In Defense of English cooking.

The Muslim population in that area is about 15%, since we live in a liberal area that’s where they settle. And we see the consequences, ESPECIALLY in the high schools, where antisemitism is now rampant.

Also, the mall wasn’t like this 20 years ago. It was normal - anchored by MACYs and Lord and Taylor. Now, it looks like Saudi Arabia.

Having a large Muslim population ANYWHERE in the US is bad news.

The USA has its own history of antisemitism. Ken Burns did a documentary on that very topic and the Holocaust.

Reminds me of a joke:

What is Heaven? Heaven is where the Italians do the cooking, the Brits are in charge of protocol, and the Germans organize the place.

So what is Hell? Hell is where the Brits do the cooking, the Germans oversee protocol, and the Italians organize the place.

Yes I've heard that one and its variants.

Like the British joke about WW2. When the British fired Germans took cover when Germans fired the British took cover, and when the Americans fired everyone took cover!

There are a lot of videos out there "British try [enter popular American food]"
And overwhelmingly they will say what we eat taste better. Like at least 90% of the time.

Oh, I know. My dad graduated at the top of his engineering program, and still couldn’t get a job in antisemitic NYC post-WWII. Same with my uncle. They weren’t hiring Jewish boys, no matter how smart.

But speaking in terms of my lifetime, the antisemitism is worse than it’s ever been. It correlates with the influx of Muslims, and it’s apparent in the schools. The higher the Muslim percentage, the worse the bullying of Jewish kids.

I am ashamed, given the immigration to the USA of so many of my countrymen, that your commercially produced beer remains dire. The Reinheitsgebot was jettisoned in exchange for profit that led to ice-cold watery fizz.

If I want to drop five pounds, I can either go to a weight-loss camp (which would be overkill), or take a 2-week vacation to London.

(Of course, the Muslims have made London so antisemitic that I wouldn’t go there now.)

Blame the WASPs

Are you certain it is all the fault of Muslims? There is a rather unpleasant rump of Christian and/or RW Americans who still hold antisemitic views. Look at the vile language and diatribes directed at George Soros.

I lose 5 pounds when I go to Scotland for 10 days and the food is great but you walk 3-4 hours a day and climb stairs. I go every year have family there.

It’s the Muslims. Until fairly recently, the schools were fine - and majority Christian. Now that the Muslims have invaded, they’re marching around outside the high school chanting “Death to Jews” and beating up the Jewish kids.

It’s the Muslims. And the more they come in, the worse it is.

Oooooo…..good idea! I’ve never been and would love to go. How is the antisemitic atmosphere there?

What about Ireland? I’d love to do a trip and combine those two countries.

Your selected instance does not really prove your allegation.

If a black family is attacked and assaulted by some of the whites living in their area does that prove that all whites in that entire country are anti-black?

We have craft beer, some of the best in the world. Consistently winning awards.

And the watered down macro beer was not "jettisoned for profit". It was replaced for "beer for the masses". As American cities grew, the demand for beer was greater than the supply. So - just water it down. And that is what happened.
Then came the macros you speak of - the corn and rice beers. Corporate brewers began adding corn and rice to the mill because it is much cheaper than barley. Rice is usually preferred because it adds no flavor, and gives the fake beer a clean/crisp finish.

I never said “all.” But there has been a definite upswing in antisemitism in this liberal area, now 15% Muslim. It’s correlated,

I’m following an American doing a podcast around Britain.

He’s raving about the food.

Oh I agree but given the large numbers of German immigrants to the USA it is such a shame that German standards were not upheld by the large breweries.

Beer for the masses = for profit. I always smile at Homer Simpson's Duff Beer.

Hmm... you did write this:

Yes, and that still doesn’t mean all. But because antisemitism is so prevalent among Muslims, that means that antisemitism will be worse in areas with high concentrations of them. That’s why the local schools have gotten so bad, and why Jewish parents are pulling their kids out.

It’s better for Jews when there aren’t large numbers of Islamists nearby.
