You know edT,

In the UK recently we have seen the formaton of a new group of right wing nationalists called the English Defence Leaugue.

They hold rallies outside mosques and exist to drive Moslems out of Britain.

They are comosed of football thugs and other BNP old guard.

I suggest you look at some of the Youtube videos of them as they chant their slogans of hate.

You may be surprised to see a few Israeli flags being waved.

There is conflict brewing at a very low level in the UK between Jews and Moslems.

Firstly it is important to note that there is NO evidence of a large scale cultural antisemitism as described in your article.

But secondly, what tension that does exist is as much the product of Islamophobia as it is a product of Anti-semitism.

In addition, there have not been similar rallies by moslems outside synagogues.

Islamophobia is also heavily promoted by newspapers like the sun, the mail and the express, and moslems are an at risk section of society in the UK as a result of this, much more so than British Jews.


Gerald Kaufman, Friend of Golda Meyer and Jewish Member of the UK Parliament has criticized Israel for hiding behind the holocaust and accusations of anti-semitism in an attempt to justify what he describes as the murder of palestinians.


I personally, coming from an Irish perspective, know that it is essential to recognize political problems as just that political problems, and not religious or cultural ones.

Political problems need political solutions.

Blaming the whole world for being Jew haters in response to accusations of Human rights abuses and racism is not an effective political solution.
