US Considering Asylum for British Jews to Flee Antisemitic UK
The Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to Britain’s Jews to allow them to flee the antisemitic UK, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Robert Garson has said. The Telegraph has the story.
Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he had been in talks with the State Department about providing sanctuary for Jews fleeing antisemitism in the UK.
Garson, who was born in Manchester, told the Telegraph that the UK was “no longer a safe place for Jews”.
He said the Islamist attack on a Manchester synagogue and the widespread antisemitism evident in the wake of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel had led him to conclude British Jews should be offered refuge in the US.
In an interview with the Telegraph, Garson said he could see “no future” for Jews in the UK and laid much of the blame on Sir Keir Starmer for allowing antisemitism to flourish.
Garson said he had raised the idea of offering the US as a safe haven to British Jews with Mr Trump’s antisemitism tsar in his capacity as a board member of the US Holocaust Memorial Council. Trump appointed Garson to the council last May after firing board members appointed by Joe Biden. …
Garson, a former London-based barrister who moved to the US in 2008, said: “The UK is no longer a safe place for Jews. I have spoken to the State Department as to whether the President should be offering British Jews asylum in the US.
“It is certainly not an unattractive proposition. It is a highly educated community. I have spoken to people in the State Department and I have mentioned it in my role on the Holocaust Museum board.
“It is a populous that speaks English natively, that is educated and doesn’t have a high proportion of criminals. There were conversations.”
Garson, who lives in Florida and whose connections to the Trump administration are becoming increasingly influential, added: “When I look at what is going on with Jews in Britain, and when I look at the changing demographics, I don’t believe – and I have discussed this with people in the Trump administration – that there is a future for Jews in the United Kingdom. For me, that is particularly sad.”
He accused the Crown Prosecution Service of failing to uphold the law in its refusal to bring charges against protesters “on the streets of Britain who had glorified in the rape or death of Jews” after the October 7th 2023 Hamas attacks.

It’s a bit hypocritical to criticize alleged failures of the CPS to prosecute people for speech-based hate crimes from the USA. Especially when considering this:

I wonder if The Donald would extend this idea?
Maybe we can all convert to Judaism quickly
It might involve a brief spell in hospital to recover…
Sorry, but I think this is just ridiculous.
Keir Starmer is Jewish himself, therefore holding the post of UK Prime Minister illegally, and he and his Jewish wife are raising their children in the Jewish religion. You can’t call devoutly Jewish people “anti-Semitic”.
This Robert Garson is a “board member of the US Holocaust Memorial Council”, so it seems there are not only plans to build a huge Holocaust Memorial right next to the British Parliament (funded by British Taxpayers?), but also in the USA (funded by American Taxpayers?). What is the symbolism here?
May I just point out that it was the British & Americans, and their Allies, who died in their thousands to rescue the Jews from Hitler, there was NO HOLOCAUST in the US or the UK, and WE DO NOT NEED REMINDING of the Holocaust that did not happen here.
Isn’t it strange how THOUSANDS OF CHURCHES have been attacked in the UK, including attacks on the clergy, mostly ignored by the media, but when ONE UK SYNAGOGUE is attacked, it becomes an international emergency.
No he’s not Jewish. Only his wife is. Why are you so comfortable sounding off about things like you’re some sort of authority on the subject yet you’re so reluctant to ever provide any sources to back up your random claims?
”Keir Starmer, whose wife is Jewish, was sworn in Friday by King Charles III after the Labour Party won in a landslide. Though Starmer himself is not Jewish, his children are being raised Jewish and he says the family will continue to gather for Shabbat dinners while he is running the country.
The Starmers belong to the Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St Johns Wood, in London, which describes itself as an “inclusive, diverse and egalitarian community” committed to social justice and welcoming of non-Jewish partners.
They’re raising their kids “to recognize the faith of part of their grandfather’s family,” Starmer said.”

”His mother attended St John’s Anglican Church in nearby Hurst Green, while his father was an atheist. He was nominally “brought up Church of England”.

