British MP compares anti-Israel university riot to Kristallnacht
INN ^ | 1/24/2016, 2:10 PM | Ari Soffer

A senior British MP has compared a violent anti-Israel riot at a London university last week to kristallnacht, as condemnation of the violence carried out by pro-Palestinian activists continues to mount.

In an interview with Sky News on Sunday morning, Sir Eric Pickles - a former minister who now serves as the United Kingdom's Special Envoy for post-Holocaust issues - likened the incident, in which windows were smashed and at least one Jewish student was physically assaulted, to the Nazi pogrom in which anti-Semitic thugs ransacked Jewish-owned synagogues, shops and other establishments in Germany. ...

Why does anti-semitism run so deeply on the left?

UK has been sold out by its ruling elite...to the IslamoNazi invasion. Once a great Empire, now to be a colony.

I heard nothing about this frightening development.
There were already Brits against the Jews before any of the Jihads got started.

Because the left is and has always been about the politics of jealousy.

Just like Morrissey sang: We hate it when our friends become successful.

If you are successful (especially as a people), it’s because you tricked and took advantage of others (c.f. “Shylock”). Likewise the blood libels, and Christ-Killing canards...

Even more than this, it’s like the Philosopher C. W. DiCarlo said: “The average University activist’s true level of understanding of Communism and Socialism generally doesn’t extend beyond ‘rich people have a lot of nice stuff that I want’.”

It’s as old as humanity itself and the human condition.

You can see it in the story of Cain and Able and between Jacob and Esau.

I must say I thought of that as soon as I read about it. Sad and shocking. Can it happen here?

Best to let Marx himself answer that.
What was the foundation of the Jewish religion? Practical needs; egoism. Consequently the monotheism of the Jew is in reality the polytheism of many needs. Practical needs or egoism are the principle of bourgeois society, and they appear openly as such so soon as bourgeois society gives birth to the political state. The God of practical needs and egoism is money.

Money is the jealous God of Israel, by the side of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man and converts them into commodities. Money is the general and self-constituted value of all things. Consequently it has robbed the whole world--the world of mankind as well as Nature--of its peculiar value. Money is the being of man’s work and existence alienated from himself, and this alien being rules him, and he prays to it.

The God of the Jews has secularized himself and become the universal God. Exchange is the Jew's real God. ...
Sound familiar?

The average University activists true level of understanding of Communism and Socialism generally doesnt extend beyond rich people have a lot of nice stuff that I want.

As a pro-Cuba activist once told me, All I want is what you want — your job, your house, your car, your wife.

Everything in contradiction to “Thou shalt not covet”. Also an echo of the Manifesto’s attack on the bourgeoisie with respect to family:
The Communists have no need to introduce community of women; it has existed almost from time immemorial. Our bourgeois, not content with having wives and daughters of their proletarians at their disposal, not to speak of common prostitutes, take the greatest pleasure in seducing each other's wives. Bourgeois marriage is, in reality, a system of wives in common and thus, at the most, what the Communists might possibly be reproached with is that they desire to introduce, in substitution for a hypocritically concealed, an openly legalized community of women. ...
That of course was not a universal status quo, but any lie will do when it comes to Marxism.

And so the first thing communists do when they seize power is to steal everyone else’s money/ property. It’s “evil” if you earn money, but that very same money is plenty “good” enough once the commies grab it for themselves. See?

Note how Marx regarded the Jews as the worst of the “bourgeoisie” too, even though he himself was an ethnic Jew, and also even though his father Heinrich (birth name Herschel Mordechai) had converted to Lutheranism. This is what militant atheism does to people.

my observations....
1. Jews include some of the very most accomplished people (arts, music, theatre, science, medicine, business, you name it), they make tremendous contributions to society!
2. Jews are mostly good people too
3. however, when a Jew goes bad morally... he may still become very accomplished (including in some bad ways)
4. when a Jew goes bad morally, this ...(amazingly to me)....often includes anti- Semitism (or “sell-out capo type yids” who advocate or work for, or at least tolerate...endangering any and all other Jewish people’s lives or liberties)

I can’t explain it. I’ve read several commentaries that it resulted from internalizing the European Nazi bigotry (and that would provide a psychiatric explanation for the likes of evil capos like Soroz) ... But Nazi attitudes at least long predated the ascendency of Naziism in Europe....and anti-Semitic ex-Jews (or people who still claim Jewish affiliation no matter how ridiculous that may be)....also predated the European Nazi era. Indeed, the latter types go back at least back to Biblical/Maccabean times.

That observation fails to
explain why, tho. I’ve always thought that if a person chooses to reject his people or church, he’d just move away from it.. and join whatever other group(s) that would welcome or let him in. Period. No problems for anybody.
But some who leave a group then go back trying to kill off their former friends, family, neighbors.

I can’t explain it. I wish I could, because if we had an explanation why some people turn so evil... maybe we could help them (and thusly, the rest of humanity) through some sort of treatment or other helpful intervention

The Jews are particularly targeted by Satan because of the promises made to David and Solomon; chiefly related to the Messiah and David’s throne, which represents Satan losing his throne.

I agree that is a good (Christian) explanation ... Satan attacking Jews because, as St. Paul taught, the Jewish people (even though many did not follow Paul’s teachings) still enjoy God’s blessings and promises (such as” “To the Jews belong the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises” (Romans 9:4). Christian theology includes an active evil contender to, an actual foe of God and His works and plans for mankind ...an evil agent who attacks God by attacking God’s people ...trying to interfere with God delivering the rest of His promises to the Jews and through them (in Christianity, via Jesus’ return) to all of mankind. Or some such, depends on what verses you read and what brand of church one may choose to attend. But, it is definitely there in one form or another, and most Christians see it as a significant part of Christian faith. (See also Revelation).

Of course, Judaism mostly sees people who do evil things as simply people who do evil things, usually without attributing the evil to an external agency or source.

Either way, people who do such terribly evil things as the European Nazis or today’s Islam (-o-Nazis)... still must be defeated in the most decisive way possible, we simply MUST eliminate them ...before they can bomb, murder, burn alive, crucify, or gang-rape the rest of humanity.

Is this a trick question?

I don't know how it is in England. In the US leftists hate Jews like the devil hates holy water.

Leftists in the US hate the United States. Probably in England they hate the England that England became.

Leftists in the US hate blacks and all minorities and are pro slavery. I s'pect that persuasion also exists in England.

People who think leftists have anything to add to the discussion are retarded...period.
