From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
List of British Jews is a list of prominent
Jews from the
United Kingdom and its
predecessor states .
Although the first Jews may have arrived on the island of Great Britain with the
Romans , it was not until the
Norman Conquest of
William the Conqueror in 1066 that organised Jewish communities first appeared in
England . These existed until 1290 when the Jewish population of England was expelled by King
Edward I of England .
There was never a corresponding expulsion from
Scotland . The eminent scholar
David Daiches states in his autobiographical Two Worlds: A Scottish born Jewish Childhood that there are grounds for saying that Scotland is the only Immigrant country with no history of state persecution of Jews.
Jews were re-admitted to England and
Wales in 1656 by
Oliver Cromwell . Slightly more than 200 years later, in 1858 they were
emancipated , that is, accepted as full citizens. In the late 19th century, there was mass Jewish
immigration to England from Russia due to Russian domestic policy. In the 1930s, the country accepted many refugees from
Nazism . The Jewish population peaked at 450,000, but has since declined due to low birth-rate,
intermarriage and
emigration , mainly of the younger generation to
Israel . According to the
2001 census , the current population is around 295,000, most of whom live in
London .

"I don't think so", she says, stressing that she judged the case as an international lawyer and not because of her background. "I also think that the fact you happen to be Jewish doesn't mean you think that everything the State of Israel does is right."
When the Foreign Office put her name forward for election to the court, there were fears that some countries in the UN would not vote for a Jewish woman.
She dismisses such concerns. "I don't think I have ever been perceived as Rosalyn Higgins, the Jewish international lawyer – and I hope not Rosalyn Higgins, the woman international lawyer."