Jews are calling other Jews anti-semitic all of the time. In modern parlance, that’s “opposed to politics of the government of Israel”, nothing else. People who are get smeared as anti-semites by said government and it really doesn’t matter who they are. Recently, there was an article about people eating at a restaurant getting harassed by “Gaza protestors”. This was, of course, very anti-semitic of them. Despite they were Jews¹.
¹ This is not supposed to be interpeted as expressing support for this action. Being opposed to the politics of the government of Israel is one thing but harassing people peacefully visiting a restaurant to eat there an entirely different one. The police ought to have shut this down. Self-help measures of the people targetted in this way or those whose restaurant it was had IMHO also been entirely appropriate.
Is Keir Starmer Jewish? – Karl’s Substack
“‘I don’t know how many people know this but my… um… parent’s family are Jewish and we’ve got extended family in Israel that we feel this [our Jewishness] every day. I don’t… um… describe myself as a Zionist but I understand, I sympathise and I support Zionism. So, I wouldn’t describe myself in that way but of course you know we have family in Israel and that is part of my family.’ ” Keir Starmer
Karl’s Substack on Semitic Controversies said:
“So yes, while previously I believed that Starmer himself wasn’t Biologically Jewish but rather… shall we say… Culturally Jewish: now I am happy to say that I was wrong and that we know that he is not only Culturally Jewish but also Biologically Jewish.”
“Starmer has called Shabbat a “rock in the week,” describing Friday night dinners, with CHALLAH and KIDDUSH, as “really nice and really special.”
“Combating antisemitism, and standing with the Jewish community, have been an important part of Starmer’s “changed” Labour Party. This has triggered a 50 point swing to Labour among Jewish voters.”
Is Keir Starmer Jewish? The traditions that he could be bringing to Downing Street – The Jewish Chronicle
There’s many online saying that clip has been edited, and it’s strange the camera pans out for when he his speaking so it’s hard to tell if he’s saying these words or not. But I will drop the 40sec clip below for people to watch and make their own minds up;

This is The Jewish Chronicle’s article on this very event. You can see here what he reportedly said;
”Labour leadership hopeful Sir Keir Starmer has told a packed Jewish Labour Movement hustings that he would not “describe myself as a Zionist” but insisted: “I understand and I sympathise and I support Zionism.”
Speaking to an audience of more than 750 people at St Johns Wood Liberal Synagogue, the Shadow Brexit Secretary added: “I don’t know how many people know this – my wife’s family are Jewish and we have got extended family in Israel. We feel this every day.”
In a surprising development Sir Keir was the only leadership candidate not to describe themselves as a “Zionist” after being put on the spot by ITV political editor Robert Peston, who hosted Thursday’s event.”

Well, as a white heterosexual male, I must be quite high on the at risk list, so where’s the queue?
Well, we used to joke about the Jewish population in our neighbourhood being larger than that of Jerusalem. But no longer. True they had some exclusive societies, but were generally well-integrated, peaceable members of society (unlike those who’ve come since). Then the demographic started to change. There was a vicious attack at one of the local synagogues. Jewish schools needing to increase security, following incidents and threats.
Our then Jewish MP lost his seat, unable to campaign due to death threats. The seat was taken by Wes Streeting, but who’s merely keeping it warm until the pro-Palestinian block vote ousts him at the next election. I quite understand why Jewish people no longer feel safe here.
I can quite understand why NO WHITE PERSON feels safe here.
Are the Muslim Rape Gangs targeting Jewish children?
NO.
Or Ethnic African children?
NO.
Or Ethnic Indian Subcontinental children?
NO.
Are the attacks with knives, machetes and claw hammers targeting Jewish people? NO.
Have thousands of Jewish synagogues been attacked, like Christian churches & clergy?
NO.
WHO ARE THE MAIN VICTIMS of all the sexual assaults, arson, and racially-motivated murders in the UK by Third World Ethnics?
WHITE PEOPLE. Not Jewish people.
Jewish people are obviously also among the victims. But they have powerful lobby groups fighting for them, not the least the government of Israel and it’s generally accepted that they can be victims. Neither of both is the case for people who are merely European (or of European descent) aka white people.
Exactly. Please have look at this news: Marxist Gangs actually invaded a Christian Sunday church service in Minneapolis yesterday, shouting, chanting and screaming about “comfortable white people”, and Ethnic African American news presenter Don Lemon joined the church invaders, broadcasting in his usual smug, smirking manner. He even harassed the pastor, who kept trying to politely get away from him. Some Christian children were in tears, and most of the congregation was forced to leave because the service was completely drowned out by the screaming protesters. They targeted this church because the congregation is mostly white.
This would never happen in a Muslim mosque, Hindu/Sikh temple, or Jewish synagogue. But Christians are always an easy target.

He should note that they are mostly Labour voters (so presumably would become Democrats) and all have an automatic right to make aliyah to Israel. So there is an escape route for them. None for the rest of us. How about us right-wing Trump supporters?!
If this goes ahead, could the USA offer sanctuary to all ethnically English, Scots, NI and Welsh citizens who would like a safe haven from the Marxists who are determined to eradicate their nations.
