Brilliant and beautifully written. My own family has had a similar history and I too thank God that my parents are no longer here to see what has happened to Canada which is following in the footsteps of the UK.

A country without Jews is not much of a country.

Britain will be part of the Ummah and its non-Muslim population will live in humiliation as dhimmis.

Jews have a place to go to avoid this. Most others do not.

I don't understand the Jews in the UK. What exactly are you waiting for? Do you think or believe or even hope that there will be a change for the positive in the Near or far future?

The British have forcefully kicked out the Jews twice in the last millennium, are you waiting for the 3rd time to get the message?

I still love Britain: Liberal and Freedom-loving, who stood alone and then defeated Hitler. But the world has changed around us both. This is no-one’s fault as such. Once again, Jewish people have become scapegoat and lightning conductors for these new anxieties: Demographics and Islamism. Again, this is not our fault. But I am not waiting for a Fascist government here. Best wishes, and Goodbye To All That. We know what is coming.

WAKE UP EUROPE: JEWS are the Canaries in the COAL MINE

"Jews can do their fellow citizens a favor by identifying the sources of cultural poison before the toxicity turns fatal. Hardly anybody is doing it better than these two."

Leaving aside the issue, Israel or the US for British Jewry, British Christians and nationalists should be packing their suitcases and coming to the US.

Good essay, but do correct the typo in line 5 of 2nd paragraph; The "51" should read "61."

People are poor students of history. Most would rather live in the state of denial with words of, “it can’t happen here“, or as one Jewish resident of my apartment complex remarked, “it doesn’t affect me”.

The problem is that all of those Jews in the past felt the same way with disastrous results.

The article makes a great point: It’s not the number of Jews in a particular country but the disproportionate influence we have in the character of the place we live. A country that loses its Jews loses its soul.

When the Jew haters are done with the Jews, who’s next? Pastor Niemoeller‘s words boom in our ears. When political influence takes the place of basic citizen protections, no one is safe. It’s time to pack your suitcase.

It's appalling that it has come to this. I've started looking at what would be needed for me, not a Jew, to move to Israel.
