1. A light to all nations...
Josh   (02.06.10)
We are doing something wrong and you know it.
2. It is an easy problem to solve
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.06.10)
Just outlaw islam and deport all muslims, even those born in englandistan. It will not stop anti Semitic acts 100%, but it will help. After the Jews, the moslims will go after the Christians.
3. UK
Darren ,   Rishon Lezion   (02.06.10)
If this was the muslim community on the receiving end of an outbreak of hatred there would already have been a debate in Parliament..... Brown has to do more and British Jewry has to stop being so politically correct!!!
4. The Unholy Trinity is based in the UK and London
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.06.10)
The Unholy Trinity is made of course of the classic anti-Semites, the "progressive" anti-Jewish racists and the 7th century based Islamist elements in society. Britain in general and London in particular have become the centre, the hub of this latest trendy pastime activity: painting Israel and Zionism as the substitutes for yesteryear's Jew and Judaism, i.e. demonizing a people, the Hebrew/Israeli/Jewish people and its non-violent national liberation movement and its nation-state of Israel.
5. UK Govt is REFUSING2 anul LivniLaw bcos terrified own Muslim
Alan ,   SA   (02.06.10)
. will be offended if they dont go after Israel. AND MIGHT NOT VOTE FOR LABOUR IN THE IMMINENT ELECTION The UK Government promised Livni they would change that War Criminal Law .But they do nothing! The PM Brown could order that law to be changed- so Attorney General not a junior magistrate can order an arrest - in 5 minutes but he doesn't in case he offends the Pram Pushers. Millipede does nothing.... Straw does nothing .Both can change it as well. (Straw has a big Muslim Constituency of Blackburn) THE LAST PARAGRAPH OF THIS ARTICLE IS RUBBISH.NO BODY IS STANDING FIRM AGAINST ANYTHING- UK ANTISEMITISM GROWS because it feeds an already fertile Jew hating population who claim to be only Antizionist. . Now some tame UK Jews will write in to say there is no Antisemitism in Britain! LOL.
6. What a hypocrite
Ran   (02.06.10)
OK, we know the British are hypocrites through and through. However, Israel should have supported Michael Savage (Weiner) when the anti-semitic UK directly attacked him - instead, all we got was silence...
7. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   arg   (02.06.10)
this is the book of the generations of adam in the day that the lord created man in the likeness of the lord made he him male and female created he them and blessed them and called their name adam in the day when they were created,bereshyt.
8. Britain and Brown
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (02.06.10)
But yet they use British government money to fund anti Israel left wing groups and support boycotts such as the west bank labeling issue. http://israelprotect.blogspot.com/
9. Alan 5 in South Africa?. You're right we will write in
Mr Israel UK ,   London   (02.06.10)
It really is not that bad. I would rather be here than in South Africa. The image of racist drunk knuckle dragging Afrikaans on a Friday and Saturday night in their rugby shirts sadly come to mind when I remember living there a few years ago. They hated black people, gays, and Jews. Give them a few drinks and they'll go in for a punch. Hate is everywhere, no doubt in it, if you can tell me Jews have it better in SA than in UK, show the evidence. In UK. I know a gay guy that was attacked and beaten badly, his attack was added to one of hundreds of anti gay attacks. A muslim man was beaten and killed, that was added to much larger anti islam attacks. You seem to have inside information regarding the UK government and it's policy changes, thats interesting.

10. Picture shows the cocav of david equals the janism swastika
Josh   (02.06.10)
If you study the middle east histrory and the use in synagogues of the Jainism swastika as a good luck charm like the hamsah is today (its jainism chakra brother) or the star of david, one should look at this writting on the wall as much more threatening than antisemitism. If the holacuast was needed to teach us that pagan good luck charms of a hooked cross strike fear in our hearts and haunt our nation, how much of a warning do we need about other pagan symbols. The six point star is not originally from jusadism and is an intergral part of foriegn religion magic. Does it not say, if you bring a banned item into your home, you become ban like it? The curses of torah state that a vile nation will be promoted over us if we take on pagan items and abandon Torah. That picture says what a vile nation that is growing in strength has backing its strength. A hatred and evil. Shma Israel. Only if we abandon chose death and accpet the yoke of chose life Torah will we be protected. The question of Torah stands. How can two lead a thousand to war lest the hand of G-d had done this? The writing is on the wall. Evil flashes its sabre in antisemitism.
11. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   arg   (02.06.10)
when the son of man shall come in his glory he shall set the sheep on his right hand but the goats on the left then shall the melej say unto them in his right hand come ye blessed of my adonai inherit the malkut prepared for you from the foundation of the world for I was hungred and ye gave me meat I was thirsty and ye gave me drink I was a stranger and ye took me in naked and ye clothed me I was sick and ye visited me I was in prison and ye came unto me Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethen ye have done it unto me then shall he say unto them on the left hand depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for devil and his angels you did it not to one of the least of these ye did not to me and these shall go away into everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal.
12. #9 Read my post-I am not writing about SA-ONLY U R
Alan ,   SA   (02.06.10)
Why are you writing about SA?What has SA got to do with UK ANTISEMITISM (so bad now due to left and muslim coalition) . All my inside info on UK Government comes from articles on the web. BTW the Livni story is in this week Jewish Chronicle on WEB . Also all Jack Straw and Milliband Stories in past few days in UK MEDIA . Yes you did write in.
13. Stop whining
Choni Davidowitz   (02.06.10)
The ONLY effective antidote for the "poison" of anti_semitism is MASS ALIYAH
14. Even PM Brown called increased UK Antisemitism"troubling"
(02.06.10)
15. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   arg   (02.06.10)
the scribes brought unto Jesus a woman taken in adultery they say unto Jesus rabbi this woman was taken in adultery in the very act now moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned but what sayest thou? this they said tempting Jesus that they might have to accuse him and Jesus said unto them he that is without sin among you let him first cast a stone at her and they which heard it being convicted by their own conscience went out one by one beggining at the eldest even unto the last and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing in the midst and messiah said unto her woman where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? she said no man lord and Jesus said unto her neither do I condemn thee go and sin no more.
16. #9 Alan, i think mr israel trying to say you're from SAf and
Carla ,   Buffalo, NY. USA   (02.06.10)
in a roundabout way saying clean up your own house before you tell someone else how to clean theres. Although, there is nothing better than experiencing things first hand than relying on the web for everything. I'd never go to South Africa because it's far too scary, I am a hypocrite I guess. If you're not from South Africa, then advise mr israel uk that. Or he just went waaaay off on a random tangent about a random country then.. :-)
17. oh the british got long history of jew hating
ghostq   (02.07.10)
but now they hide it so well behind the critisim of Israel, but it's not new after all jews lived in gettos only 100 years ago in the UK.
18. our blogosphere is polluted by deviants .
UK Jew and Proud ,   London   (02.07.10)
its actually bloggers and talkbacks like we have here that cause a huge deal of fear and hatred. Below is a link from a pretty open minded blatantly pro Israel uk paper. Americans, listen to us guys actually IN the uk, its fine. if it was as bad as you guys think then i am sure this guy would say so. more money to made out of fear mongering.. but we are fed up, fed up with the fear mongering by people that have NO idea. Quote from below link: "our blogosphere is too often polluted by deviants – the pathetic and the pathological – who take pleasure in scrawling insults about the Jews on the talkback. It is still far more dangerous to be black, or gay or Muslim in the UK, but if anti-Semitism is on the rise let it show itself and do its worst. Anglo-Jewry has a proud tradition of fighting anti-Semitism, racism and Fascism – and Britain and its people have a fine history of tolerance and rejecting extremism." http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/juliankossoff/100025207/anti-semitism-on-the-rise-fear-no-evil/
19. to #18 I have read the commants
ghostq   (02.07.10)
and because the Muslim immigrants Jews get caught in the middle.
20. #1. Stop blaming the victim.
Zvi   (02.07.10)
Jews don't need to do anything wrong to be hated; we're the perennial outsider minority. Murderers, dictators and demagogues have been killing us for several thousand years. The only thing British Jews are doing wrong is failing to stand up for themselves.
