Efrati wrote in response that the Islamization of Europe was better than a Christian Europe for ethical and theological reasons - as a punishment against Christians for persecuting the Jews and the fact that Christianity, as opposed to Islam, is considered "idolatry" from a halachic point of view. "Jews should rejoice at the fact that Christian Europe is losing its identity as a punishment for what it did to us for the hundreds of years were in exile there," the rabbi explained as the ethical reason for favoring Muslims, quoting shocking descriptions from the Rishonim literature (written by leading rabbis who lived during the 11th to 15th centuries) about pogroms and mass murders committed by Christians against Jews. "We will never forgive Europe's Christians for slaughtering millions of our children, women and elderly… Not just in the recent Holocaust, but throughout the generations, in a consistent manner which characterizes all factions of hypocritical Christianity… "A now, Europe is losing its identity in favor of another people and another religion, and there will be no remnants and survivors from the impurity of Christianity, which shed a lot of blood it won't be able to atone for."

London is polarised - very rich, very poor - with the two elements living in very close proximity to each other. However, no area of London, not even the most exclusive, is entirely safe, particularly at night.

I lived in London in 1980/1. There were gangs of skinheads around and plenty of crime. There were the Brixton riots. People who say it was wonderful in the past either have rose tinted glasses or weren't there.

@@user-hf1pg2ey6l you walk around with an expensive watch in London for the last 30 years you're asking to be robbed. All of a sudden London is full of middle class outsiders and robbery is a problem. 🤫

[@andsowot]

@@jazztheglass6139 know it well and you should know that rich people were always being robbed left and right. Today we have this in our hands and it seems more prevalent. The biggest problem in London has been community breakdown from mass immigration and middle class gentrification that prices out working class communities that used to help stop violence etc.

I moved to London in 2003, left in 2014. When first there I could walk the dog all hours in Bayswater or Kensington. By the time I left, it wasn’t the same. I’m ready to leave the UK full stop. If Labour win, it’ll be over for the UK. Voting Reform for some hope.
