  1. No Hanukkah this year thanks to the Mayor. Judaism is cancelled I guess

  2. This is a sobering statistic and goes to show the governments appalling reaction to the rise in anti semitism.

  3. They should honestly consider eastern Europe as a destination

  4. as an israeli,i want to say a thank you to leftists and to muslims,you have just made my country much stronger by making jews around the world want to immigrate to israel,you are true zionists!

  5. What has changed in British society in say, the last 30 years, that has made it become so antisemitic?

  6. “a survey by the Campaign Against Antisemitism” hmmm

  7. British government is to scared to put their foot down about the Muslim extremists, its the same reason the sex gang went on for as long as it did but only this is nationwide, the government doesn’t want to be seen as anti-muslim/racist by combating the elements that are not compatible with the western world.

  8. I can’t understand how extremist hate like this can be tolerated. The government has a blame for enabling this

  9. These anti-Zionist (totally not anti-Semitic) protest across the western world didn’t achieve what y’all wanted.

    They just convinced more Jews of the importance of Israel.

    Well done, dumbasses.

    Surely, more Aliyah will free palpatine.

  10. Some of us already left and this was years before October 7th.

  11. What utter sensationalism in mainstream media . Instead of setting some sane discourse that breeds debates and discussion ,but no just trying to keep everything on the edge

  12. I think there will be a large amount of Jews from several European countries will be leaving. Europe is either unwilling or unable to protect Jews and instead punishes them when they are attacked by cancelling events and so on.

    But be assured, even after all the Jews will leave or be killed, all your problems won’t be solved.

  13. Incredible, appalling. Changing a intellectually brilliant community of academics, writers, entrepreneurs, artists, engineers and doctors for a mass of fanatic misogynist, intolerant, violent, homophobic work shy freeloaders. The state of England and Europe is utterly depressing.

  14. I will not witness this, but im glad islam will disappear from planet earth in the future.

    i cant describe how much i hate this fucking religion.

    >
    >A phone call was made to a Jewish community organisation in London, and the caller said, “Hitler did not kill enough Jews”

  16. >It also shows us that half of British Jews have *considered whether they need to leave* the UK due to anti-Semitism.

    The headline says half are considering leaving the UK, but the actual quote is that half have considered whether they need to leave. It may come across as pedantic, but I would argue that those are different things.

    Personally I would say that you consider the need for something before you actually consider doing it. Changing the quote implies that half of British Jews decided that there was a need to leave the UK, which is different to what Campaign Against Antisemitism said.

    Obviously neither should be as high as 50%, it just feels a little dishonest for LBC to change that quote.

  17. I love how the mask is finally slipping. We’re always being told that anti Zionism doesn’t equate to anti semitism. Sure Jan

  18. Rise? It’s always been there

    It’s residual guilt from how they handled the original mandate

  19. Is this like the Americans that say they’ll move to Canada every time their side loses an election?
    *Considering leaving the UK* is not the same as *actively making plans and taking steps to leave the country*.

    Where would they go, also? Israel?

  20. Since british are now majority islamic, same with germans, i would say they does not care to pander for the jews.

  21. Israel have been working very hard to get any criticism of Israel (the country) to be an attack on the Jewish (religion)

    When in reality it is totally possible to be against Israel without being an antisemit.

    (Expecting a hailstorm of downvotes for this)

  22. Anyone facing genuine discrimination deserves better. Hate to see someone wanting to leave their home because they are being attacked for their religion.

    If youre saying this because you think “dont slaughter Palestinians, what israel is doing is legitimate war crimes” is antisemitic then you’re just a moron.

  23. Alright, so where are they going that is so much more friendlier against jews than the UK is?

  24. its the same in all of europe. Where are they suppsed to go?

  25. Turns out all the French Dutch and Germans that remainers said being allowed here benefited us being in the EU. Were in fact Algerians, Somalis and Syrians with European passports who all hate Jews .

  26. There is no doubt that there is anti-semitism, but this number is based on a self-referencing poll of a campaigning organisation that isn’t reported at all on their own website. LBC should do a much better job of referencing its sources than this.

    And of course because it is a ‘headline’ now everybody on this sub (which by the way, is increasingly openly racist, just reference some of the comments here about (UK) muslims) starts jumping on it and saying: Look at those awful racists in the UK!!!!11!!1!!1one

    Learn some critical skills folks, it isn’t actually difficult to take five seconds and check a news story like this for validity.

  27. Why the west absolutely loves Islam i will never understand. We have destroyed our entire part of the world by importing people that hates us all and our entire way of living.

  28. Leave and go where? UK is one of the most tolerant countries.

  29. They will be losing literal doctors and engineers because of all the “doctors” and “engineers”. Good work, Europe.

  30. I have 2 questions.

    1 – Is it real antisemitism, or mostly criticising Israel and genocidal rampage? Because if the second, fuck off.

    2 – Why noone talks about elephant in the room? While i dont support real antisemitism, and dont justify it, it happens because of fucked up Israeli narrative, that Israel = all jews. So when they kill children, hate is directed to everyone. Its the same as with hate to russians.

  31. They can move into Gaza once Bibi finishes his master plan.

  32. Expressing a desire to leave the UK is a national pasttime at this point. Loads of people did it after the Brexit vote, after Johnson became PM, after Brexit actually happened, after Johnson resigned, etc.

  33. Now we just need to get the Muslims, Hindus, Christians and any other religious nutter to fuck off too. Religion should have no place in a modern 1st world country.

  34. I’ll leave my country when hell freezes over, but if recent events have shown everything there is a reason Israel exists and I’m glad its there.

    Now ! Can I have a rifle so when they come for me they wont get me without cost ?
