Peace Has Come to Gaza, but the War Against Jews in Britain Goes On
(Telegraph-UK) Danny Cohen - For many British Jews, the drumbeat of antisemitism is becoming the persistent backdrop to our lives. It is altering how we see the world. The scale of the problem, the horror of events, the amount of people we now realize hold antisemitic views is making a growing number re-assess their futures. The Jewish community is absorbing incidents of violence, hate and prejudice on a daily basis. On Yom Kippur, an Islamist extremist mounted a terrorist attack on a synagogue in Manchester. On the streets of Britain the marches continue, despite the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Many of the protestors are calling for "global intifada." They want to attack Jews wherever in the world they find them. Can Britain's Jews live their lives with the freedom and security that all others take for granted?
