It's quite worrying really.

oh my god you mean someone is bombing their houses and then shrugging their shoulders when the occupants somehow die?

I can hardly credit it

[Peter Pedant]

sorry wrong thread: should be under gaza

[youngmafbog]

Thank you PP for wrecking a genuine thread before its even got started.

I cannot fathom why people hate news so much.

I'm still reeling at finding out that it was 2 young black girls aged 14 who best senseless a Jewish woman. Why????? I have a granddaughter of the same age & I cannot image her carrying out such an attack.

what would the people in question do if their govt advised them to move 'for their own safety' ?

[youngmafbog]

//what would the people in question do if their govt //

I cant imagine the tories, or labour if they were in doing that.  Can you?

[ladybirder]

For a while, after the trouble started, we noticed that a house where jews live near us had a uniformed man standing outside on guard we suppose, for a few days.  I guess they must have been a bit worried but he was gone again pretty quickly.

I think it is very concerning. The idea that they cannot show their menorah lights in public, or even walk in the street without abuse, is terrible. Jews (especially in Britain) are not responsible for the actions of the IDF and, in any case, shouting "Heil Hitler" is little to do directly with what's going on in Gaza, and more to do with racists feeling more empowered.

They (roughly 300,000) are not safe, far from it...and recent  events have shown in no uncertain terms who the true enemies in this country and abroad are...

there are now well over 4,000,000 (census figures) muslims here in the Uk and counting, the vast majority of them plus all the mainly leftie "supporters of palestine" (no doubt google maps et al data search records will show a massive leap in searches as they all scrambled to find out where gaza actually was.... "oh thats where it is, didnt know that" ) wish to harm jews one way or another,  as was made  and still is evident by recent events.

They have every reason to feel unsafe.

the hamas terrorist scum knew full well  Israel would retaliate after the October attack and deliberately used palestinians as sacrificial pawns to draw the worlds sympathy and get the world to condemn Israel...

Israel also knows that, but it also knows its own existence is more important than "bad press"...hamas may know how to manipulate the MSM but Israel knows how to fight and is showing them what happens when you poke and goad a far cleverer and bigger opponent...

a rise in Islamophobia too, at least in the US

Wars stir up sentiments on both sides

//Wars stir up sentiments on both sides//

Well yes, that is true.  But I have not seen any reports of Jews threatening to kill muslims (or anyone) in the West.  Unless its not being reported for some reason?

[Peter Pedant]

Jews (especially in Britain) are not responsible for the actions of the IDF- - - this is probably the first time I have seen that

there are certainly no demos - "it's not us!"

but as YMF says - but there cd  have been!

Why are some people talking about Muslims?  The people in the link don't look like Muslims, and the article itself does not mention Muslims once.  Look at the link in the OP and figure out for yourself who the culprits are ...

[youngmafbog]

You are correct, in this case I doubt they are, more like ULT-RIGHT thugs.  BUT, other cases have been from the Muslim community.

[sandyRoe]

They should be safe here in the UK, but a small minority of right-wing anti Semites will do their best to stir things up.

What English Jewery will lose is peace of mind.

[sandyRoe]

And they're much safer here than a Palestinian would be in Gaza or the West Bank.

[Canary42]

Can we be sure they aren't Jewish false flag activity ?

[barry1010]

Rachel Riley says she doesn't feel safe, Maureen Lipman has been offered security by her bosses. 

Martin Lewis doesn't seem to be worried or taking precautions. Nobody should feel unsafe because of their race or religion in the UK.  I am sad that some do.
