No matter their political affiliation, all sides can agree that Boris Johnson, who has secured his Conservative Party’s vote to become the United Kingdom’s next prime minister, is a colorful character.
As the mayor of London, a position he held for eight years until 2016, Johnson was lampooned by the media for his buffoonery. In one incident, he was wearing a helmet and waving British flags when he got stuck on a zip line that was supposed to be his dramatic entrance into the Olympic Park that year.
Also in ’16, his first year as foreign minister, Johnson was ridiculed for texting on his cellphone throughout Prime Minister Theresa May’s speech at the UN General Assembly in New York.
Those are just a couple examples of the clumsy but chummy style that has allowed Johnson, a 55-year-old journalist turned politician, to rise through the UK’s political ranks even while many of his rivals underestimated him.
He won London’s mayoral race twice, even as a Conservative running in a liberal stronghold. On Tuesday, Johnson clinched 66 percent of the vote in the party’s election to determine a successor to May, who failed to deliver Britain’s departure from the European Union. Since Conservatives won the last national balloting in 2017, they will stay in power and Johnson will become prime minister.
For British Jews, Johnson is a mixed bag because of his record on Israel, his own Jewish roots and his apparent disregard for the way many Britons expect senior politicians to speak about religious minorities.
1. Brexit on one side, Labour on the other
Unlike May, Johnson is a hardliner and longtime supporter of Brexit. In other words, he has committed himself to getting the United Kingdom out of the European Union no matter what, with or without a deal with EU officials (May had desperately tried to strike a deal).
This is risky because a no-deal Brexit would likely slow down the economy, which in turn could increase the chances that Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is elected after Johnson. Many British Jews believe that this would pose an existential threat to their community because of the explosion of anti-Semitism in Labour since Corbyn became its leader in 2015.
2. Boris feels Jewish (sometimes)
Johnson’s maternal great-grandfather, Elias Avery Lowe, was a Moscow-born Jew born to a textile merchant. Johnson confirmed this in a 2007 interview for the Jewish Chronicle.
“I feel Jewish when I feel the Jewish people are threatened or under attack, that’s when it sort of comes out,” Johnson said. “When I suddenly get a whiff of anti-Semitism, it’s then that you feel angry and protective.”
3. Still, Jews had complaints when he was mayor…
Throughout his tenure as London mayor, Johnson consistently ignored pleas from Jewish groups to ban the infamous pro-Palestinian Al Quds Day marches through London — events that have featured calls to kill Jews along with other anti-Semitic language and imagery. It was only last year that London police said they would intervene at the event to stop Hezbollah flags from flying. The move came with Sadiq Khan, a Labour politician and practicing Muslim, as mayor.
In 2014, Johnson called Israel’s attack on Hamas in Gaza “disproportionate,” and “ugly and tragic,” adding that “it will not do Israel any good in the long run.” He apparently tried to balance those remarks in the run-up to elections in the Conservative Party, which has seen a surge in support by Jews who have left Labour over its anti-Semitism problem, by calling himself a “passionate Zionist” who “loves the great country” of Israel. British politicians rarely call themselves “Zionists,” partly because of the actions of Zionist militants against British targets in prestate Israel.
“It’s totally unacceptable that innocent Israeli civilians should face the threat of rocket fire and bombardment from Gaza,” he said in a July 10 interview with the Jewish News.
4. … and when he was foreign secretary.
Despite a slew of pro-Israel statements and actions, Johnson is widely seen as responsible for getting the United Kingdom to help draft a UN Security Council resolution against Israel’s settlement policy. British Jewish leaders called the British role in the process a “disgrace,” and other supporters of the Jewish state described it as a betrayal.
Johnson has also been a supporter of the nuclear deal reached by Iran, the UK, the US and other world powers (the United States has since withdrawn from the agreement). Israel and its supporters are not big fans of the pact, which they say will allow the Islamic Republic to build a nuclear arsenal at close proximity to the Jewish state.
However, Johnson was the UK’s first foreign secretary to pledge to vote against Item 7, a permanent UN Human Rights Council agenda item that singles out Israel for criticism, the pro-Israel group BICOM noted. He has criticized UN bias against Israel, calling it “disproportionate and damaging to the cause of peace.”
5. Call him the British Trump
In the early days of Donald Trump’s presidency, Johnson spoke dismissively about the reality TV star turned politician, but the two have since built a positive relationship. On Tuesday, for example, Trump called Johnson a “good man” who is tough and smart.
Like Trump, Johnson has excited his right-wing base with derogatory statements about Muslims, which is making some British Jews uncomfortable.
"Good man," says Pres Trump of Britain's next Prime Minister Boris Johnson. "He's tough and he's smart," @POTUS tells conservative teen student summit. Says Johnson is known as "Britain's Trump. They like me over there," says @POTUS. pic.twitter.com/8LJfKULMpU

