Before the 21st century, the UK, while not philosemitic, was also not actively antisemitic. The British establishment types wouldn\u2019t want their daughter to marry a Jew, but the murderous hostility to Jews that characterized so much of Europe was absent in the UK. That reflected the British Protestant belief that British history and faith were inextricably intertwined with the land of Israel.<\/p>

However, with the UK\u2019s Islamic-leftist turn, Britain is now a virulently antisemitic country, something reflected in the Church of England (\u201cCofE\u201d). Not that this is a surprise. The CofE long ago became a completely bankrupt institution, parting ways with the Bible and British history. It\u2019s the Gospel according to the BCC. No wonder that it\u2019s accepted the antisemitic trope that Israel is a genocidal nation that has no right to exist.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a really quick chronology of Jews in Britain:<\/p>\n

Archeology indicates that the British Isles were trading with Bible-era Israel beginning in the Bronze Age.<\/p>\n

The British long believed that Joseph of Arimathea, one of Jesus\u2019s disciples, came to Glastonbury right after the Crucifixion, when Jesus\u2019s followers were still firmly Jewish.<\/p>\n

The first Jews to settle permanently in the British Isles arrived shortly after the Norman Conquest, at the behest of William the Conqueror. In the ensuing years, Britain reflected a trend seen in the rest of Europe: Monarchs borrowed from the Jews, protecting them when they needed money and then, when they couldn\u2019t pay their debts, leading pogroms or banishing them. (See<\/em>, the York Massacre.)<\/p>\n

In 1290, Edward I banished all Jews from the Kingdom. What this meant was that the British were not exposed to Jews at all, eventually knowing them only through Shakespeare\u2019s Shylock.<\/p>\n

In 1655, Oliver Cromwell allowed Jews to return to England, based in significant part on his understanding of the connection between the Old Testament and the New, and the fact that the God he worshipped originated with the Jews.<\/p>\n

After the British monarchy was returned to the throne, Jews had a similar legal status to other dissenting faiths (no entrance to academia, no government jobs, etc.), although they were always seen as the \u201cother\u201d and viewed with some distaste.<\/p>\n

As rights for Christian religious dissenters expanded in England, so, too, did rights for Jews. By the 20th century, Jews had full civil rights, but if you read the mid-20th century women writers I like so much\u2014e.g., Agatha Christie, Georgette Heyer, Dorothy L. Sayers, D.E. Stevenson\u2014the \u201cothering\u201d remained. However, as I\u2019ve always said, you don\u2019t have to like me; you just don\u2019t get to kill me.<\/p>

In 1917, when it was clear that Britain would take over part of the collapsed Ottoman Empire, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, acknowledging that Jews should be able to create a Jewish national state in the former Ottoman colony of Palestine. The lure of Arab oil after WWII caused the British to break this pledge.<\/p>\n

Through it all, the CofE avoided the virulent antisemitism that other faiths (most notably Islam, of course) embraced.<\/p>\n

But recently, Britain has changed. It\u2019s graduated from soft socialism to hardcore communism, and it\u2019s welcomed so many fanatical Muslims into its midst that the nation is no longer a tolerant, liberal nation. Instead, it\u2019s a nasty, anti-Christian, antisemitic place. And in a way, there\u2019s no nastier, more anti-Christian institution than the CofE.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the CofE has:<\/p>\n
