Merliner- I tried the same sarcasm a couple of posts back. People on this website don’t get it. They take it seriously.

I found this story about an attack on the owner of a Kosher Cafe in Loddon. I have also read about attacks on Hasidic men. It appears that it is not safe to be visually marked as Jewish in the UK.
The the UK media still insists that there is no antisemitism in the UK.
This is from the website http://www.totallyJewish.com:
” The owner of a kosher cafe yesterday spoke of the terrifying moments when she was threatened with a knife and spat at in
an unprovoked antisemitic attack outside her
Golders Green restaurant. Mother of one, Linda Cohen
from Hendon, told the Jewish News how the two attackers
made threats on her life, as customers dined just a few feet
away inside La Maison on Sunday evening.
The 34-year-old, said the shocking scenes unfolded
after the pair approached the cafe asking a colleague if it
was kosher and shouting abuse at that female member
of staff. Linda said: “I came out of the cafe with some coffee
and saw these two men shouting abuse. Then they began
shouting abuse at me. One of them came towards me with a
knife attached to a chain and threatened to kill me, whilst
shouting ‘I’m going to kill you, you [expletive] Jew’”.
As she ran inside to call the police, the two suspects began
to walk off but turned around and began throwing chairs at her male colleague and punching him in the face and back,
causing injury to his left wrist, “They just continued attacking
him…they threw chairs at him and hit him in the head and
back,” she said.
The two men then threatened to throw the chair at the
restaurant window, but Linda ran out and pleaded with them
not to, at which point they threw yet another chair at the
male colleague. The suspects later ran off in the direction of
Finchley Road.
Linda said: “I was shocked that it had happened to me,
here in Europe… someone spitting at you and calling you a
stinking Jew.
“It’s shocking that you’re living in a world where you’re
attacked simply because you are Jewish. It’s not like I stole
anything from him – it was just because I’m Jewish. “It’s very scary. Here we are, living in 2006 and it’s just getting
worse. After the Holocaust, we thought things would be different. But we’re always under threat, and its scary”.
One of the suspects has been described as a 24-year-old male,
5 foot 10 inches tall, of European appearance, wearing a
blue zip-up top and grey tracksuit bottoms. The other has been
described as a 24-year-old male.

Nella- I don’t think “most” people get it. Not with the constant whining about the need te keep the diaspora alive or that you need Europe. And other than Mobius, which one of you is writing from Israel? The best revenge you can take on these scum is to migrate to Israel. But revenge isn’t really on anybodies mind.

This is disgusting. Why didn’t the bus driver radio for police? Why didn’t anyone intervene? Why weren’t these thugs arrested immediately? Shameful.

the linked article ahs a lot more detail than the jta blurb

And I wish there was a Bernard Goetz in London:

In my estimation, yes it is on the rise.
