#1 Any idea that it is new that there is a strong undercurrent of anti -semitism in the UK is totally bonkers. There always has been. It's just that it was impolite for the educated to openly express it. in the recent past. Hating the Jews is a fine old English tradition.

#2 I grew up in England and our next door neighbours were Jews. If there was any overt antisemitism I wasn't aware of it and if it did exist, the Jews would have been well down the list after the Irish, Polacks, Italians, West Indians, Pakistanis, etc. This is clearly a new phenomena.

#3 Spod - yup, if you read your Dickens you'll see it, not so true these days though - post WW2 influence? I agree with you Phil - anti-semitism in the UK comes way behind prejudice against Pakistanis/Indians, the black community. Jews are largely assimilated and there exist very few communities in the UK that can be described as being overtly Jewish. Sure, anti-semitism exists - but is now the property of the far right, the intellectual left (Beeb/Universities) and the muslim community. It is laughable that UK Muslims, a community that cries persecution over the most trifling matters, displays publicly such vehement racism against the Jews. Seemingly very little is done to combat this.

#4 The problem lies in the fact that our ' academia ' are all lefty retards , Jew hating is a way of life for them ..
Some may say I generalize but in all truth , our education system is awash with , as Howard so well put it , interllectual left.
If I was edumacated (*chuckle*) by this lot , then there wouldnt have been much hope for me ..
When I see todays students pandering to the need of 'fighting the system and state' , I am truely saddened. This hate is a direct consequence of being brainwashed by the academia's view .
GO far enough left , and you end up on the right . *shrug*
