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- all correspondence iClick here

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."

African novelist and social activist
