(Jewish News) The chairman of one [of] the UK’s top Jewish charities provoked dismay among community leaders this week after claiming immigration into this country would leave Jews with “no future in England.”
Asked about comments made to an Israeli newspaper earlier this month in which he predicted a gloomy future for UK Jewry, Jewish National Fund UK chairman Samuel Hayek told Jewish News:
“The process is that maybe in 10 years, maybe less, who knows, Jews will not be able to live in the UK. I don’t think anybody can stop it.”
Pressed on what evidence there was to support his claim, Hayek added: “The evidence is the number of immigrants to England. The demographic of British society is changing. Historical events sometimes take long to identify. It is clear England is changing.”
