The Jewish diaspora must confront what Israel is doing in our name

Israel's minister of diaspora affairs and combating antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, is worried about the Jews in Britain.

In the aftermath of the hyperbolic media and political reaction to pro-Palestine chants at the Glastonbury music festival, Chikli posted on X that the Jewish community must "leave the country".

His reasons? The supposedly ubiquitous antisemitism across Britain, from the BBC to music fans, was threatening the "blood of Jews and Israelis living in Britain".

He added: "I am deeply disturbed by what is happening in Britain. In a place where antisemitism flourishes, society sinks into dark and dangerous depths...Without a conservative revolution, this country is lost."
