On Sunday Jewish families will sit down together across the U.K. to celebrate #RoshHashana.
A few things the haters need to know:
1/
We have done so, in the same way, for hundreds of years. We have sat in our British homes, in our British streets, in our British towns and cities celebrating a Jewish holiday without ever fearing for our future
2/
Now, thanks to the genie that Corbyn and his acolytes have let out the bottle, sadly, the conversation will not be solely about food, weather, family and jobs.
There will be another element that none of us want to be talking about!
3/
Does our future lie in the U.K?
4/
That we, proud British Jews, are even thinking this let alone actually discussing it is a truly sorry state if affairs.
But we are!
We have been forced to.
5/
In recent years, since Corbyn first became leader, this small but remarkable community has felt so threatened and pressurised by the constant drip of antisemitism seeping, nay, oozing out of the left that many of us feel our only option could be to leave our home!
6/
So let’s be clear. If 120,000 Jews decided - in the event of Corbyn becoming PM - that they must indeed leave, many heading for Israel, the real losers would in fact be the U.K.
You wouldn’t have ‘won,’ in fact totally the opposite
7/
You would only have succeeded in making the worlds only Jewish state even more vibrant, dynamic and successful than ever before and the loss to the U.K, not just economically, but in the very fabric of U.K. life, much the poorer!
8/
The Jewish state, the state you despise with such venom and anger, the state you consider to be the root of all the worlds troubles, would simply become an even better place as a direct result of your hatred for Jews
9/
How’s that for irony!

Hey @LBC, you've just posted the heart breaking clip of 'Mandy from Edgware' in tears on the @MaajidNawaz. She clearly feared for her future as a proud Jew & Zionist here in the U.K.
These are some of the comments from under the post!
Here's the latest ones! They all seem to be on a similiar theme!
Just in case you weren't aware @LBC, it is of course all your fault!

Last night approx. 90 people, mainly from the Jewish com. went to see a film - ‘An Israeli Love Story’ @dukesatkomedia in Brighton. What happened both outside the venue & inside left the mainly elderly audience asking if it was safe to leave once the film was finished. 1/
This was #Brighton/#Hove, a City of Sanctuary, liberal, tolerant, diverse. But not for all it’s residents! Over the last number of years we have increasingly been intimidated & bullied by those hiding behind their ‘pro-Palestinian’ agenda.

They have used every possibly opportunity to shout & scream at anything with even the most tenuous link to Israel. Not just politics or politicians, but shops, dance performances and last night, a film.
