That's a shocking headline. Apparently Jews are no longer safe in the U.K. as the government is unable or unwilling to tackle deeply ingrained and fanatic antisemitism. Listing Palestine Action was a good start, but doesn't go far enough.

US considering asylum for British Jews

The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to Britain’s Jewish population, The Telegraph can reveal.

Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he had been in talks with the state department about providing sanctuary for British Jews fleeing anti-Semitism.

Would you consider the feelings of Jewish people in the U.K. to be evidence they aren't safe?

Majority of Jews do not feel safe in Britain and consider moving abroad, damning new poll finds

The majority of British Jews do not feel safe and have contemplated leaving the United Kingdom due to rising antisemitism, according to damning new polling.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAAS) survey revealed that 61 per cent of the Jewish community has considered emigrating, a sharp increase from 50 per cent the previous year.

In another striking revelation, over half of respondents, 51 per cent, now believe they have no long-term future in Britain, compared with 37 per cent in 2024.

British Jews are 'full of fear, like I've never seen before'

"The Jewish community at the moment is full of dread, full of fear, like I've never seen before," says Justin Cohen, news editor and co-publisher of Jewish News.

...

But the fact the Metropolitan Police reported a 15-fold increase in antisemitic incidents over the past three weeks, when compared with the same period last year, means hatred has been at the forefront of the minds of many.

A feeling is not evidence it isn't safe.

I do believe anti Semitism is on the rise, the cause being Israeli aggression.

From whom are they unsafe and why? Because some idiots wrote graffiti on a synagogue - or a mentally unstable person attacks Jews at a synagogue? Aside from that, if they are doing their daily rounds (shopping, taking kids to school, etc.), how would anyone know they were Jewish?

Wait a minute, are saying you want all anti Israeli protests banned? Just forget Israeli genocide and lock up those who protest it?

Palestine Action is a protest movement opposing Israeli government policy and the UK companies that support it, not Jewish people or Judaism. Criticism of a state’s actions is not antisemitism, and conflating the two weakens efforts to combat real anti-Jewish hatred. There is no evidence that Palestine Action promotes racism or targets Jews as a group; its focus is institutional and political. Listing the group may be a political signal, but it risks criminalising peaceful dissent and chilling free expression while failing to address the root causes of protest. Without a clear distinction between antisemitism and legitimate activism, such measures do not go far enough and undermine democratic freedoms.

Consequences of the majority of British Jews donating money to Israel?

At the same time, at least 60% have donated to a charity supporting Israel since 7 October, 65% identify as Zionists, 71% feel a great deal of concern for the lives of Israelis, 77% feel attached to Israel, and 88% regard Israel as the ancestral homeland of the Jewish People. 52% think democracy in Israel is alive and well, 57% think the IDF has operated within the bounds of international law, and 90% think Iran represents a threat to Israel’s existence. Again, these are all majorities.

If anyone supports a country whose government has destroyed 90% of Gaza, killed 50,000 + women and children, starved them, etc and has killed over 100 children since the ceasefire, I will dislike them intensely.

This may be by donating money or simply flying a star if David.

Are UK Jews currently subject to significant obstacles if they want to settle in the US?

OMG!

www.npr.org/2025/01/23/nx-s1-5272406/trump-suspends-asylum

So far, y'all are totally missing the point!

This isn't about British Jews, per se.

It's part of the maga fascist white nationalist immigration theater.

Everyone else in the world banned from asylum.

EXCEPT, let me check, white South Africans and now apparently British Jews.

Yes even though the maga fascists harbor actual Nazis, the "mainstream" core of the maga ideology is that Jews are "white" and included with "heritage" (white) American national identity.

They also point to Israel as an ethno state as well as speciously Russia as models for their ethno state nationalist aspirations for America.

They're TROLLING!

The humane, sensible, and actually pro American democratic values policy would be to consider all asylum cases based on individual evidence.

Yes it was way too easy under Biden, but that doesn't mean the answer to that is to totally ban ALL asylum appeals except for a few trollish exceptions.

