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.

Welcome to the club.
