Leo Pearlman: Will Israel’s election fix the West’s antisemitism?

Writing in Arutz Sheva, London-based documentary producer Leo Pearlman argued that a change of leadership in Israel will not cure the surging antisemitism seen in Britain and the United States. He pointed to recent political developments, including electoral rhetoric in America and policy decisions by political parties in Britain, noting that Western politicians increasingly exploit hostility toward Israel for electoral gain. Citing data from the Community Security Trust and reports on English schools, Pearlman expressed deep concern over the growing lack of safety for Jewish students and citizens. He emphasised that Jewish children in British schools, Jewish business owners in Philadelphia, and observant Jews in Brooklyn are targeted simply for being Jewish, and Israel owes no change of leader or policy to solve this domestic Western failure.
