1. Sky TV has in my view become Al Jazeera on Thames
Alan ,   SA   (02.09.15)
2. Eliminate the BBC
(02.09.15)
The BBC is responsible in a large part for this problem, with their one-sided Middle East reporting. They are using tax dollars to spread their propaganda not only in UK, but around the world.
3. Biggest fuel for antisemitism is occupation
(02.09.15)
and the killings of hundreds of civilians it inevitably involves. So stop it already.
4. Can we talk about the elephant in the room?
Realist ,   Israel   (02.09.15)
The media is to be blamed for the rise in anti-Semitism world wide. They should be held responsible/accountable for the current situation.
5. The Gaza occupier is HAMAS.
mindRider ,   The Free World   (02.09.15)
@3 Your opinion is exactly part of the problem. Which occupation of since 2005 Israeli free Gaza? Israel did not start abducting and killing arab youngsters, nor started shooting rockets at Jew-free in no way "occupied" Gaza.
6. #3 I beg to differ
J ,   Tel Aviv   (02.09.15)
When you look at numbers, the Israel-Palestine conflict pales in comparison to other conflicts (Russia in Ukraine, Syria, Sudan) yet the worlds anger and hatred is exclusively reserved for Israelis and Jews. Seriously: did anyone in London protest the Russian takeover of Crimea (during the Olympics!) or support Ukrainian rebels? (Death toll 5000+) Any anti-Russian sentiment or acts committed? 0 No, the focus is exclusively on Israel's actions giving Hamas and other terrorists the green light to go ahead and do whatever they want because the world will always blame Israel when it reacts, just as they have blamed Jews for the last 1000 years+ for their own shortcomings and natural disasters. Yes, antisemitism is different because its inherently genocidal so it's better to be hated in our own country than fearing for our life outside.
7. anti-Semitism
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (02.09.15)
Anti-Semitism incidents are most of the time coming from immigrants from Arab and Islamic countries. Also the left and especially the extreme left is guilty. On the pretext of protesting against Zionism and Israel they act as real anti-Semites and that since dozens of years. They are not better than the extreme right-wingers. Most of the natives are not against us or against Israel. They are (more) afraid of the growing populations, coming from the Islamic and Arab countries. Also public broadcasting is not only a British sickness: see also Norway, Sweden, Belgium,...
8. Anti-Semitism starts in Israel
Lory   (02.10.15)
Secular Jews hatred of religious Jews especially Haredim and their intolerance of Jewish law is worse than EU's anti-Semitism.
9. #2 BBC and Home Office
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (02.10.15)
I couldn't agree more with #2.The BBC has become the mouthpiece for Israel haters and anti-Semites. In response to the Home Secretary's strident speech condemning anti-Semitism and promising to deal with it,I contacted the Home Office pointing out that the BBC consistently disseminates unrestrained anti-Israel propaganda and anti-Semitism that incites racial hatred and violence. The Home Office's fixed position is that it is not a law and order matter,it's an issue for the Department of Culture and SPORT.So much for Mrs May's fine words.Sounded good but all empty hype. Just thought that I'd share that with you. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