Perhaps some or many British Jews would qualify under that kind of scrutiny, perhaps not, but again that is NOT the REAL issue here.

Wake the flippin' up.

So, you intensely dislike Jews

"The Star of David (Magen David, "Shield of David") is a six-pointed star formed by two interlocking equilateral triangles, a widely recognized symbol of Jewish identity"

If they're British Jews, in most caes their home is Britain.

If they''re feeling Zionism strongly. they can move to Israel, which founding principle is based on the rule of return for all diaspora Jews who choose to (or need to) move to Israel.

Indeed, that's where they all should go. UK to USA, and yet, the Yank Jews are complaining about the same thing, increased anti semitism.

Join all the others in NYC, as there's more than 3 times as many Jews there, than in all of the UK. Although, they are complaining about the same thing.

But don't all Jews complain about that every year ... everywhere ??? That's all I read about in the news.

Yes, it is a major national disgrace the U.S. Department of State was a bastion of old-fashioned antisemitism in the 1930s and 1940s. The U.S. was and is a huge country with plenty of space and an economy big enough to absorb large numbers of refugees.

The U.S. could have saved tens of thousands of Jewish lives preceding and during WWII, but the State Dept. refused to issue them visas for no better reason than classic antisemitism. Many other countries felt that way as well and the result was six million dead Jews.

How many thousands of lives would have been saved if the U.K. had opened Palestine to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution? A conservative estimate would be about 500,000.

Jews are unsafe because of the millions of people driven by antisemitism. The attacks on Jews don't come from random crazies, but from individuals whose minds have been warped by the hatred of Jews. Articles of clothing such as kippahs (skullcaps) or jewelry in the form of a Star of David can identify the wearer as Jewish.

The USA is not the saviors of the world. If everyone not happy where they are came from, went to the USA, it would way worse off than it is now. Don't you read the news.

40+ million can't feed themselves now in USA. Millions are homeless and living in the streets. That's all the USA needed, was millions more that don't speak English/American or couldn't support themselves. Just think what the deficit would be now, if USA took in half of Europe. And why just the Jews ??? How about the others; blacks, gays, etc.

How about, if y'all take care of yourselves. Just think if you stood up to Hitler & Nazis before they were too strong. Oh wait, did you not have any firearms to defend yourself.

That's why us Yanks have that 2nd Amendment ... remember that when you ask, 'why you need so many guns ?'

Depends on how they dress, with some flouting they are Jewish with their distinctive hats and ringlet hair. Those can be spotted a mile away. Others are not so obvious.

It's not illegal for British Jews to contribute money to support the State of Israel as the homeland of the world's Jews. That's a poor excuse for antisemitic actions,

Harassing or attacking British Jews is in no way justified by their donating money to Israel or holding favorable opinions of Israel. British Jews are allowed to support Israel under U.K. law. They are simply exercising rights open to any citizen or legal resident of a democracy.

It's posts like yours which make me want to donate to a charity such as the IDF Widows & Orphans Organization:

and to display the Israeli flag proudly ...

Do you dislike 'intensely" Israeli children who display the Star of David flag?

They are subject to the same obstacles as any other non-U.S. citizens. If they don't have a compelling reason like family reunification, marriage, study or work, then their ability to move to the U.S. will depend on their wealth, which would have to be considerable.

You omit the small detail of the UK taking Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis.

Jews moving to Palestine hasn’t been without an obscene number of deaths.

Jews should have the same immigration opportunities as others. Not limited to the USA and Israel. You seem to have a very narrow stereotypical view of what Jews are. They are not a monolith.

As far as antisemitism, yes it has spiked everywhere in recent years including the USA. There is always a baseline of it but it goes up and down in waves.

You're referring to what are called VISIBLE Jews. But it's not a black and white thing. A very assimilated Jew named Goldberg will still be visible just based on the name unless the name is changed which many Jews have felt pressured to do (and much worse historically see the Spanish Inquisition) which is really unfortunate.
