	with Melanie Phillips
Britain’s Jewish community finds itself more beleaguered than at any time in living memory. At the same time, a significant number of British Jews deny that there is a significant problem and say such concerns are exaggerated. How are these tensions and disagreements to be explained? Who is right? And how has it happened that a country which so many of its Jews had assumed provided the most benign environment in the world appears to have turned against them? Is it all about Israel – or are other factors to blame? And where does all this leave the Jews of Britain? Melanie Phillips is a British journalist, author, blogger and broadcaster. She is best known for her controversial column about political and social issues which currently appears in the Daily Mail. Awarded the Orwell Prize for journalism in 1996, she is the author of Londonistan, an analysis of Britain’s appeasement of Islamist extremism, published in the US in 2006 by Encounter and in the UK by Gibson Square. She is also a regular panellist on BBC Radio Four’s The Moral Maze, and writes a monthly column for the Jewish Chronicle. Her regular blog can be found here.
