A Kind and Noble Bigot: Analyzing 850 Years of English Anti-Semitism
I think British anti-semtism is more of an upper-class phenomenon. Of all of the western groups, the English-speaking world has been the most hospitable to the Jews. Over the past 400 years, no place has been safer for Jews than the Anglo-Saxon world. There have been no pogroms or overt discrimination of Jews in the US, Canada or Australia and Lord Balfour was a key person in aiding the establishment of Israel. The recent growth of anti-semitic sentiment in both the UK and the US is disturbing. As an American in his 50′s, I have never seen more anti-semitism in the US in my lifetime as much as I have seen in recent years.
