Anti-Semitism is on the rise in Great Britain, says Orim Shimshon, a British-Arab pro-Israeli protester and founder of My Zion Awakening.
Shimshon spoke Monday on the "Steve Malzberg Show" on
Newsmax TV.
"Absolutely. For instance, the Sunday Times depicted Ariel Sharon once drinking blood of a Palestinian child. We know the connotation of that is with the blood libel from hundreds of years ago," Shimshon said.

"Nothing much has changed. The only difference now is that they use the term 'Zionism' to code their hatred. They say boycott the Zionist entity now.
"They would say boycott Jewish businesses in the 1930s. It's more dangerous now than it was back then."
Shimshon, who was born in Iraq, says the political parties in his native country are anti-Semitic.
"I didn't want anything to do with them at all because anti-Semitism starts off to hate Jews and they go on to other people. As you can see, Christians have been murdered in Iraq."
Shimshon is frustrated by Secretary of State John Kerry's criticism of Israel as the U.S. tries to get the Jewish state to hammer out a peace deal with the Palestinians.
"John Kerry, he talks about the Palestinian boy who was murdered by three Israelis. He's forgetting that the Israelis arrested them within 24 hours, while the Palestinians didn't bother to arrest. In fact, they had them as heroes," Shimshon said.
"Yet he just turns a blind eye to it. If I look back to American history, no administration has been 100 percent pro-Israel or pro so-called settlements or anything like that. It's just been a 'peace process,' which is an illusion."
