And yet even a century ago Britain was probably the least sntisemitic country of Europe.

I think part of the deterioration is due to the increasing numbers of Muslims in Britain, as elsewhere in Europe. A few years ago the EU Committee on Racism did a study on antisemitism in the EU and why it was rising. The results were that the increase was mainly due to Muslims attacking Jews. It so disturbed them that they suppressed the report until they found a way to mendaciously blame it all on white Neonazis, and exonerate the Muslims as the primary perps. I suspect that besides the Muslims themselves their example encourages others (like the Neonazis, but also leftists) to come out and join in the attacks. The Neonazis are bad enough without making them think that if Muslims can get away with antisemitic violence there is no reason why they cannot do so too.

With the Left adopting “anti-Zionist” stands antisemitism is becoming fashionable again among the bien pensants. I think antisemitism and anti-Americanism are becoming, or have become, two sides of the same coin, with common excuses and common tropes for the hatred (eg being too materialist and too religious at the same time). I believe we shall stand or fall together.

My maternal grandfather was a first generation American. His mother was London born/raised Christian who converted to marry his Polish? born/ London raised Jewish father.
He refused to visit Britain-EVER-because he said that anti-semitism chased his parents out. My GGF was a Bond Street Tailor and I was always told that they had to leave because there was a surplus in that perfession(sp).
Seeing how England is now-maybe Pop was right.

Then it’s okay for me to beat up British people for other British people beating up British Jews for the actions of Israel?

It’s not anti-Angloism, you know. It’s a protest against hate.

Except that according to various reports, self defense is not a valid legal defense in Britain. Unfortunately I am having access trouble to the results of google search right now or I would have posted the articles. However, google self defense britain and look for articles that are not tabloid fodder.
