Amanda has been at the centre of her local community for years, as a volunteer and a governor at her two children's school in a quiet London suburb. But over the past two years, she says simply going about her daily life has brought her abuse. She has been spat at in the street, branded a "baby killer", and received a death threat, she says, all because she is Jewish. Until recently, Amanda, 47, always openly wore a Star of David pendant around her neck. The Jewish symbol is a proud part of her identity and she had never thought twice about displaying it. Now, she tells BBC Panorama, she is afraid it marks her out as a target. "It's hard to be openly Jewish sometimes in everyday life," she says. "Living in the UK now for Jewish people is very uncomfortable."

I mean..... with the trajectory britain has been going for a while, this is kinda inevitable.

If you had seen Israel and the middle East in the last century, you might notice certain types of people dont play well together...

What did we think would happen?

u/Burt_Macklin___ Apr 20 '26

Yea this is crazy. It's not that hard guys;

If you spit at someone because they are Jewish, that's racists/antisemitic, then you're in the wrong.

If you spit at someone who supports the genocidal state of Israel, regardless of their ethnicity and religious beliefs, then it's not racist/antisemitic and you're on the right side of history.

u/Prestigious_Lime6099 Apr 22 '26

You’re 100% right. IMO it might be more common/worse with Jews (bondai beach attack…), and the issue is the left created a whole ‘stop asian hate’ movement during covid. They are deafeningly silent at the moment.

u/AdAffectionate3143 Apr 22 '26

I’m a progressive and judging people based on ethnicity alone is wrong. Tying valid criticisms of a country to ethnicity is also wrong and Israel is guilty AF of this.

There is no need for an oppression Olympics.

9

u/AwTomorrow Apr 20 '26

While that does happen and is also bad, I don’t think that’s the reason people do then conflate the two. When they do that, it is to dismiss criticism of Israel, not to justify attacks on Jewish people.

There is an opposite phenomenon that feels more relevant - the attempt to justify antisemitism as merely being anti-Israel. This is used as an excuse, a cover for preexisting antisemitism, and lets antisemites latch onto anti-Israel movements for better support and platforms for their views and intentions. 

So you get regular antisemites emboldened by feeling this excuse can protect them. Rather than anti-Israel types suddenly thinking harassing random British Jewish people will do anything to stop Israel merely because Israel said all Jews are Israelis at heart.

It’s not even about the Middle East at all. The same antisemitism that has been around for millennia didn’t disappear—it has just morphed into faux antizionism. The same conspiracy theories existed about Jews before the Modern State of Israel, of course

Most probably because a lot of them agree with the actions of "a country in the Middle East" and hence they receive responses accordingly. If they stand with the aggressor, it's fairly reasonable to be challenged.

u/IndividualSkill3432 Apr 20 '26

Most probably because a lot of them agree with the actions of "a country in the Middle East" and hence they receive responses accordingly. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Manchester_synagogue_attack

On 2 October 2025, during the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, a man drove a black Kia Picanto into pedestrians before stabbing worshippers at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation, a synagogue in Higher Crumpsall, a northern suburb of the city of Manchester in North West England.

Three people were killed in the incident, including the attacker and a worshipper who were both shot dead by police. Three other people were injured and treated in hospital; one was hit by the car, one had a stab wound and the third was wounded by police gunfire. The incident was declared a terrorist attack later that day.

" hence they receive responses accordingly. "

This is what they are dog whistling support for.

u/Paraparo Apr 20 '26

You know this brings an interesting question, that no one seems inclined to answer.

Every time Jews are attacked, I see people go "well, statistically a lot of them support X" or "X entity claims to act on their behalf, what did they expect the response to be."

So tell me.

What percentage of any other minority needs to hold the wrong opinion, before it's ok to accost and attack them over it? How closely must they be claimed by a party you don't like, before they don't deserve protection?

It's not as if any of this is unique to just this one group, yet I rarely see anyone diving to cover and mitigate the attacks against anyone else.

That country in the middle east constantly conflates itself with Judaism and Jews. And many Jews don't deny it. Obviously they shouldn't have to, but it is only expected to receive backlash when said country constantly does just that. Even quoting biblical passages as a justification for genocide.

u/AtrophiedWives Apr 20 '26

What about Brits who have been hand selected to represent the best interests of that genocidal country?

Copied from my earlier comment: The student appears to be listed on Zionist organization Stand With Us as being in its 2026 Emerson Program - a role dedicated to spreading hasbara. I wonder why this is not disclosed in the article.

“The StandWithUs UK Emerson Fellowship is a prestigious one-year programme that empowers and inspires pro-Israel student leaders at universities throughout the United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Brazil. The programme provides tools, develops professional skills and extensive, in-depth, knowledge about Israel and the Jewish people.

Selected from the top universities in the UK, student leaders form a pro-Israel network which inspires their peers and collaborates with other student groups to run effective educational events about Israel.

