Robert Garson implied that the United States should have no problem absorbing Britain’s approximately 300,000 Jews.

President Donald Trump’s UK-born lawyer, Robert Garson, has recommended that British Jews be given asylum, raising concerns that Britain is “no longer a safe place” for Jews. He said he has addressed his concerns to the State Department as well as Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the U.S. special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism.
“When I look at what is going on with Jews in Britain, and when I look at the changing demographics, I don’t believe — and I have discussed this with people in the Trump administration — that there is a future for Jews in the United Kingdom,” he said. “For me, that is particularly sad.”
He implied that the United States should have no problem absorbing Britain’s approximately 300,000 Jews.
“It is certainly not an unattractive proposition,” he said. “It is a highly educated community … It is a populace that speaks English natively, that is educated and doesn’t have a high proportion of criminals. There were conversations.”
The Manchester native learned how to use a gun after the Oct. 7 attack and has become an avid proponent of Jews learning to defend themselves, offering to train anyone who is interested in how to use a gun. He believes that the inability to defend themselves contributed to the large number of Jewish deaths in the Holocaust.
“I am a great believer that if there had been six million guns in six million Jewish hands, there would have been six million fewer deaths,” he said.
Garson is unimpressed with Britain’s efforts to combat antisemitism.
“Keir Starmer has turned a total blind eye to antisemitism,” he said. “The prime minister has allowed rampant antisemitism to become commonplace in society and has allowed it to come from those who really don’t have Britain’s best interests at heart.”
Garson pointed to the potential dangers Islamism poses to British society as well as right-wing fears of an Islamist takeover of the Western democracy, saying that “they are coming for the Jews and then they are coming for your pubs” and “you are going to have sharia-compliant areas very, very soon.”
