question 2

it seems to me that the English government view has been bias against Israel.

withholding arms,allowing the BBC and other media to espouse an antisemitic antizionist pro-Palestinian often pro-hamas and pro-hezbollah to prevail.

marches in large centres like London,manchester and also leeds often violent,always virulent towards Israel and also the jews. the police stand by and watch even though defamatory remarks and pro-hamas and pro-hezbollah and certainly threatening jews and pro-Israel supporters is illegal.

jews have been prosecuted at times.

hen 2 muslims drove to London and shouted "murder jewish women and rape their daughters" they were not fined,imprisoned or convicted by the (muslim) judge so the perpetrators know that they can do this with impunity.

as a jew I,who live in south Manchester, feel unsafe and insecure and fear for the future in UK.

it would not surprise me if in 5 or so years UK would be a sharia state.

0.5% of uk population is jewish. 13.5% of the population is muslim with certain cities already having a high proportion of muslims which affects and will effect more in the future voting in elections which will influence MPs decisions and directions if they want to stay in office.

I am aware that everything is classified as islamophobia whereas the huge increase in antisemitic acts in uk is minimised and not acted on.
