But the words I say aren’t just from my thoughts, they are experiences of people who I have met over the years. I worked have worked in schools where it’s a 100% Muslim population. I have talked to the teachers who experience horrific abuse on a daily basis (that’s all schools of course,) and I have seen how it’s rampantly ignored. I also worked in a Christian school in Bradford and I’ve seen people hang around the school at dismissal to intimate others. Grown ass men antagonising women in kids. It happens so often and people just don’t know how bad it is.
I don’t blame people for thinking the way they do. The internet has such a choke hold on what is okay to say/think and what not to think. People died at the Ariana Grande concert because people were too afraid to act on their suspicions in fear of being labled racist. I’m not saying that’s why they died… they were murdered in a terrorist attack, but perhaps more people could have been saved if authorities were properly warned about him.
I hate to derail the thread, this is supposed to be about antisemitism being ignored in middle class society. I’m only posting my personal experiences with how I’ve seen things happen.
That’s not to say that Muslim families experience hatred and racism too, we know it happens. Ive seen that happen to and it’s awful. I can honestly say that some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met are Muslim. Most of them a genuinely amazing people. But there are 100% people out there who use their race/religion as a threat against other people. They tell them that the police won’t do anything about it and they are right. I dread to think of how many teenagers (it wasn’t just girls who were gang raped) thought about how they would never be able to escape the cycle of torture and abuse they went through.
I am not good with words, it has never been my strong suit, but I truly believe that people just aren’t aware of how horrific some places are in the UK.

Of course there are bad people from all backgrounds and faith, but your conclusion that Muslims get away with everything and are protected by society and treated better than other religions, while Jews aren’t safe to walk the streets and are perpetual victims that nobody cares about just aren’t rooted in reality that you can see in the world on a daily basis, Muslim people in this country are in a constant state of danger from thick racists that just want to hurt them because of how they look or where they’ve come from, because other people who look like them have done bad things, Islamophobia is an accepted form of racism in the uk and America, by the media, by public figures and by the public, that’s just a fact, meanwhile you can’t even have an honest conversation about Israel and Zionism without being silenced by the media, fired from your job or being accused of antisemitism, the Israeli lobbies pay to have major influence over western media and politics so that they can push their propaganda at will and people lap it up, less and less every day thankfully, but that’s the case
