ifti99 -“Really?
Ever hear of the York massacre?
The completion expulsion of Jews from England for over 350 years?
The revocation of giving Jews citizenship in 1754 just a year after it passed (it was revoked due to British Anti-Semitism)?”
Yes, so they were once antisemitic, what does it have to do with the early part of this century? When I said never that meant in the time period we were discussing.
“Though there was some growing anti-semitism during the 1930s, this was counterbalanced by strong support for British Jews in their local communities leading to events such as the Battle of Cable Street where anti-semitism was strongly resisted by Jews who fought it out on the street with Fascists elements. Consistent with its complex history, Britain was not particularly receptive to Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazi regime in Germany, and the other fascist states of Europe. Approximately 40,000 Jews from Austria and Germany were eventually allowed to settle in Britain before the War, in addition to 50,000 Jews from Italy, Poland, and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. Despite the increasingly dire warnings coming from Germany, at the Evian Conference of 1938, Britain refused to allow further Jewish refugees into the country.”
This is totally irrevelant. How about posting a whole European history book here? So there were fascists living in Britain -so what? And the fact that they didn’t agree to letting in as many Jews as possible into England doesn’t mean without the arabs hounding them that they would have adopted the same policy in Palestine.
