'Fight the Jewish scum!' Shocking anti-Semitism on streets of BRITAIN ....

THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!

'Fight the Jewish scum!' Shocking anti-Semitism on streets of BRITAIN as Jewish journalist is spat at, abused and even stalked... and the same happens in Copenhagen

With as many as 45 per cent of British Jews fearing they 'may not have a future in Britain', according to a survey by the Campaign Against Antisemitism - and following an experiment by Israeli Zvika Klein on the streets of Paris, British journalist Jonathan Kalmus decided to test the levels of prejudice in two British cities with shocking results. Volunteers in Copenhagen and Rome also suffered some abuse, as well as welcoming reactions, while Jewish journalists in Stockholm and Berlin walked for hours without incident.

'You Jew' was the anti-Semitic scream which came from a passing car. My shaken wife tried to explain it away to my seven-year-old daughter as a very large sneeze. They were simply playing in a local park in Manchester a few weeks ago when the incident ripped through what should have been a peaceful and wholesome time for any mother and child.

'Fight the Jewish scum' and 'Jew, Jew, Jew... Run', were the more vicious threats hurled at me in the past few days, however, when I decided to secretly film and find out whether 'Jew-hatred' really is alive and kicking on British streets.

The answer to that question is a resounding and heart-sinking yes.

Not a huge fan of the Daily Mail, but interestingly enough, you don't find this elsewhere, except RT.

It's wrong. The trend needs to be stemmed. Religious practice is sacrosanct as a personal practice.

State sponsored Theocracy, no so much.

Be sure to re-read the very first bolded statement.

During the time of Thatcher, there are several story arcs about racist, neo Nazi youth. Jews aren't mentioned as often as say, Pakistanis, but what's interesting to me here is it looks like not only did that particular version of prejudice not 'die out' but has grown proportionately, and changed its face. Frightening-- terrifying in fact.
