A Jewish family in a supposedly progressive neighborhood of Bristol, England, is seeking to relocate to a new area after facing rising antisemitism, especially since Hamas's October 7 massacre and the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas War, British outlet The Sunday Times reported last week. A family in their neighborhood found out that they were Jewish and asked, "Well, you're not Zionists, are you?" This development led the family to worry about their child attending this school, and to search for a home in a more "neutral neighborhood." It was "perfectly normal" for people to talk about their racial heritage and which protests they had participated in, he commented. UK Jewish family says they were 'tested' to see if they were Zionists"People are regularly testing you.
