Antisemitism: the big question...

Oy veh - this is the oldest hatred and the BBC think they will get to the bottom of it in under 30 minutes? - Still, it was a good try and we were given a good cross-section of the British public.

Those Jewish dissenters, Greenstein and that grey-haired ex-Israeli lost the argument and the plot, I think.

i wouldnt even know if i have met a jew.i probably have but i have never noticed it as a problem in glasgow.nobody cares

[TheGallifrey123]

this was in 2009. it's now 2011 and it has gotten worse.

[CssAfc]

I love how they're all too scared to correlate the rapid rise in anti-semetism with the rapid rise in islamic immigration and islamofascism.

[flute4hire]

Oh my I've never seen anything like this, there saying its ok to hurt Jews because of ''zionism'' & clapping.

THIS IS FASCISM, THESE TWO JEWS ADVOCATING IT ARE THE CAPPOS IN AUSCHWITZ!

[secula4eva]

as if this excuse ridden pot of bbc drivel wasn t bad enough...

just check out the latest sunday live, on antisemitism..

not a victim of antisemetic threat/violence, or a rabbi in sight BUT

the bias broad corp (true to form) wheel in, a muslim rep from engage

to whine about that crock "islamophobia" ...(beeb penchant that, relativity where there is none)

last time i checked the FACTS,(remember them) Islam-ites were the by far the biggest supplier of both, antisemitic material & violence

[Steinerrite]

I have Jewish ancestors but I don't identify as Jewish myself, nor do my parents; but when it got about at my school that I had Jewish ancestors people, who I had know for years and who were my friends, & who weren't bad or racist decided it would b funny 2 throw penneys at me in the expectation that I would want any money I could lay my little greedy Jewish hands on, even though they all knew I'm Buddhist. That such a thing could happen makes it seem Antisematism must still be a big problem.

[dgw16]

I can't believe the BBC parades around these radical left-wing self-hating Jews. Disgusting.

[Nuron666]

The majority of attacks on Jews in Britain and in France are from mainly asian muslim youths. This program avoided mentioning this basic fact. Once again Muslims are not held to account. Muslims in my area are becoming more and more racist. They not only abuse Jews, but now they are having a go at the hindu community.

[JustB3NJI]

I didn;t even know there was a jewish population in the Uk large enough to be worth talking about, let alone a rise in anti semitism.

[IBeatUpThugs]

George Orwell's old essay "Antisemitism in Britain" is pretty good. Has some good quotables on the irrationality of antisemitism.
