Envoy: European Jews 'Bankrupted' by Security Costs
INN ^ | 3/13/15 | staff

Many Jewish bodies in Europe are being bankrupted by the growing need for security measures, the State Department's special envoy on anti-Semitism said on Friday, according to AFP.

Jewish communities in Europe are on edge after being targeted by Islamist gunmen in recent attacks in France and Denmark.

But even before that, many said they were victims of a growing tide of anti-Semitic crime, with the number of Jews leaving France for Israel nearly doubling between 2013 and 2014.

"Every Jewish community in western Europe certainly needs security support. Many of them are being bankrupted by the money they have to spend to protect their institutions," Ira Forman was quoted as having told journalists in Stockholm.

"If current trends continue, and they're not good... we have to worry about small Jewish communities in Europe and their very viability," he added, according to AFP.

"There is clearly a problem of integration in parts of Europe," Forman said, referring to the continent's Muslim population.

Education was key to fighting anti-Semitism since "ultimately security's a band-aid," he said.

Uh huh. The only people who can and will “worry” about small (and large) Jewish communities in Europe are the members of those small and large Jewish communities. Nobody gonna do nothing, not in Europe. At a maximum all that WILL happen is “worry”: In the face of threats and acts of violence against them. If they need to get the hell out, they need to get the hell out. Period. They don’t need to like it; they need to exit.

Security is expensive. In the US too, most Jewish institutions have security that would surprise Christians who can simply walk into a Church. But Europe isn't the US, and the costs can be a burden in either case.

But Ira, you moron, if Jews flee Europe it isn't about the cost of protecting themselves from the 8th and 9th century mohammedans doing their best to dominate Europe, it's about the mohammedans themselves. And the Europeans who side with them, thinking the crocodile won't come for the Sunday people. The Jews will survive, if no longer in Europe, that's Europe's choice.

Hitler is winning. Within a generation or so, most of Europe will be “Judenfrei”. Those remaining will be picked off, one at a time.

Meanwhile, flash, Obama and Holder blame Ferguson violence on the Joosz. Why not? They blame everything else on Bibi Netanyahu, Israel, and conservatives (which has many Jewish leaders). Why not complete the circle of hate?

If Europe wants to exchange its Jews for muslims,
good luck!

They deserve what they get.

You're blaming the average European for multiculturalism and mass third world immigration?

Talk about blaming the victim.

Here's a hint: what victimized ethnicity spent the last century agitating for mass immigration and open borders to let in the poor, downtrodden masses of the entire planet?

Hint #2: It wasn't the Anabaptists.
