A new report suggesting the U.S. could consider asylum for British Jews is more than a headline — it is a warning light. When Jewish communities feel unsafe in a nation long viewed as a stable Western ally, believers should pay attention, not with panic or partisan outrage, but with sober discernment and biblical clarity.
Antisemitism is not a new phenomenon. But the mainstreaming of anti-Jewish hostility in public life — and the fear it produces — echoes a larger end-time reality Jesus described: increasing lawlessness, hatred and persecution, paired with global instability (Matthew 24).
What the Reports Say
Recent coverage from CBN News describes a climate in the U.K. in which Jewish citizens report harassment, intimidation and growing concerns for personal safety — including claims of Jewish businesses being targeted and some Jews feeling pressure to meet quietly or under heightened security.
CBN also highlights comments from Gideon Falter, head of Britain’s Campaign Against Antisemitism, who said British Jews are “extremely worried about their future,” and that the idea of asylum — once unthinkable — no longer feels far-fetched to many.
The U.S. angle: Proposal vs. policy
The asylum discussion appears to trace back to statements from Robert Garson, a British-born Jewish attorney and personal lawyer to President Donald Trump, who said he raised the possibility with U.S. officials. However, The Times of Israel reported there has been no public indication of an actual U.S. government plan, and the State Department did not respond to a request for comment.
That distinction matters. “Considering” and “implementing” are not the same thing — and Christians should resist treating early-stage reporting as settled fact.
Why British Jews Say They Feel the Ground Shifting
CBN’s report describes incidents and social pressures that, taken together, have left some British Jews feeling increasingly isolated — including vandalism targeting kosher products and fears among Jewish students on campus.
The same reporting notes that after a Manchester synagogue attack last year, Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised to crack down on antisemitism, yet polling cited in the report suggests many British Jews do not believe the government is doing enough.
A key reality: This is not only a U.K. problem
CBN also acknowledges antisemitism is rising in the United States as well. That should keep the conversation from turning into smug national comparison. The deeper issue is spiritual and cultural: when societies harden against biblical truth, hostility toward the Jewish people often increases right alongside hostility toward faithful Christians.
Biblical Context Without Sensationalism
Scripture repeatedly shows that hatred toward the Jewish people flares in different eras and places — sometimes suddenly, sometimes gradually — and often under political, ideological or religious coverings. For Christians, the call is not to force every headline into a prophecy chart, but to watch and pray with understanding (Matthew 24:42; 1 Thessalonians 5:6).
Endtime has long taught that the end-time system will pressure nations and peoples toward conformity, and that lawlessness and persecution will increase as the world moves toward the final prophesied crisis (Matthew 24; Revelation 13). None of this requires speculative claims — it requires clear eyes.

What We Know and What We Don’t
What we know
-
Reports describe growing fear among British Jews and examples of intimidation and harassment.
-
A U.S. proposal has been discussed publicly by Robert Garson, framed as a potential option for British Jews.
-
There is no confirmed U.S. policy announcement establishing a formal asylum pathway for British Jews.
What we don’t know
-
Whether any U.S. agency is actively drafting a program — or whether this remains informal discussion.
-
Whether U.K. conditions will improve or deteriorate in the months ahead.
What Believers Should Be Watching
Antisemitism is often a “signal flare” revealing broader instability — ideological radicalization, loss of moral clarity and weakened rule of law. When a society normalizes hostility toward Jews, it rarely stops there.
Three watchpoints for Christians:
-
Normalization: When anti-Jewish rhetoric becomes socially acceptable in media, academia or public life.
-
Institutional drift: When authorities appear hesitant or inconsistent in confronting intimidation and violence.
-
Global patterning: When similar pressures surface across multiple Western nations at once, suggesting more than isolated local issues.

Watch and Pray With Confidence
Stories like this can stir anger or fear — but neither is the Christian response. We grieve when any community is threatened, we reject antisemitism as evil and unbiblical, and we pray for leaders to act justly.
Most of all, we remember: God is not pacing heaven’s floors. He is sovereign, His Word is sure, and He told us ahead of time the world would grow darker before Christ’s return (Matthew 24). Our assignment is steady — discernment, compassion, truth and prayer.
