The U.S. ambassador to Belgium, Howard Gutman, recently told a conference hosted by the European Jewish Union that Israel is to blame for growing anti-Semitism harbored by people of Muslim faith.
A distinction should be made between traditional anti-Semitism, which should be condemned and Muslim hatred for Jews, which stems from the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, Gutman reportedly said, according to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. He also argued that an Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty will significantly diminish Muslim anti-Semitism.
According to the account in the Israeli paper, The legal experts at the event were visibly stunned by Gutmans words, and the next speaker offered a scathing rebuttal to the envoys remarks.

Does anyone believe Hussein isn't also a hater of Israel? Anyone want to buy a bridge in Brooklyn?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Gutman and his fellow travelers operate under the mentality that if Jews and Israel didn’t exist, there be no anti-Semitism. Isn’t Gutman a Jewish name? I never thought I’d see the day when Jewish anti-Semitism was on the rise.

but is totally unfamiliar

He also argued that an Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty will significantly diminish Muslim anti-Semitism. Israel has made concessions in the past. Remember the deal that Clinton tried to broker at the end of his presidency? Israel gave Arafat 95% of what they asked for. The PLO wouldn't even drop the clause in their charter that stated that Israel did not have the right to exist. Arafat refused. No counter-offer. Just a return to terrorism. Peace Treaty? The Arabs will only sign if the Israelis reenact Masada on a national scale.

Gutman is the son of a Holocaust survivor. Slip-and-slide lawyer who hit the jackpot suing Microsoft and worked for the FBI(!). Big Democrat contributor. Had a gig on Fox News last presidential election.
He’s popular in Europe for his Israel-bashing.

Muslim/Leftist hatred is just like the Holocaust: Jews bring it on themselves by being so Jewish and by continuing to exist.

Howard Gutman parrots the anti-Israel line perfectly and by doing so takes the concept of ‘blaming the victim’ to new levels of absurdity. Because Jews defend their homeland against Arab terrorists pretending to be ‘refugees’ the Jews are the ‘problem’. Oh.

I never thought Id see the day when Jewish anti-Semitism was on the rise. Both terrifying and sickening. But then again, we've had Noam Chomsky for a few decades, so Gutman's mild in comparison.
At least stuff like this is a good reminder to BLOAT. As if a reminder were needed....

Polls reported that 90% of American Jewish Voters voted for Obama Hussein in 2008! Hopefully that number is down to 80% by now, but I am not counting on that!

A distinction should be made between traditional anti-Semitism, which should be condemned and Muslim hatred for Jews, which stems from the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, Gutman reportedly said, Really? I thought that Arafat and his Palestinians were kicked out of all the other Muslim countries, and only Israel took them in.
