Figure it out, chowderheads.
For years I clung to the belief that, despite the rise in hostility to the Jewish community, we could still build lives here. I had watched from abroad during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party from 2015 to 2020, when Jew-hate poisoned the party and seeped into wider politics. Yet, despite my deep disappointment, I still believed in this country enough to move back from Hong Kong in 2022. I wanted to believe the Jewish story here still had a future, and I was determined to be a part of it.
October 7, 2023, changed everything. Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, and instead of residents recoiling in horror, Britain’s streets filled with marches that celebrated it. Even after two Jews were massacred in Manchester yesterday, on Yom Kippur, the marches continued.
Jew-hatred has become mainstream here. It has been excused by leaders. It has been embedded in a culture where terrorism is justified and Jewish suffering denied.
Your main problem is right up there in that first sentence, that “for years I clung to the belief” business.
CLUE TO THE CLUELESS: For many deca∂es, Once-Great Britain was run by “liberals.” Now, it is run by Moslems. Moslems hate Jews with a passion as burning-hot as the Sun. So do “liberals.” Period, full stop, end of story. Figure it the fuck or die; there is no “Third Way” here.