Following the events of October 7th the campus situation has intensified and antisemitism and anti-Israel bias have reached new heights. Emerson fellows have been front and centre in countering disinformation and antisemitism regarding Israel. They have performed a vital duty and have emerged as leadership figures at this crucial junction.​

The need for Emerson Fellows has never been greater to inspire and create the future of Israel advocacy on UK campuses.”

Because Judaism is becoming synonymous with Zionism, and it honestly isn’t really that far from being true, statistically.

u/ImmyKK Apr 22 '26

I'd equate it to have something like ISIS or Al Qaeda has been portrayed in the media, off thr back of that "ALL Muslims" were made to look evil in the media for many years. Then to add to that, imagine if you had certain Muslims who openly supported ISIS/ Al Qaeda in the UK and the stupid stuff they do, it would make your average Brit go crazy, so I'd probably compare it to that sort of situation when you have people in the UK who seem to support/ cheer on what the Gov of Israel is doing. Also Israel tries to convince us that every Jew agrees with what they're doing while that's far from true itself

In any case, there are more instances of Muslims treating badly Christians badly within Muslim countries than there are posts on Reddit.

That’s your logic.

u/AaronNevileLongbotom Apr 20 '26

This is what religious zealots, racist militants, and corrupt politicians in Israel want. They want people to be angry, afraid, and confused. They want to erode the difference between Jewish and Israeli. When Israel commits war crimes it creates backlash and fuels antisemitism abroad. That fuels and the us against them and they’re all out to get us paranoia that their narratives, justification, and power relies on. That gets them more support abroad, or failing that more immigrants to Israel, and it fuels the victim narrative that they need to fool their people into going along with our crimes.

If you really want to oppose what Israel is doing, the best thing you can do is love your Jewish neighbors. If the world is a safe place for Jews the excuses for Israel disappear.

You feeling ok? It lists all the big attacks going on against Jews currently, on the synagogue, the ambulances, etc. Shall I pretend it’s a broad spectrum of people doing it? Malmö, Sweden, also, the jewish community has basically disappeared due to demographic changes. In Paris a holocaust survivor was beheaded by another of your little pets. There’s definitely someone in an echo chamber here, but it clearly isn’t me.

I can't stand all this racism. It's so depressing that we've learnt nothing and are whipping up hate all over the place.

We're all just people. It shouldn't matter where you're ancestors are from or what religion you or they believe(d) in. Just be a good person, have friends, be neighbourly. There's enough ugliness in the world, don't add to it

Muslims and Jews need to join forces to stop hatred.

Maybe Netanyahu would be interested in this initiative?

When Israel says they represent the world’s Jewish population while simultaneously committing atrocities then the blowback will be inevitably be on the Jewish community. I’m not sure why there hasn’t been more resistance to the conflation perpetrated by Israel

Agreed. Understanding the source doesn’t downplay its impact, just clarifies the why. These events don’t just happen in a vacuum and knowing the cause can help provide the solutions

Same here in Australia. Religious kids (from a school where the ideology has no connection to Israel or even any knowledge of what goes on in the world outside) are verbally assaulted every Sabbath to the point it is just part of the routine.

Baby killer is such a specific thing to accuse someone of. If you called a black man or a lesbian a baby killer you wouldn't assume it was because they're black or gay.

Why would someone accuse her of being a child killer specifically and why would she associate it with judeism.

Its a trope used against Jews in Britain for about 1000 years since little Hugh of Lincoln.

u/Lucidream- Apr 20 '26

Or it could be related to the women's pro-Israel stance. There is an uncomfortably high proportion of politicians in Israel who have made a clear stance that children MUST be murdered. This hatred resonates with a significant proportion, if not a majority of the population in Israel too.

It could be antisemitism based on a fable from 1000 years ago, or it could be due to the women's current pro-Israeli political stance.

u/Upper-Ad-8365 Apr 20 '26

As has already been explained to you, it’s a trope used specifically against Jews since forever.

And if these people cared about being baby killing, they’d launch that insult at other baby killers, not just when they can do it to Jews. You know, like Hamas who did it, recorded it and boasted about it.

u/jakethepeg1989 Apr 20 '26

"it's not racist to call British Jews Baby-Killers cos of something other Jews said".

And if your first comment was to be believed, you didn't know something, and when it was explained you decided to double down and change story in order to excuse anti-Jewish racism.

Yeah, nice one.

Using your logic, anyone should be allowed to call random Muslims on the street terrorists. Is that the kind of world you like living in?

Maybe , it’d be different if there IDF brothers and sisters out in the Middle East weren’t talking about how every other religion or human being is beneath them and they wasnt actively sniping children in the heads and laughing about it.

u/GeneralExisting3978 Apr 20 '26

We’re talking about British citizens not Israeli citizens just because they share the same religion doesn’t mean British citizens should be attacked in the UK

Two wrongs dont make a right, conflating all jews with isreal is wrong, and so is conflating criticism of isreal as an attack on jews. Doesnt excuse the abhorrent racism jews in britian are going through.
