This
page
is a
little about the Jews who have
contributed to the British Way of
Life.
Many were born elsewhere and either
by choice or neccesity landed on
British shores, Others like Jules
Styne and Jerry Springer were born
in
Britain but made their name in the
USA. And others like Felicity Kendal
and Elisabeth Taylor converted to
Judaism. Others had just one Jewish
parent. This list includes England,
Ireland, Scotland &
Wales. Prior to this list the
only monuments to well known
British
Jews were the chairs in the now
long-gone Isows Restaurant in Brewer
Street, London. Each had a name on
the chair.- Progress means the
Internet can replace those
chairs. We have obviously
missed out
many more and we invite
readers and/or the relations of our
selections to assist us with
pictures or information. Thank you-

Henry
Makow (born
November 12, 1949) is a
Swiss-born Canadian Jewish
author and self-appointed
conspiracy
researcher. He is
notably the inventor of the
board game Scruples.
Makow is known for
his acrid criticism of
homosexuality and feminism
which he asserts to be ploys in
the NWO scheme of destroying the
fabric
of society, i.e. inter-human
relationships. He
has tried to use
this page as an example of his
lack of
knowledge about British Jewry
and British History, pointing
people of
similar ilk to a list of Jews
who have contributed immensely
to both
British & World peace &
advancement. In order to protect
those
people we withdrew this page and
informed the author of his
obvious errors.
He withdrew the
article, however some other
websites have reproduced this
erroneous
page. We are able to monitor
them and pass the information on
to the
appropriate authorities Those
who are based in the UK are
liable to be
sued under the Prevention From
Harassment Act 1997, which under
s.2.2
may result in a criminal
conviction and up to 6 months
imprisonment
and/or a class 5 fine. Any
further repeat by such people to
do
the same will
only result in us publishing
such behaviour and reporting
them to the
appropriate authorities. We
apologise to our many readers
(30 million
in 2008 & 38 million
so far in 2009), but we will not
allow our pages to be used or
referred
to for such outrageous untrue
propaganda. Now one of them has
copied
our page in contravention of the
laws of copyright and we have
instructed our lawyers to sue
for damages.
As various
groups of people, who for
some reason fear the Jewish
People are
advertising this page as an
example of something
sinister- we are now
adding what eminent non-Jews
say about the Jewish People.
On a recent
programme on Christianity
the BBC acknowledged that
Christianity is
indeed a sect of Judaism.
"Some
people like the
Jews, and some do not. But no
thoughtful man can deny
the fact that they are, beyond
any
question, the most formidable and
the most remarkable race which
has appeared in the world."
-- Winston Churchill
|
"The
Jew is that sacred being who has
brought down from heaven the everlasting
fire, and has illumined with it
the entire world. He is the religious
source, spring, and fountain out
of which all the rest of the peoples
have drawn their beliefs and
their religions."
--
Leo Tolstoy
|
"It
was in vain that we
locked them up for several
hundred years behind the walls
of the
Ghetto. No sooner were their
prison gates unbarred than they
easily
caught up with us, even on those
paths which we opened up
without
their aid."
-- A. A. Leroy
Beaulieu, French publicist, 1842
|
"The
Jew gave us the
Outside and the Inside - our
outlook and our inner life. We
can hardly
get up in the morning or cross
the street without being Jewish.
We
dream Jewish dreams and hope
Jewish hopes. Most of our best
words, in
fact - new, adventure, surprise,
unique, individual, person,
vocation,
time, history, future, freedom,
progress, spirit, faith, hope,
justice
- are the gifts of the Jews."
-- Thomas Cahill, Irish
Author
|
"One
of the gifts of the Jewish
culture to Christianity is that
it has
taught Christians to think like
Jews, and any modern man who has
not
learned to think as though he
were a Jew can hardly be said to
have
learned to think at all."
--
William Rees-Mogg, former
Editor-in-Chief for The Times of
London and a
member of the House of Lords
|
"It
is certain that in
certain parts of the world we
can see a peculiar people,
separated from
the other peoples of the world
and this is called the Jewish
people....
This
people is not
only of remarkable antiquity but
has also lasted for a singular
long
time... For whereas the people
of Greece and Italy, of Sparta,
Athens
and Rome and others who came so
much later have perished so long
ago,
these still exist, despite the
efforts of so many powerful
kings who
have tried a hundred times to
wipe them out, as their
historians
testify, and as can easily be
judged by the natural order of
things
over such a long spell of years.
