The England We Once Respected

The future of Israel and its people will therefore rest on Israel's own ability to defend its nation...
Israelis will live, and thrive, in their homeland despite ill-intent by their enemies. After all, the Jews are sacred custodians of eternal truths and morality – as the Torah makes clear. The world needs them.
"Instead of demonizing and vilifying Israel, the world should be thanking Israel for being on the front lines in saving Western civilization and the free world." — Elon Gold, reported by David Suissa, The Jewish Journal, April 29, 2025.
As for England and all of Great Britain, the greatest empire of its time is no more -- long gone. Rule Britannia no longer rules anything, not even the streets of London.
Jews have a long history of residence in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, under King Edward I in 1290 CE, England was one of the first countries to expel Jews from its borders -- an event which Oliver Cromwell remedied in 1650, after nearly 400 years.
Since 1650, after a relatively undisturbed period in the UK of nearly another 400 years, publicly expressed animosity toward the Jews is escalating. Towards the end of April 2025, a British journalist who frequently appeared on the BBC's Arabic channel commenting on Gaza events, reportedly called for "Jews to be burned 'as Hitler did.'" The BBC lamely explained that the person was not "a member of staff nor part of the BBC's reporting team." Even so, the BBC – Britain's official broadcaster – has frequently allowed pro-Palestinian content and, by implication, anti-Jewish sentiment to be promoted.
