I'm going to start this post by reminding everyone that random british Jews are no more responsible for the politics of Israel than random british Catholics control the politics of Rome or Italy. The country frequently claims to speak on our behalf but it does not consult us before doing so.

The state of Israel has been doing targetted murder, abuse and torture of doctors and medical providers.

This is probably why arsonists decided to set fire to ambulances owned by a Jewish charity in London. In London. Not in Israel. Not linked to Israel. In London.

Those ambulances are volunteer and do not only serve Jews, but help people IN LONDON.

Anyway, I wish the Israeli embassy would not issue statements on our behalf. They are smart enough to know that this encourages rather than reduces confusion.

@celesteh the Israeli government wants antisemitism in the diaspora. It makes diaspora Jews fearful and want to seek safety in Israel. The goal is to conflate Judaism and Zionism (even more than they already are). The goal of all ethnonationalists is to sort the people of world into nation-states by some ethnicity-like criteria. That’s true of Zionism and white nationalism alike. Ethnonationalists gonna ethnonationalist.

Yeah, the USA actually has a terrible relationship with USians who live abroad.

One of Al Qeada's goals was to make life difficult for Muslims in the West. The far right are all using the same template.

I fear the worst is yet to come.

British Jews, as you point out, may be currently viewed as "model minorities", but as Zionist imperialism makes the Middle East more unstable, leads to more infrastructure being destroyed and folk ending paying £2.50 a litre for petrol, it won't be long before the UK right wing turns on the Jews as well just like they did back in the 1970s..

We're only a model minority because fascists want to encourage animosity towards Muslims. They can pretend their bigotry is helping us and attribute their own hatred to us.

Left wing antisemites pretend the far right is telling the truth. Right wing antisemites are getting tired of pretending they tolerate our presence.
