British Treatment of Jews

Postby Leningrad Union » Sun Aug 18, 2013 2:42 pm

This thread is about how the British have treated the Jews throughout history. Do you think that they have been fair towards Jews or racist and discriminatory? Personally, I feel that the British have ups and downs in their treatment of Jews. Many Brits, civilian and government have been tolerant and supportive of Israel or the plan of Israel, depending on the time period that they have lived in. However, other Brits have been quite the opposite. In WW2, Jews were being brought back to Europe if they escaped to Palestine. In modern day, anti-Semitism and white nationalism is running wild in the UK. This is why I feel neutral on British treatment of Jews. Share your thoughts below.

Unfortunately they use pro-Palestine views as an excuse for prejudice. If you are against nationalism and don't like Israel, that's fine. But if you hate Israel and don't dislike other forms of nationalism, you are anti-Semitic.

Running rampant? Not really.. There's been an increase, but its not "running rampant". The English have been quite good to the Jewish in my opinion, even during times of extreme discrimination towards them.

The Euros have a habit of treating non-citizens with hostility. Not to mention the rampant anti-semitism that was pervasive in every European country before the Second World War.

In WW2, Jews were being brought back to Europe if they escaped to Palestine.

Well, for one, I'm pretty sure Britain had immigration quotas to Palestine. For two, although, I think, it's only post-World War II, Jewish terrorists and rebels did erupt in revolt against the British authorities in Palestine.

In modern day, anti-Semitism and white nationalism is running wild in the UK.

I always think of the movie the Infidel when I think about Judaism in the UK, as well as Islam.

However, the vast majority of individuals are fuckin idiots, and if certain restraints are not metered down by more responsible members of society, the society quickly degrades into a hedonistic and psychotic cluster fuck."

By which you mean, "literally created Israel".

However, other Brits have been quite the opposite. In WW2, Jews were being brought back to Europe if they escaped to Palestine.


If you hate Israel and don't dislike other forms of nationalism, you are anti-Semitic. But what if you hate other forms of illegal immigration, but are ok if Jews do it? Considering the most prominent examples happened after the war.

In modern day, anti-Semitism and white nationalism is running wild in the UK.


"running wild"? Really?

The general public generally just attacks what's there. If I had to rank the groups of pro-Palestine people by size, it'd be this:

1. People who don't know what nationalism is but hate Israel because reasons.
2. People who know what nationalism is and don't approve it.
3. Anti-Semitic people.

I think there's much more of a problem with the British treatment of Muslims. Luckily, I come from a nice place where everyone's accepting except for the teachers. The teachers tend to not like atheists, ESPECIALLY atheist children. That's only locally though.

At least outside of Eastern Europe anyways, but then progress seems to move from west to east in Europe. All one needs to know is what happened in the Balkans in the 1990s over ethnic struggles to know that nationalism was recently strong there.

I've never encountered this view either, then again I've also only met one practicing Jew in my entire life.

I'd like evidence that anti-semitism is 'running wild in the UK' too.

Well, the reptilian chameleons at the top, some of whom are the Rothschilds, ensured that Britain was completely under their control. They then, convinced the entire world that the Ashkenazi Jews, who are from Khazaria and actually converted to Judaism in 740AD were somehow from the holy land of Israel, when not a single ancestor had stepped a toe in it. They now have the backing of the entire world, and continue to carry out their Talmudic views on goyim, and ensure they are all addicted to pornography and other corrupt vices, in order to keep them from standing up for their family and freedom.

Oh, but not all Jews are bad. Sephardic Jews aren't bad at all, despite their pharisee past. It's the Khazars, the warlike tribe of "Serpent People" who were phallic worshipers that randomly converted to Judaism who are corrupting the world through Cultural Marxism (feminism, homosexuality, abortions, alcohol, pornography, life-degrading comedy, gory movies) in order to instate atheistic communism and eventually allow reptilian (and possibly other alien species) to assimilate and control the communist regimes of slaves later.

London, 1945

"I say old chap, there do seem to be a few too many of the old yid's around here, eh, wot?"

"I say! Quite right! Something should be done about it!"

"Indeed, quite, quite! Ah! I've had a spark of inspiration, old boy!"

"Oh, do tell, do tell!"

"Wot say we put up signs which say, "All Expenses Paid Emigration to Israel: Live Rent Free!" all over the country! It's brilliant, I say!"

"Brilliant! A stroke of genius, old boy!"

And thus, Israel was born.
I AM DISAPPOINTED
