Antisemitic Attacks In Britain Rise To A Level Of 'the worst recorded in Britain in decades'




Just yesterday I blogged about how the British government had ruled that Dutch PM Geert Wilders, who has spoken out about radical and extremist islam, could not enter Britain and here, at The Telegraph, we see an article about how antisemitic attacks against Britain's Jews are at an all time high. So, what do you think? Do you believe it is just coincidence that while the British government has intensified its appeasement of islamists in Britain that attacks on Jews have increased? Is it just a quirk of fate that Jews in London are being stalked at the same time sharia laws are being enacted in certain London districts? Here are some of the details from the article:



Police patrols have been stepped up in Jewish neighbourhoods following the most intense period of antisemitic incidents to have been recorded in Britain in decades.
Safety fears are so acute that reports have emerged of members of Britain's Jewish community fleeing the UK with antisemitic incidents running at around seven a day this year.
Around 270 cases have been reported in 2009, according to figures compiled by the Community Security Trust (CST), the body that monitors anti-Jewish racism, with most blamed on anti-Israeli sentiment in reaction to hostilities in Gaza. Attacks recorded during the first Palestinian intifida of the late 1980s averaged 16 a month.


Let's look at a shocking example of real life...of how this is really playing out in Britain:



Incidents recorded by the CST include violent assaults in the street, hate emails and graffiti threatening "jihad" against British Jews. One disturbing aspect involves the targeting of Jewish children. A Birmingham school is investigating reports that 20 children chased a 12-year-old girl, its only Jewish pupil, chanting "Kill all Jews" and "Death to Jews". In another incident a Jewish schoolgirl reported being bullied at a non-Jewish school because of the Gaza conflict.

I think most of us have seen the videos of the London protests that took place after publishing of the Danish cartoons when thousands of muslims in Britain took to the streets - we saw the hatred, we saw the violence, we saw the threats. We've seen the London bombings that killed innocent Brits. And now we are seeing British Jews who cannot even walk the streets safely or have their children attend school.

This antisemitism cannot be brushed aside by the comment that Jews have never been truly accepted in Britain - this is the worst in nearly 50 years and the reason is plain. The muslim horde in this country has pushed every public right they have as immigrants and have gone beyond the legal norm and yet the British government continues to turn and look away. Mark my words, between the radical islamic imams stirring crowds to violent protests and these antisemitic attacks, there will be some horrific violence in Britain. The muslim population is wagging the dog of British leadership and it's only a matter of time before this boils over into a real war on the streets.



Rise in antisemitic attacks 'the worst recorded in Britain in decades'


Police patrols have been stepped up in Jewish neighbourhoods following the most intense period of antisemitic incidents to have been recorded in Britain in decades.
Safety fears are so acute that reports have emerged of members of Britain's Jewish community fleeing the UK with antisemitic incidents running at around seven a day this year.
Around 270 cases have been reported in 2009, according to figures compiled by the Community Security Trust (CST), the body that monitors anti-Jewish racism, with most blamed on anti-Israeli sentiment in reaction to hostilities in Gaza. Attacks recorded during the first Palestinian intifida of the late 1980s averaged 16 a month.
Scotland Yard is understood to have placed prominent Jewish communities on heightened alert, while the Association of Chief Police Officers' national community tension team is responding to intelligence by issuing weekly patrol directives to chief constables instructing them of threats to Jewish communities in their areas.
Incidents recorded by the CST include violent assaults in the street, hate emails and graffiti threatening "jihad" against British Jews. One disturbing aspect involves the targeting of Jewish children. A Birmingham school is investigating reports that 20 children chased a 12-year-old girl, its only Jewish pupil, chanting "Kill all Jews" and "Death to Jews". In another incident a Jewish schoolgirl reported being bullied at a non-Jewish school because of the Gaza conflict.
CST spokesman Mark Gardner said the current fear of persecution was so profound that some members of the Jewish community were seeking to emigrate to countries where they felt more secure, such as Israel, the United States or Australia. "I know two families, one of which has already moved and the other which is in the process of moving, who don't see the point of putting up with this," he added.
This week the CST will publish its annual report on antisemitic incidents for 2008, which will reveal that around 550 were recorded in the UK last year, slightly less than the record of 594 in 2006, when Israel and Lebanon waged a brief but bloody war.
Veteran director and actor Steven Berkoff recently explained the anti-Israeli reaction over Gaza by saying: "England is not a great lover of its Jews. Never has been".
Some within Britain's 350,000-strong Jewish community accuse the government of not doing enough to condemn the increase in antisemitism. However, the Board of Deputies of British Jews said it had recently received a letter from the communities minister, Hazel Blears, stating that she was "deeply concerned about the dramatic rise in antisemitic attacks in the UK".
Mark Frazer, spokesman for the Board of Deputies, said: "We are seeing an unprecedented level of attacks directed at the Jewish community, both physical and verbal. It is incumbent upon us all to isolate and marginalise those who would derail the legitimate political debate with an extremist and hateful ideology." Recorded attacks have centred on the Jewish communities of Golders Green and Hampstead Garden Suburb in north London.

Catching up on your posts by reading most recent and then backwards. I should have known you covered this topic.

Unbelievable that the Brits allow these mobs to scream death but refuse entry to Geert Wilders. The rank and file Brits better wake up and rise up before it's too late. A sad day for British subjects.
