ANTI-SEMITISM IN ENGLAND
Sir, —Many of your readers will have lifted their eyebrows somewhat at the comments made by the Dean of Wellington on his return from oversea, as to the growth of anti-Semitism in England. Of all people, one would expect a Dean to be better informed as to the descendants of Shem. The Arabs are as much a Semitic people as are the Jews; and there is no hostility to them either in England or in the British Empire as such. Because one dislikes the Jew and his ways, one is not thereby an “anti-Semite.” But the Jews like to use the expression in this way; it serves their purpose, and many unsuspecting Gentiles fall for it. I am not an anti-Semite, but I dislike the Jew, dislike his ways and his philosophy.—Yours, etc., ANOTHER PARSON. December 14, 1948.
