Simon and Honey Gould, married for more than 20 years and with two children, live a seemingly peaceful life in their handsome five-bedroom house in a quiet British suburb.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simon, 52, is a successful businessman running his own property company. Honey, 49, has pursued a career in marketing, while also raising son Arron, now 18, and daughter Angel, 16. Their wide circle of friends, close family and other relatives lives nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet this summer the Goulds will leave everything behind \u2013 their north Manchester home filled with memories, their lovely, rambling garden, their busy social life \u2013 and leave the UK for good.<\/span><\/p>\n

It may sound dramatic \u2013 incomprehensible, even. But the family, who are Jewish, no longer feel safe in this country. They believe they have no choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a terrible wrench,\u201d says Honey, who admits that even emptying a single drawer \u201ctakes hours\u201d as, bit by bit, she packs away the pieces of their life, ready for transit to their new home in the US state of Arizona.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud to be British. My parents live in London. Simon has lived his whole life in two streets of north Manchester. Our house is the only home our son and daughter have ever known. But we have to do this, not least for the sake of our children.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She is not the only member of Britain\u2019s 300,000-strong Jewish community to feel things have reached crisis point. Since the gun attack that killed three people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels last year and the murder by radical Islamists of four Jews at a kosher supermarket on the outskirts of Paris last month, the chorus of concern has been growing. The actress Maureen Lipman recently revealed that she, too, is considering leaving the UK because of the rising number of attacks on Jews.<\/span><\/p>\n

A poll by the Campaign Against Antisemitism last month found nearly half of Britons thought that at least one anti\u2011Semitic view presented to them was \u201cdefinitely or probably true\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
