Anti-semitism 'disturbingly normalized' in Europe
EU Observer ^ | 10 Dec 2018 17:07 | Eszter Zalan

Anti-semitism has become “disturbingly normalized” in Europe, as almost 40 percent of the European Jewish community is considering leaving their home countries because they no longer feel safe, according to a survey by the EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency published on Monday (10 December).

Nearly 90 percent of respondents said that anti-semitism has been on the rise since 2013.

Some 70 years after six million Jews were murdered in Europe, Jews on the continent once again refrain from wearing their kippa, the religious cap, and hide their mezuzas, usually hung on doorposts, to protect themselves.

The EU’s Vienna-based agency surveyed almost 16,500 individuals who identify as being Jewish in 12 EU countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom, where altogether over 96 percent of the EU’s estimated Jewish population live.

The results are “extremely worrying”, justice commissioner Vera Jourova told journalists on Monday.

Nine in 10 (89 percent) respondents feel that anti-semitism increased in their country in the last five years, more than eight in 10 (85 percent) consider it to be a serious problem and name it as their number one fear ahead of other social or political concerns.

Nine in ten also think anti-semitism is the most problematic on the internet and on social media (89 percent), while 73 percent consider it to be an issue in public spaces, in the media (71 percent) and in political life (70 percent). …

Further down in the article, they make the mistake of calling George Soros “Jewish” (he is an atheist and has a history of antisemitism), and falsely associate any well-deserved animus against him, particularly in Hungary, with antisemitism.

Why’d they want Muslims in Europe?

Kind of their own fault. Like the homosexuals who will also be the first to go. Useful idiots.

Several European countries have been sold out to the Islamic invaders. Jews and Christians will soon not be tolerated

There are some European antisemites who will be blamed for all of the antisemitism.

Once again the elites and the MSM will ignore the Islamic elephant in the room.

The new cover. If you ctiticize Soros, you are an anti-semite. Like that Nazi collaborator is a Jew. His family may have been Jewish, but so was part of Hitler’s.

How many of the Jews - however that is now defined - who wish to flee are leftists? atheists?

The Third Reich was leftist. The greater danger to them comes from the left, as current Europe shows.

Will they learn? Not by the historical pattern. Venezuela is not learning. France is not learning.

Leftists keep on complaining and protesting the failings of leftism without abandoning it.

Hasn’t anti-semitism always been normal in Europe?

Yes, and guess what, the poll should have asked how many Jews are armed in Europe. The answer would be, less than 5 percent at best.

It’s the 1930’s all over again, only this time, it is the enlightened Left in England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Italy, Greece and possibly Spain and Austria who are letting this anti-Semitism happen all over again, despite the Jewish-Christian-destroying 800 pound, multi-country Islamic gorilla in the lebensraum.

Yes. In the U.K. now, for example, those who disagree with radical Islamists are called Nazis by the big media companies.

How many Jewish people in Europe support open borders and endless waves of Muslim “refugees” ? That might have something to do with the rise of anti Semitism. I doubt any of them will leave Europe but I hope they don’t come to America, we already have enough liberal Jews here.

We’re doing a similar thing in the US right now; after demonizing whites (especially men) and legally marginalizing them, we continue to import massive numbers of people automatically put on the “preferred” list (Hispanics, blacks, women). The white birth rate is suppressed in part by the burdensome taxes imposed for the maintenance of this imported foreign underclass, and coupled with the economic oppression (reduced access to higher education, jobs, promotions, etc.) it can only lead to one outcome - and it is playing out in front of us right now.

All part of importing a foreign underclass to cleanse the world of judeo-christian civilization and its pesky emphasis on the rights of individuals

Europe has always been anti-Semitic. This is not new.

When you got 100 times more musscums in the EU then Jews what do you expect.

When these musscums are basically non-contributing welfare recipients/wards of the state and they see Productive Jewish citizens what can you expect?

Jealousy, envy and hatred at those you can and will never emulate. THat’s what you can expect and that is the EU’s reality today.
