European Jewish Congress: 'Jews in Europe Entering a Dark Period'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 10/14/2010 | Hillel Fendel

The European Jewish Congress warns that some Jewish communities in Europe are “teetering on the brink” due to national endorsement or neglect of anti-Semitism.

The EJC maintains that a recent wave of anti-Semitism, some of which was officially sanctioned, has left some Jewish communities in grave danger. EJC President Dr. Moshe Kantor sums up: “We are entering a very dark period for Jews in Europe.”

Recent instances of official anti-Semitism include a grave incident that occurred in Antwerp, Belgium. A respected government-funded Catholic school, the College of the Sacred Heart, hosted a "Palestine Day," replete with anti-Semitic references and activities for youngsters. One stall at the event was entitled “Throw the soldiers into the sea,” and children were invited to throw replicas of Israeli soldiers into two large tanks of water.

Last weekend, an event organized for Jewish children in Malmo, Sweden, was attacked by a gang of thugs who shouted “Heil Hitler” and “Jewish pigs.” The gang entered the site of the event and damaged property.

“We are entering a very dark period for Jews in Europe.”

When did the dark period end? I cannot imagine maintaining residence anywhere in Europe if I was a Jew.

Pray for them to get out, and get out soon.

Malmo where there is a huge Muslim area that has been a problem???? I don’t see the Swedes being the type to do this. Then again there are skin heads in Sweden too.

I am afraid that this kind of stuff will be happening here in the U.S. too. We already have far more hate incidents reported against Jews than Muslims.

"Throw the soldiers [Israeli Jews] to the sea with your coins"

The idea was to raise money to fund a Belgian "hate" flotilla for Gaza. At the entrance of the hall, there were two buckets full of water with two toy boats carryng figurines representing Jewish soldiers.

It goes to show that some Catholics have no idea what a real Christian is.

Jews better man up or they will find themselves sitting around watching it happen all over again. And if it does the Western Allies won't save them like they did the last time.

Entering? European Jews are the marginalized remnants of a long history of antisemitism. Herzl was wrong about many things, European antisemitism never flourished in America, and the antisemitic regiems of Europe never becams proponents of a free, Jewish Palestine. But on the danger Jews faced living in Europe in the coming 20th century, he was on target. That said, were I a European Jew, I'd likely stay and resist.

Multiculturalism - everyone against Christian Western people - sounded so...non-racist, too. I guess hate is hate and it’s not so easy to contain and direct.

If my kid were in that school, I would yank him out immediately. And sue them for the tuition I'd already paid.

Considering the flood of moslem immigrants, I don't think educating Europeans on generic "tolerance" is what is needed.

I know Jews have lived in Europe for over two thousand years, but the time has obviously come to get out. Make `aliyyah and outnumber the Arabs!
