knew someone who tried to convince him to go the Great Britain. But his goal was America and he wound up coming into the US through, of all places, Galveston, Texas. He's been gone for a couple of decades but thanks, Grandpa, for making sure that in a world-historical sense I hit the Jewish jackpot and was born here...and not in France or England.

They are very anti-American [they want the protective bases and the dollars but no alliance] and of course anti-"Zionist". Umm. Then shovelling snow or cleaning out rest rooms in a Fargo Walmart will be very enticing.

In terms of total numbers the frankly antisemitic press the Independent, the Guardian and Scotsman have a very small readership in comparison. But the problem is that the influential liberal politically correct middle class feel both guilty about the British Empire, and are terrified of the ethnic minorities. They stupidly think that if Israel disappeared they will be left alone, and would probably convert to Islam if they thought it would mean "peace". There are less than 400,000 Jews in the UK we could all fit very nicely in North Dakota.
