It was just one result among a blizzard of other poll results in a single survey. But one data point in the Harvard/Harris monthly survey of public opinion not only jumped out at observers like a five-alarm fire but also called into question the future security of American Jewry. Amid many other questions, the pollster asked a random sample of 2,034 registered voters the following question: “Do you think that Jews as a class are oppressors and should be treated as oppressors, or is that a false ideology?”
The question may have been loaded, and its results are, at least to some extent, contradicted by the answers to some of the other questions in the survey. But the fact that 67% of participants ages 18 to 24 responded that Jews are “oppressors” is deeply shocking though hardly surprising. If that proves an accurate assessment of opinion among generations that will lead the nation in the future, then it also means that the assumption on the part of many Jews that “it can’t happen here”—based on the idea of American exceptionalism setting it apart from other Western nations—will be proven wrong.

I suspect these findings could easily be replicated in the UK. They are deeply troubling and for the first time I am hoping and wanting the Jews in UK to pack up and go to Israel because I don’t believe their safety can be guaranteed, as evidenced by police response at demonstrations. Our police and politicians are full of fear and the enemy can see it clearly and is empowered by it. May the Lord have mercy upon the US and UK at this time and especially upon the Jews.
