Brit Church Signals That It Likes Jews to Be Quiet and Polite

When British Jews spoke out against church BDS efforts, it was too much for the anti-Zionists to bear, and they punished the Jews for their "rudeness" by embracing the boycott post haste:

This controversy showed the level of animosity for Israel that is entrenched in the culture of the state-supported Anglican hierarchy. But it also may betray the barely disguised anti-Semitism that runs through European and English discourse about Israel and Jews.  

This story may sum up in a nutshell the starkly different predicaments of American and English Jews. As one bishop pointed out, the problem wasn’t just that the Anglican bishops, clerics and laity are predisposed to think ill of Israel. It was also that they were offended by the lobbying efforts of Jews to get them to look at the issue differently. Apparently, the spectacle of Jews standing up for themselves rather than keeping quiet or, as is the case with a vocal but not insubstantial minority of British Jews, joining the chorus of Israel-bashers, was too much for them to stand...

Oh, those Jews. Always causing problems for people simply by existing.