Last year, Johnson wrote a Daily Telegraph op-ed that mocked veiled Muslim women, saying that it’s “absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes.”
The chairman of the Jewish Leadership Council, Jonathan Goldstein, wrote on Twitter in response.
“Boris Johnson’s comments totally disgraceful,” the tweet said. “Extraordinary to think he was foreign secretary only a few weeks ago.”
Edie Friedman, chief executive of the Jewish Council for Racial Equality, condemned what she called Johnson’s “dog whistle racism.”
On Tuesday, the organized Jewish community struck a more cordial tone, congratulating Johnson on the nomination and recalling its “long and positive relationship” with him “as both Mayor of London and Foreign Secretary.” The Board of Deputies of British Jews “look[s] forward to this continuing as he enters Downing Street,” said Marie van der Zyl, the board’s president.
The more left leaning Liberal Judaism movement made a shorter statement on Twitter, that may have reflected the discomfort of many of the group’s constituents with Johnson.
The group “looks forward to working with @BorisJohnson, the new Prime Minister, as we have with Prime Ministers over the last decade,” the movement tweeted.
L@@k the fat public skoolboy oaf is a crypto jew.
They play both sides and even get married in church…ditto Cameron whose rich wife,according to Private Eye magazine….he was fucking.
So it was no cohencidence that all his wives have ALSO been jewish.Including the current one NutNut.
Its a bit like saying Trump is not a jew…..BUT all the evidence is there including his wives of course.
Obviously if Johnstein was rabidly pro Israel it would be too obvious…keep in mind he has to keep onside with AngloSaxon MPs….many of the great landholders have intermarried with jews….
Britains elite is largely crypto jewish.Even Churchills mother was a tribeswoman.
So its a balancing act…..Trump came close to blowing his cover by shifting the embassy along with the Golan stuff…..But he took these actions at precisely the right time…
Piffle, Johnson was recorded ploting to have someone beaten up. This recording was broadcast on UK C4. Boris won two Mayoral elections on the back of computer counted ballots which took many, many more hours than it should of. Even though Ken Livingstone increased his turnout, he lost. I don’t believe the results. As London mayor, Boris closed down numerous London fire stations, and these were subsequently sold to his property developer mates.
From very early on, before Boris’s official political career started, I was convinced he would be PM. Another fast-tracked shill, just like Tony Blair.
Boris’s libertarian persona is a pile of dog $#¡T.
Boris is American, and was forced to pay back taxes to the US regime. Boris does all he can to distance himself from the US, again, this is just an act so he doesn’t appear the Oval Office poodle that he is.
As to his popularity, you only need to look at the thicko British sheeple.
The UK is under foreign occupation. Even London’s mayor is a Pakistani.
It’s incredible. Can you imagine the mayor of Shanghai being a Paki? The Goyim are subverted to way beyond a comedic level. It’s actually frightening.
Almost everyone in Britain knows that the word “colourful” is the establishment’s euphemism for a “Dim-witted utter pillock”, so the author here is doing their best no to be too critical of Doris while appearing to be pissed off with him (for the sake of deceiving the Goyim of course). In fact that is the Talmudic spirit of this article, which is designed to mislead by making you believe that they are critical of Doris for not being Kosher enough, whereas their aim is the exact opposite; reinforcing his false image of a harmless, sometimes reckless, amusing, fluffy, and cuddly teddy bear, the opposite of what he really is, as the experience of every ordinary Goy Brit confirms in the last 3 years.
No way at all to call Johnson “the British Trump” as the above
newspaper editorial suggest.
Trump fought a long time to be able to build the wall against the
flood of migrants. Also he halted that nationals of some countires
could not enter USA. And other things more.
Boris did not do anything and still daily many migrants enter
UK by boat from France and Netherland.

Dont think that this is a good idea.)
He was chosen from birth to preside over this hoax, it has nothing to do with his “chummy” style. He has never been appointed because of any personal qualities but because he is a Donmeh, as are those behind the fake pandemic. That’s why he has no qualms about upsetting the Jewish vote – his cult is an inversion of Judaism. The lies surrounding the buffoon are legion: He has Churchillian resolve, he’s a patriot, he’s a polymath, he’s highly intelligent, he has charisma by the bucketful. All rubbish – his tenure as PM has revealed an empty shell with a Noel Coward accent who talked about Peppa Pig when lost his notes.
THE JEWS NEED THOSE THOUSANDS
BRAINPISSED GOYISH GOLEMS !
From the OP …
“… Johnson is a hardliner and longtime supporter of Brexit. In other words, he has committed himself to getting the United Kingdom out of the European Union …”
WRONG. Do your homework.
Johnson was previously an avid supporter of the EU. It was only when the Brexit campaign became a serious threat did he suddenly experience a Damascene conversion and become (boosted by the mass media – never a good sign) the poster-boy for Brexit, edging out Nigel Farage, the original founder of the campaign (another classic elite tactic).
In short, Johnson is a plant. Close examination of the UK’s ‘exit’ from the EU shows it to be a fraud.
He grew up part of the time in a Kibbutz He IS jewish as is the Gates family with mother of Bill being Mary Maxwell, he is part of Chabad the worst of the worst of the Hasidic groups and with their manufactured Noahide laws that exist only in their heads, all Christians are idolators who believe Jesus is God which is why Putin (Jew and son of a Cheka, former NKVD head and as evil as Bush, also Talmudic Jew and G H W Bush put in the Noahide as law of the US against the US Bill of Rights as there can be no law regarding religion but only the free practice of it)
It’s time to drag these people from their pulpit and hang them before they start putting all of us in Gulags of mass slaughter.
What did I say all along about Borish Johnson and Donald “King of Israel” Trumpenstein?
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

I have a new theory how Rothschild wrecks nations. He finds the dumbest political clowns and puts them in power, he goes back to his mansion and has his butler get him a serving of tea, turns on the tele to BBC and FOX news and watches his installed clowns wreck their respective nations.
“I feel Jewish when I feel the Jewish people are threatened or under attack, that’s when it sort of comes out,” Johnson said. “When I suddenly get a whiff of anti-Semitism, it’s then that you feel angry and protective.”
I find it interesting how these liars speak, and we see this all through the corporate media. In this statement he uses the first person, “I” three times before suddenly shifting to second person “you” in his final comment. Why would he do that? Does he not want to own the “angry and protective” part of the statement? Is he expecting someone else, whoever he’s talking to, to feel “angry and protective”?