They have always been preserved,
however, and their preservation
was foretold... My encounter
with this
people amazes me..."
-- Blaise
Pascal, French Mathematician
|
"The
Jewish vision became the prototype
for many similar
grand designs for humanity, both
divine and man made The
Jews, herefore, stand
at the center of the perennial
attempt to give human life the
dignity of a purpose."
--Paul
Johnson, American Historian
|
"As
long as the world lasts, all
who want
to make progress in
righteousness will come to
Israel for inspiration
as to the people who
had
the
sense for righteousness most
glowing and strongest."
--Matthew
Arnold, British poet and critic
|
"If
there is any honor in all the
world
that I should like, it would
be to be an honorary Jewish
citizen."
--A.L Rowse,
authority on Shakespeare
|
"Indeed
it is
difficult for all other nations
of the world to live in
the
presence of the Jews. It is
irritating and most
uncomfortable.
The Jews embarrass the world as
they have done things which
are
beyond the imaginable. They have
become moral strangers since
the
day their forefather,
Abraham, introduced the world to
high
ethical standards and to
the fear of Heaven. They brought
the
world the Ten
Commandments, which many nations
prefer to defy.
They violated the rules of
history by staying alive,
totally at
odds with common sense and
historical evidence. They
outlived all
their former enemies,
including vast empires such as
the Romans
and the Greeks. They
angered the world with their
return to their
homeland after 2000 years
of exile and after the murder of
six
million of their brothers
and sisters.
They
aggravated
mankind by building, in
the wink of an eye, a
democratic State
which others were not able
to create in even hundreds
of years.
They built living monuments
such as the duty to be
holy and the
privilege to serve one's
fellow men. They had
their hands
in every human progressive
endeavor, whether in
science,
medicine, psychology or any
other discipline, while
totally
out
of proportion
to their actual numbers. They
gave the world the Bible
and even
their "savior."
Jews
taught
the world not to accept
the world as it is, but to
transform it,
yet only a few nations
wanted to listen. Moreover, the
Jews
introduced the world to
one God, yet only a minority
wanted to
draw the moral
consequences. So the nations of
the world realize
that they would have been
lost without the Jews.. And
while their
subconscious trie s to
remind them of how much of
Western
civilization is framed in
terms of concepts first
articulated by
the Jews, they do anything
to suppress it.
They
deny that Jews
remind them of a higher
purpose of life and the need to
be
honorable, and do anything
to escape its consequences. It
is
simply too much to handle
for them, too embarrassing to
admit,
and above all, too
difficult to live by.
So
the nations of
the world decided once
again to go out of 'their'
way in order to
find a stick to hit the
Jews. The goal: to prove
that Jews are as
immoral and guilty of
massacre and genocide as
some of they
themselves are.
All
this in
order to hide and justify their
own failure to even protest
when
six million Jews were brought to
the slaughterhouses of
Auschwitz
and Dachau; so as to wipe out
the moral conscience of
which the
Jews remind them, and they found
a stick.
Nothing
could
be more gratifying for them than
to find the Jews in a
struggle
with another people (who are
completely terrorized by
their own
leaders) against whom the Jews,
against their best wishes,
have
to defend themselves in order to
survive. With great
satisfaction, the world allows
and initiates the rewriting
of
history so as to fuel the rage
of yet another people against
the
Jews. This in spite of the fact
that the nations understand
very
well that peace between the
parties could have come a long
time
ago, if only the Jews would have
had a fair chance. Instead,
they
happily jumped on the wagon of
hate so as to justify their
jealousy of the Jews and
their incompetence to deal with
their
own moral issues.
When
Jews look at
the bizarre play taking place in
The Hague, they can only
smile
as this artificial game once
more proves how the world
paradoxically admits the Jews
uniqueness. It is in their
need to
undermine the Jews that they
actually raise them.
The
study of
history of Europe during the
past centuries teaches us
one
uniform lesson: That the nations
which received and in any
way
dealt fairly and mercifully with
the Jew have prospered;
and that
the nations that have tortured
and oppressed them have
written
out their own curse."
--Olive Schreiner, South
African novelist and
social activist
