I’m still thinking about the admission in the UK’s “antisemitism” review contradicting widespread claims by the western political/media class that antisemitism is rising to dangerous levels throughout our society.

We discussed this yesterday, but as a reminder, the UK’s Department for Education released a review led by David Bell which the British press have been citing as evidence that rising antisemitism is an urgent problem in schools throughout the nation — claims which have been thoroughly debunked by outlets like Middle East Eye and Double Down News. That review contains the following quote:

British attitudes relating to Jewish people and Israel show two broad trends. Anti-Jewish attitudes are typically less prevalent and have remained more stable, whereas anti-Israel sentiments are more prevalent and have been increasing.

A few months ago I said, “You’re being told there’s a dangerous explosion of Jew hatred to cover up the fact that there’s actually a very healthy explosion of Israel hatred.” The Bell review is here admitting that my assertion is correct.

I just can’t get over what a massive admission this is. If we lived in a world where politicians and media cared about facts, This would be the leading story.
