Danny Cohen, the BBC’s director of television, said this week that he was deeply troubled by the anti-Semitism in Europe in general, and in Britain in particular.

Speaking at a conference in Jerusalem, where he was interviewed by Channel 2 News anchor Yonit Levi, Cohen said, “I’ve never felt so uncomfortable being a Jew in the UK as I’ve felt in the last 12 months. And it’s made me think about, you know, is it our long-term home, actually.”

Given that the BBC is basically an anti-Semitic propaganda machine worthy of Goebbels, my sympathy is remarkably limited to the author.

I think Israel could get by fine without US aid. Israel is linked with the US and blackmailed in a sense to receive aid so that Washington can openly influence Israel’s policies. I realize this view isn’t ever stated or commonly expressed not in the US or Israel; and it doesn’t help that the US gives an enormous if not more aid in total to Israel’s neighbors. I’ll repeat myself I think given Israel’s GDP and the resources from Jewish people world over the country would be better off not taking any aid from other countries. Sanctions from Europe and especially the until now unthinkable sanctions or limits from the US market are what would concern them. Obama and his handlers and their minions truly despise Israel and are working hard along with Israel’s internal 5th column to set up what will be the endtime’s scenario.

Not going to happen. Jews should make aliya. That’s the final solution. We have it. Let’s hold onto it.

No, we don’t. Most British dislike the former and admire the latter. Don’t let loud Muslim or anti-Israel voices distort that.

The vast majority of the UK is not anti-Semitic. Its confined to the fringes. In fact the 2014 ADL study of global anti-Semitism found the UK to be the 6th LEAST anti-Semitic nation on earth, one ahead of the US.

‘They’ve had a history of killing and expelling their Jews, also enabling the Nazi murder of many more Jews by actually blockading the coast of Israel to prevent Jewish refugees from the Nazi death machine from landing there’

Ignorant, slapdash history.
