From Britainistan With Hate

by JASmius



Remember Zivka Klein's little "man on the Paris street" experiment from a few weeks ago?  British journalist Jonathan Kalmus ran the same tests in two British cities, and found depressingly similar results:

With as many as 45% of British Jews fearing they ‘may not have a future in Britain’, according to a survey by the Campaign Against Antisemitism – and following an experiment by Israeli Zvika Klein on the streets of Paris, British journalist Jonathan Kalmus decided to test the levels of prejudice in two British cities with shocking results. Volunteers in Copenhagen and Rome also suffered some abuse, as well as welcoming reactions, while Jewish journalists in Stockholm and Berlin walked for hours without incident.

‘You Jew’ was the anti-Semitic scream which came from a passing car. My shaken wife tried to explain it away to my seven-year-old daughter as a very large sneeze. They were simply playing in a local park in Manchester a few weeks ago when the incident ripped through what should have been a peaceful and wholesome time for any mother and child.

‘Fight the Jewish scum’ and ‘Jew, Jew, Jew… Run’, were the more vicious threats hurled at me in the past few days, however, when I decided to secretly film and find out whether ‘Jew-hatred’ really is alive and kicking on British streets.

…..It took me just one minute. One minute of walking one single, busy major street in Manchester before abuse was flung at me.

In twenty-five minutes on that one single street in Longsight, I was spat at by one man and called ‘a Jew’ multiple times by passers by, even by a young boy walking with his father.

I was just walking in the street testing the effect of being clearly identifiable as a Jew by wearing a small traditional Jewish head covering called a kippah.

In Bradford the situation was more shameful. It took thirteen minutes, during which I was stalked by a man who repeatedly took pictures of me. He followed me on foot for five minutes and thirty seconds according to my footage.

There was a shout of ‘you Jew’ at me as I crossed the road to Bradford City Park.  Minutes later a man turned his head and yelled ‘fight the Jewish scum’ just behind my back.

Some time later three youths shouted at me across a street repeatedly, ‘You’re a Jew, not a Muslim…Jew, Jew, Jew run!’



Given the extent to which the United Kingdom, as well as the rest of Europe, has been overrun by Muslims already, the hostility and bigotry encountered by Mr. Kalmus really oughtn't be all that shocking.  Indeed, that it was less in evidence in Stockholm and Berlin is the real surprise - but one that certainly won't last.

I'll quote myself in closing:

No wonder Benjamin Netanyahu's invitation is so appealing. History is, quite literally, repeating itself less than a century after the world said, "Never again".

"Never again," my tookhes.

But I must ask the same question I did yesterday: Jews have a homeland to which they can flee, and thank the LORD for it. But Christians are hated as much as Jews; and when the enemy within comes for us, to where do we flee?
