As far as I can work out the far-right as they are known have always hated Jews, I grew up in an NF stronghold in the 70's and casual racism about Jews was the norm, but then casual racism was the norm.
Now it appears that the left also hate Jews, despite the fact that Marx was Jewish as well as many other great thinkers (not that I'm a Marxist but plenty of people still like to try to impose his views in one form or another on other people, remember Animal Farm?)
As far as I can work out it stems from their determination to have their own homeland, where history tells us their homeland was before the 7 tribes were scattered to the winds for thousands of years where they lived as a persecuted minority across Eurasia and possibly parts of Africa. Much as I can accept creating Israel has involved an injustice against the Palestinians I can fully understand their desire to be safe amongst their own, particularly in light of the Holocaust. But then the same left turn a blind eye to similar injustices and sometimes we actively encourage them. Remember the conflict in Kosovo? As I understand it Kosovo was historically Serbian land and deeply important to them and when they tried to get it back we bombed the bejeesus out of them. Now it's Albanian land and the churches have all been razed. I know a few Albanians and they're not bad lads, but well.
And don't forget the Falklands, how can the Argentinians claim they have anything more than the most tenuous claim to it and those that think they should be given them never think to tell the Galtieri's to sod off back to Italy.
As for Northern Ireland, look at what a bloody mess that turned out to be due to our own desire to subdue the Irish, how we underestimated their resolve, they managed to make deep cuts at the top of our democracy and Royalty. When I was young the Irish were portrayed as thick.
But I'm getting a bit off topic anyway. I've only known a few Jews personally and I've found them all a bit difficult, but I did have a half Jewsish girlfriend for a while and her Jewishness wasn't an issue for me, she was just a bit hot tempered and I like calm.
But why does this seeming hypocrisy seem to afflict the left so much. When, as an ethnic Britain I complain about East London being taken over by foreigners and stating that I want it back I'm scum, but when the Palestinians say the same thing they're justified. I'm not supposed to worry that the Mayor of London is a Muslim Pakistani.
It all seems to stem from a seeming jealously of their wealth and power. If the Rothschilds run the World why couldn't they prevent the holocaust? Or all the other pogroms throughout history.
Look at it from another perspective, an evolutionary one. I understand the global Jewish Diaspora numbers about 14m but the global black diaspora is forecast to hit 2bn sometime this century. Who's winning the evolutionary race? Next time you listen to Neil Diamond or watch Owen Wilson in a Rom Com ask yourselves whether these are the sort of hook nosed butchers you hate, just as I love a lot of black derived music, blues, Al Green, Emilie Sande and I expect you all know the Animals didn't write House of The Rising Sun, how could a bunch of middle class Geordies ever understand the sentiment behind it.
I won't write too much more, I just wish all people would try to understand that life, the human condition and human desires and jealousies affect all of us and give things at least a bit more thought before nailing their colours to the mast. As far as I know Dawkins hasn't concluded that material wealth is an evolutionary imperative. We'll have to get used to that soon anyway, the Earth's resources are fixed and finite and need to be shared amongst an ever growing population.
Who is everyone? You mean every person? Everyone in the UK?
Jews - Do you mean Zionists, Israelis, non-secular Jews etc?
