What the heck is going on in this country 09:05 - Mar 15 with 4067 views | Guthrum | when people think it's clever or funny to put up an anti-jewish road sign? Not anti-Israeli, specifically anti-Jewish. Do these idiots not have family and friends who can tell them how stupid this is? Have they learnt nothing from history? Tho I suppose if all their friends are on-line American white power loons (where the anti-semitic tradition has been a lot stronger than in the UK far right), then perhaps not. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/15/beware-jews-sign-reported-police-mps- | |

What the heck is going on in this country on 11:34 - Mar 15 by Lord_Lucan | Am I the only one that thinks the reaction has been blown out of proportion. Is it offensive in a hate way or just a misplaced giggle that went a bit too far. It's not as if someone has put up a swastika with the words "Feck off Jews" |
I thought that about Millwall singing "3 for a fiver" at the Asian Spurs player. A bit blown out of proportion in my opinion. I guess it depends on how the victim perceives it. | |

Looks like you might be. Fascism must always be resisted at the start. Lesson from history. The sign is a hazard warning sign. It means "Beware! Jews!" Someone spent time and money planning out the installation. How do you think it makes the local Jewish community feel? As a piece of hate propaganda it is wittier and more stylishly realised than a daubed message. It might even raise a smile from some. But wit and graphic design skills don't make it acceptable. If anything it makes it more effective, and therefore more alarming. Jewish groups are always extremely quick to make a noise and call out any anti-semitic hate crime. Considering their history I don't think that is surprising. | | | |

Fair enough. I wasn't glorifying it, I just thought there might have been a bit of an over reaction. I take on board your comments. | |

Given what we see in terms of anti-semitism in this country, it is just as likely to be a member of the Labour Party or someone not-white as it is a white supremacist these days. | |

I disagree. The results are such because Palestinians (muslims) are at the receiving end of a lot of Israeli domestic and "foreign" policy. Non-muslims generally don't learn of the true the extent of such discrimination and violence - justified as "self defence" and usually reported as tit-for-tat. Now, while there is a much higher percentage of muslims feeling hatred towards Jews because of the situation in Israel and Palestine, there is universal Islamophobia, across all religions in all continents. While Islam is the most populous religion there are a few very small groups of jihadis, armed and supported by our "friends" Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf States and even supported by we Britons, other Europeans, Israelis and Americans when it comes to ousting leaders of non compliant countries we don't like. THAT is the elephant in the room. | |

You disagree that anti-Semitism among Britain’s Muslim communities is ‘routine and commonplace.’ ? http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2013/03/sorry-truth-virus-anti-semitism- Medhi Hassan calls it their "dirty little secret". | |

So you agree that anti-Semitism among Britain’s Muslim communities is ‘routine and commonplace.’ Are you then saying that anti semitism towards British Jews is justified because of Israeli policy on Palestinians? | |
