"Never forget" changed into "Let's rethink this" pretty quickly

"Bob Vylan, Glastonbury and the banality of Jew hatred".

If you can’t see it now, you never will. The sight of tens of thousands of people at Glastonbury yesterday joining in a spirited chant of ‘Death, death to the IDF’ was the sight of us officially becoming a very different country, I fear. One in which anti-Israel hysteria has so flawlessly rehabilitated Jew hatred that it has become unthinking, conformist, almost mundane.

The British writer, H.H. Munro ("Saki"), wrote a darkly humorous story about a prankster who, passing through a rural area of Britain, pretended to be the new pastor of the local church whose arrival he had heard was imminent. At a small gathering of his parishioners - at a tea party or something like it - he proposed a pogrom against the Jews. The humor of that story, written in the pre-WWI period, derives from the fact that the Jews - including a local landowner much respected in the community - had become so thoroughly integrated into society that the "pastor's" instructions were clearly seen as outrageous by the locals - and would be seen as equally outrageous by readers of the story (by the way, I unfortunately do not recall the title of the story, but will look for it later).

Would such a call be seen as outrageous today in, say, London or other large metropolitan centers in the UK? One wonders.
