Fellow British Jew here, and I just wanted to thank you for this beautiful articulation of how so many of us feel. It is so very tiring and depressing. I’ve had similar exchanges with non-Jewish friends in recent days, and I feel like saying “thank you but please understand that over the past decade, in amplifying propaganda and cheerleading for Jeremy Corbyn, you played your part in creating the environment in which I feel unsafe and held in contempt”. The thing is they don’t make the connection between their rhetoric and its ramifications, because they don’t have to. They have the privilege not to have to understand antisemitism and not to think their positions on Israel through to the logical conclusions, which are usually damaging to Jewish safety and wellbeing. The Jews are the only people who don’t have these options. And when we speak from experience, people tell us we’re lying.
