So is Islamophobia.
It's difficult to work out what's going on at the border so I am wary of what I'm reading in that area, certainly.
The rest of it pretty much speaks for itself.

I don’t see people setting fire to Muslim shops in London, throwing paint at Muslim schools in London. I don’t see Muslim children being kept off school in London. i don’t see Muslims being chased with a flag by someone with a knife in London. People accosted outside their local supermarket.
But I do see
people setting fire to Kosher shops in London
Jewish schools covered in red paint in London
Jewish children being kept off schools in London
Someone being chased for holding an Israeli flag, by someone with a knife, in London
Jewish people accosted outside their local supermarket in London.
I am thankfully not directly in London but I am terrified to mention to anyone that I am Jewish.
I am not okay. Parts of my family live on a kibbutz close to the one that was massacred by terrorists. They are still in a lockdown.
I am in the UK and I am living in fear because there are people in this country who want to wipe all Jews off the face off the earth.
People might feel wary and that might be classed as islamaphobia, but no one has come out and condemned a whole religion to death, in the same way that the Jews have been condemned to death.
