The Left's Hatred of Jews Chills Me to the Bone
The Telegraph ^ | 28 April 2016 | Stephen Pollard

Posted on 04/28/2016 11:03:03 PM PDT by Rummyfan

As a young boy, I used to think my grandma very strange. In her bedroom she kept a suitcase, packed and ready for use at a moment’s notice. “Just in case,” she’d tell me when I asked where it was that she was always waiting to go to. “You never know when they’ll turn on the Jews.”

Her house in Northwood was epitome of suburban comfort, and I couldn’t understand what on earth she meant. Until, that is, I learned some history – including the history of the Jews. Which is, in short, that pretty much everywhere, they have turned on the Jews.

From my teens through my twenties and thirties, the fact that I am Jewish meant little to me beyond the Jonathan Miller sense of being Jew-ish. I adored beigels, matzoh balls, Seinfeld and Woody Allen more than your average gentile would think they deserved. And that was about it. If you’d asked me, I’d have told you that after the Holocaust, real, serious anti-Semitism – the sort where Jews were killed for being Jews, rather than the odd nasty comment – was a thing of the past, in civilised Europe, at least.

[[Terrific article that is just simply...true. Like gravity. One can construct any number of theories as to the whys but the effect remains. Anti-Semitism is a European tradition in its way but in the case of the Brits, I believe there is a special residual resentment for the activities of the Irgun who blew up the King David hotel in 1946 resulting in the deaths of some 91 people, mostly Brits. A terrorist act, by any measure and certainly by contemporary standards. No “freedom fighter” sentiments need apply.]]

Antisemitism is link with a hatred of and disbelief in the scriptures and the God of the bible . If you go back this goes much farther back than Europe .

Europe’s problem always goes back to it’s leftist ties with the Arab world . It’s a spiritual problem . The Europeans are as much anti-Christian (biblical Christianity ) as they are anti-semitic.

Get OUT!
Get out NOW!
Get out while you still can.
Get out while it’s still easy.

Do NOT wait until it becomes obvious.
By then, it will be TOO LATE.

“In the Last Days, mockers will come”

Very true,

But the interesting thing is (I believe) the only mockers that matter are the believers,

If you read the text very carefully, its believers saying it,

As for the non-believers, their just cannon fodder on the side of evil tossed about in a war they’re not even conscious of,

Jesus said let the dead bury the dead,

Far,far too many leftist organizations were formed and are currently controlled by Jews. It is rare to meet a politically conservative Jew.

Exactly. The Torah is today the EXACT SAME book it was FIVE THOUSAND YEARS AGO. Not one thing in any manner shape or form is different today in its composition after 5 millenia. It says today what it said then. In terms of the quirks and shortcomings of the Human Race, that’s impossible!
