Celebrating 350 Years of Our Misfortune

Posted by James Bowery on Wednesday, 14 June 2006 17:47.

Jewish communities across the UK are holding a year of commemorations to mark the 350th anniversary of the “readmission” of Jews to England.

The events of 1656 are popularly regarded as a watershed and, more widely, an important step in the development of a multicultural nation…

Oliver Cromwell had agreed, or at the very least turned a blind eye, to the return of some Jews who were also allowed to practise their faith openly in the UK.

More like he had agreed to turn a blind eye to the immigration despite the will of his people expressed by their representatives.

Sound familiar?

a nation becoming multicultural is a nation being destroyed, not developped. Was the destruction of England planned back in 1656 ?

BBC:

Menasseh ben Israel, the Rabbi who led the petition for return, also believed that there had to be Jews in every country in the world before the Messiah would return.

he must have told the protestant suckers that for JC to come back there had to be jews in every country and the idiots believed him.

Now when “the development of the multicultural nation” is recognized as a worse development then Communism, will Jews be taking credit for it as they do here? It is strange that when MacDonald makes the same observation in a less than grateful tone, he’s an anti-Semitic crank and conspiracy theorist, but when Jews report it themselves they’re celebrating Jewish culture. It all has to do with tone. If you’re not cheering, with a great sh*t eating grin, then you’re better off saying nothing about Jews.

JB, you are correct. Here is <a >a quote</a>:

My second Motive is, because the opinion of many Christians and mine doe concurre herein, that we both believe that the restoring time of our Nation into their Native Countrey, is very neer at hand; I believing more particularly, that this restauration cannot be, before these words of Daniel, Chap. 12. ver. 7. be first accomplished, when he saith, And when the dispersion of the Holy people shall be compleated in all places, then shall all these things be compleated: signifying therewith, that before all be fulfilled, the People of God must be first dispersed into all places and Countreyes of the World. Now we know, how our Nation at the present is spread all about, and hath its seat and dwelling in the most flourishing parts of all the Kingdomes, and Countreys of the World, as well in America, as in the other three parts thereof; except onely in this considerable and mighty Island. And therefore this remains onely in my judgement, before the Messia come and restore our ration, that first we must have our seat here likewise.
