Even in quiet German city, European Jews fear 'new' anti-Semitism

The canard that Muslim anti-Semitism in Europe is related to their situational disaffection and addresses in the slums of Europe is already well-worn and widely accept, even by the Jewish writer author of this piece.

I once deeply offended a Jewish business colleague when, over lunch, I happened to mention that Mein Kaampf should be required reading in the public schools.

He icily asked me why, and I told him so that it can never happen again. He understood but didn't agree. Like so many American Jews, the shame of the Holocaust outweighed the critical importance of educating the masses with its lessons.

Today I know more about the Holocaust and its roots than most American Jews my own age, and that disturbs me a great deal. The world is forgetting.

>continent's 17 million Muslims

Reading that statistic makes me almost want to throw up. Ugh...how did that happen? Thanks a lot, you left-wing socialist pink traitors.

[Nachum]

Indeed.

[witnesstothefall]

that statistic

Yes it rather leaps off the page doesn't it.

We are back in the 1930`s. Many similarities. Russia looking to extend her sphare of influence. Europe becoming anti-Semitic, and America (playing the role of British Empire) fighting wars in distant parts of the world.

I agree with you. There are too many people who don't know about the horrors of the Holocaust and we all know that knowledge is power.

I have seen anti-Semitism in places and people that I'd never expect it. It isn't violent but it is insidious.

I've always wondered about the mindset of those who, more or less, let the Holocaust happen. Or those who actually cooperated willingly. Is it so easy to manipulate that many people by slowly and insidiously filling their minds with hate so that when they commit egregious acts they can justify it within themselves?

I've always wondered if I would have been brave enough to help and I've always hoped that I would have but I haven't been put to the test.

but I haven't been put to the test.

The century is young.

I'm surprised that The Guardian is suddenly concerned about anti-Semitism. I used to check out their message boards, and the anti-Israeli posters were rabid. I considered many of the posts anti-Semitic.

If Europe increasingly feels usurped by the US in the world, this could get very, very serious. Anti-Semitism always seems to crop up when people are feeling bitter and resentful and looking for scapegoats, and that is starting to fit Europe to a T. Not that that is an excuse for them, just a recognition of old patterns.

The most interesting thing is that the Europeans are turning against the Jews and not the Muslims, the real invader, which says a lot about the underlying Anti-Semitism that endures through thick and thin there.

You're right there are many similarities ..

Conside being well armed. Those without weapons are helpless. The unarmed can help neither themselves nor others.

Jews are an easier target IMHO. I've travelled and lived in various parts of Western Europe since 1979 and the changes that I've seen are dramatic. Take a 'neat' country like Germany and look at it today. Graffitti and trash are everywhere (I once lived in a town that was so 'quiet' that the Polizei station 'closed' at 9PM. This was 1999-2001 BTW.) The graffitti on the walls and such was obviously done by muslim immigrants. I'm no linguist, but I could tell.

I met a German girl whom I suspect had AIDs from being forced to screw all of her muslim boyfriend's friends. She told me this herself. She had been conditioned to believe that she really was a whore and I suspect that her socialist utopian upbringing contributed to this situation. What would someone like her do, shoot the bastard that did her this way? Not with the current situation.

To make a long story short, the conditioning is there for the musli trash to gain a real foothold and it seems to be happening everywhere on the planet as we speak.

But so many Americans are so clueless and live for their 'bread and circuses' that I don't have much hope for most of them.

I'm just a guy from the mountains but I see what I see.

Yes, Europe should be very scared of the REAL threat and quit trying to deny the obvious.

And it's time for Americans to forget all this make nice PC BS and Wake The F*** Up!

"A new anti-Semitism is on the march across the globe,"

The "Religion of Peace"™ marches on.

[Spartano]

You heard it here first.

[July 4th]

My apologies, but we're only a few decades behind that over here. Someone make it stop...please?

[BooBoo1000]

I wonder if conditions are so bad why do the Jews continue to live there??

[Spartano]

Blocks:

1) Holly Mother Russia and Imperium Europa will be allies. The Bosnians and Albanians will be forced to convert to Christianity.

2) USA, Canada, Australia, New Zeland and Chile will make another block.

3) China, Japan, Unified Korea, Singapur, Malasya, The Philipins will be allies.

4) The Arab countries, Turkey and North Africa will form an Islamic block.

5) India, Nepal and the countries nearby will form the Indian block.

Sub-Saharan Africa and LatinAmerica will be in chaos, total anarchy.

Chile will develop nuclear weapons to protect itself from the other poor LatinAmerica nations. Chile is already considered a First World country, thanks to General Augusto Pinochet.

Mexico will be a colonie of USA, there will be a revolution, America won`t be happy (it does not want problems on her backyard) and american soldiers will patrol Mexico and the border will be sealed, probably with a wall. USA will want Mexico to be a colonie for two reasons: for cheap manufacturing and to contain innmigration from South America.

Wait and see, you heard it here first.

I wonder why Jews don`t go to live to Israel. Israel spends a lot of money on defense, it has fought and won 3 wars. A lot of sacrificie not being honored by Jews living outside Israel.

[Spartano]

Time to call the Teutonic Knights.

Rest assured, we have plenty of weapons in the house:-}
