The United Kingdom has a problem with Jews.
For anyone who has been paying attention, this is hardly breaking news. It’s both old news — including the massacre of Norwich’s Jewish population more than 900 years ago — and newer news — including the Labour Party’s descent into Islamo-Communism under the doomed leadership of its “friend” of Hamas and Hezbollah, Jeremy Corbyn.
Today, modern Britain has a new prime minister (again), who has rolled out the Labour Party’s token secular Jew, Ed Miliband, to engage in its latest exhibition of anti-Semitism by boycotting Israel.
But while politics gets all the headlines, one of the countless problems with anti-Semitism is that it goes far deeper than politics alone. Of course, it’s easy to look at elected officials — whether it be Jeremy Corbyn, Ilhan Omar, Zohran Mamdani or any of the lunatics in charge of the Republic of Ireland — and conclude that anti-Semitism is a top-down problem that can be solved by democracy alone.
While it certainly matters that anti-Semites (with varying levels of subtlety) are our elected representatives, anti-Semitism is far more than a top-down problem. It’s also far more than a bottom-up problem; it goes beyond the anti-Semitism of the masses bubbling up into the recognizable dog-whistles and head-nods from politicians who think that they have identified just the right dose of Jew-hatred needed to keep their voters happy.
In reality, anti-Semitism both infects and transcends politics, all while revealing yet another double standard when it comes to the language of identity and intersectionality and victimhood.
For years, on the subject of transgenderism or racism or homosexuality or Islam, we’ve been lectured on our various transgressions as participants in a system of institutionalized and systemic bigotry. But when it comes to Jews and the institutionalization of anti-Semitism, the protests are nowhere to be found.
Well, there are protests; they’re just cheering for the other side.
As David Baddiel put it, “Jews Don’t Count.”
In yet another example, the “Campaign Against Antisemitism” released its documentary this week, titled “Malignant: Antisemitism in the NHS.” It documents the experiences of Jewish patients and providers in Britain’s government-run, government-controlled and taxpayer-funded healthcare system, including Nazi salutes, anti-Semitic rants during surgery and throat-slitting threats by the very people tasked with caring for the physical and mental health of British citizens.
And British Jews are still British.
Imagine, for a second, the national (and even international) response if white doctors were caught leaving KKK stickers by a black patient’s hospital bed. The reaction would be one of universal shock, outrage and demand for consequences and change.
But because the doctors, nurses, midwives and therapists — an overwhelming number of whom are Muslim — are focusing their vile hatred upon Jews, nothing happens. In the case of Jewish patients who complain, quite literally nothing happens.
When people ask me about the safety of Jews in my country of birth, they often talk about politics and politics alone. But when Jews are even scared to go to the doctor — and understandably so — the problem is so much deeper than which vapid moron is sitting in the Prime Minister’s office this week.
