This is so uncomfortably representative of all Western countries now. Thank you for documenting this.

How revolting is the attitude of Western Countries towards this. This is a black mark in history. I agree with what you say any attack, even on free speech about Muslims, is Islamophobia! Yet attacks on Jews go unreported. The west needs to listen to history and take note. I am utterly horrified by the attacks on Jews in the United Kingdom. Many of us are totally supportive of British Jews and Israel. However the Government we have are anti semitic, desperate to court the Muslims because they fear they will lose their Muslim support and their votes. It is utterly disgusting and I feel repulsed by them . Whatever you may hear, most people in this Country are frightened beyond belief. We are on your side!

From America it appears England is overwhelmingly anti-Israel/antisemitic. I'm glad to hear from real people in the UK that it's not. Governments, legacy media, bot farms on social media, academia bubble are not the real world. Real folks in the west know what's really going on and who the bad guys are.

Democrat party is no longer Jew friendly. In fact. Its main agenda is based on hostility towards Israel and Jews in general. I do not think it is wise for Jews to stay in democrat controlled states/cities.

Remember that pitting Jewish people against Muslims, and white people against black people, does the work of The Re-Formed Nazi Party (monitored here in London in 2013) for it. When it comes to Mass-Murder, the Nazi does not make any distinction.

I am neither Muslim nor Palestinian. I find that any activism, however legitimate that is against Israel is deemed as antisemitism. Let us reserve this term for serious atrocities like pogroms or holocaust and not bandy it around for legitimate criticism of genocidal activity or ever-expanding settlements.

"The Muslims [in the May 18, 2021 attack on Jews at the Suchi Fumi restaurant] faced two two (sic) felony counts of assault. . . .

A judge let them off with probation and ordered them to visit a Holocaust museum."

One can hear the Muslims leaving the Holocaust museum extremely impressed, saying "Wow, you can do that? Why didn't we bring pen and pad to take notes."

Such is the natural resultant of “hate crime” legislation, which is a collectivist assault on the right of the individual to equal protection under the law.

It is the law which must be changed in order to restore justice to our nation.

The Forward clearly is geared for woke and so called progressive Jewish audience and has a strongly anti Orthodox and anti Israel approach in its editorial News and features

So now that we read about the bias and injustice of the Justice system, Is there nothing that we can do? All we can do is read about it, get sick to our stomachs and just accept it. Daniel Greenfield writes this essay in Future of Jewish so basically, it is preaching to the choir.

Why doesn't any of our Jewish organizations that beg for money daily, not take this story and buy ads in the major Florida newspapers? Why dont they mention the names of the people in charge who did nothing? There are so many things that we can do but again we do nothing. Tomorrow we will get another essay on another antisemitic action and we will react the same way and do nothing.

ALL ESSAYS AND ARTICLES OF THIS NATURE SHOULD HAVE A CALL TO ACTION. PERIOD.

Sorry for yelling but we are getting killed in the PR war and missing opportunities daily to fight back.

your characterization of "The Forward" as "increasingly leftist" is a little silly, given the fact that it was founded as a socialist/communist Jewish newspaper

Thanks for your article Daniel - so depressing to see that in the US you have the same two tiered Justise system as we have in the UK. Every week part of central London is closed down by violent so-called Palestinian supporters (Jew haters) It has cost the London police department so much money since Oct 7th that they are having to cut back and lose thousands of officers. (the Palestinian org in the UK had prior knowledge of the HAMAS massacre - again the police did nothing)

I could not wear a kippot or show any identifiable Jewishness in London. Nearly 100 years ago was Kristallnacht. Are we back to those days again.

Disgusting. We can thank Biden and Obama for their politicized FBI and Jew hate in local government. Hopefully things will change with Trump.
