Original Note:
The UK has never expelled Jews. Medieval England has. Edward I issued the Edict of Expulsion in 1290. https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/why-were-the-jews-expelled-from-england-in-1290-0 Similarly, Spain’s Isabella I signed the Alhambra Decree in 1492. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/exploring-hate/2022/07/26/expelled-from-spain-july-31-1492/ The expulsion of Jews from Arab states is a far more contemporary example. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jewish-refugees-from-arab-countries?utm_content=cmp-true