21. Carla-Friday nite booze+beat ups R UK custom. Doubt his tale
Alan ,   SA   (02.07.10)
I have experience of BOTH the SA and UK scene .... I never came across such core Antisemitism-and NO Anti Israelism in SA as in I one finds in UK today !!!. ...SA did much to help the development of Israels Weapons industry....Even SA Jewish National Servicemen were given Kosher Meat and given furlough for Jewish festivals . Today SA is very Goldstonistic and Tutuistic in outlook,if I can put it that way.A legacy of when ANC Cadres trained in same Libyan Terror Camps as the Pal terrorists
22. Alan, I thought Jews in South Africa were scared? ref articl
Anwen ,   London   (02.07.10)
here is another website for you to read every day, like you like to http://www.somethingjewish.co.uk/articles/2680_sa_jews_worried.htm you sound very angry and twisted in your view of the uk - just in general. i assume you left because you lived in london like the thousands of other south africans who move to the uk, with the working holiday visa and how the SA economy is weak.. good news about the kosher foods for that event you referred to. that is surprising because my mums friend in durban cant find any kosher food in her city, she doesnt send holiday cards because she cant find any shops that sell them. our supreme leader. the queen and family hosted a state banquet to celebrate israelis 60. i am sure the food in the palace was kosher the queen also knighted president peres, check out them flirting together here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMLCBxNAivw
23. good news on the weapon support. how about this
Anwen ,   London   (02.07.10)
http://www.berr.gov.uk/aboutus/ministerialteam/Speeches/page47055.html Trade between UK and Israel was £3 billion British pounds, thats a zillion Shekels,or about $6 billion dollars, as the dollar is and has been so weak for the last few years compared to the Brit pound. Facts, in 2008 - more than 250 solely owned Israeli firms operated in the UK. And over 50 are currently raising capital on the London Stock Exchange. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange created a partnership - in 2008 that saw the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange GROW by 32%. Some of the worlds richest Israelis make London their home. Lev Leviev is one of them, he is the guy who owns Africa Israel and Boris berezovsky. there are more. they chose here as a home to raise their kids. When you live in London, did you ever go to or walk past Zulus bar, or Boks? go there and you can still here the drunk twenty somethings after a few drinks singing apartheid songs at the end of the evening. breath in the love!!! walk in their wearing a kippah, or, walk in to one of them as a black person..
24. #22When HM attends Kosher Banquet in IsraelIll be impressed
Alan ,   SA   (02.07.10)
You guys only know Guardian Storiesabout Israel and South Africa . BTW SA Banks are safer than UK Banks .... There were no queues out side SA Banks like outside UK Banks on Golders Green Road trying to withdraw their money. I can assure you that Afrikaners were and are a better friend to Israel than any Brit! Thats for sure. This article is about UK Antisemitism which even the UK PM says is bad-----NOT SOUTH AFRICA!!!So stick to the story lads!
25. Ask UK Govt why Queen NEVER visited Israel but ALL Arabland
(02.07.10)
26. Queen has not been to Ireland, Her husband goes to Israel
Aaron ,   Jerusalem   (02.07.10)
and Has she ever been invited ti Israel?? I think surely knighting our president is worth more than a hundred visits, regardless of what you think on knighting.. Neither has she been to Ireland, or Greece. Her husband goes to Israel as his mother is buried in Jerusalem, his mum sheltered Greek Jews during the Second World War and is buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. She hasnt been to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, just a few there, dont hear them moaning and claiming, oh we are a victim of hate from the queen. But dont disregard the fact she knight shimon peres, she knighted Simon Wiesenthal - the modern day nazi hunter. I could care less who is knighted but we cant disregard the fact she wouldnt knight our president if she was against him or his nation. END OF. Peres is "Knight Commander in the Order of St. Michael and St. George, a title usually reserved for British colonial affairs officials, foreign-service officers and high-ranking diplomats in Commonwealth countries." Thats quite nice for Peres' resume, next to being nobel peace price winner..
27. The fish stinks from the head down
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen Md.   (02.07.10)
In England the antisemitism is being condoned by the upper layers of society.
