Abstract
British Jews have largely benefited from multiculturalism. Although
diversity has won new respect for Jewish traditions, divisiveness has resulted
in new conflicts between Jews and Muslims, despite some common causes
(for example, regarding ritual slaughter and autopsies). There are also
tensions between Jews and sectors of the host society seeking the
consolidation of national identity. The danger of antisemitism, however, is
not coming from the workplace, the streets, or the brick through the
window, but from public discourse, and in particular from a hate campaign
against Israel in the media
