U.S. Envoy: Anti-Semitism in Europe Nearly as Bad as in 1930s

Brussels – The U.S. envoy to the European Union said on Thursday that anti-Semitism in Europe was nearly as bad as it was in the 1930s, a decade which saw the rise of German Nazism and led to the extermination of six millions Jews.

The remarks by Ambassador Rockwell Schnabel are likely to rekindle controversy over charges that anti-Semitism is on the rise in Europe, which prompted the European Union's executive to schedule a major seminar on the issue next week.

Speaking at a dinner given by the American Jewish Committee to launch a Transatlantic Institute in Brussels, Schnabel said relations between Europe and the United States had improved since last year's acrimony over the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

"There is one issue that we can work on together," he said. "It is to overcome the issue of anti-Semitism which … is indeed — as I understand it and read — getting to a point where it is as bad as it was in the 30s."

He did not elaborate.

Quote; If you cannot see the difference, then you are morally bankrupt.

An associate of mine told me all middle easterners were semitic peoples, is this true? And I was wondering if it was forbidden (taboo) to critize Israel in this forum, (after reading the reactions to the Shy one?) and Since I am relatively new, I just wanted to test the waters and learn the ropes. I was also wondering about the difference between a Neo-conservative and a traditional conservative , and which view is more prevalent here? thanks to any that can enlighten me.

>>>An associate of mine told me all middle easterners were semitic peoples, is this true?

Virtually all middle easterners are part of the Semitic mega nation, as judged by language, genetic distance, and culture, yes.

>>>And I was wondering if it was forbidden (taboo) to critize Israel in this forum, (after reading the reactions to the Shy one?)

Any criticism of Jews or suggestion that Jews think or act as a group is absolutely forbidden on this board. Exceptions will be dealt with sharply.

>>>I was also wondering about the difference between a Neo-conservative and a traditional conservative , and which view is more prevalent here?

There is no such thing as a neo-conservative.

KG9 -

Please help me understand your post.

Are you advocating a military action in order to

a) cleanse Europe of its Arab population, the source of 90% of the alleged 'anti-semitism'

or

b) to prevent your fellow human beings from the free exchange or expression of ideas

If b), then you need not worry. All European nations, including France, Germany, and England, have very serious legislation regarding what one may say or think regarding other races and religions. Please rest assured that whites who run afoul of these laws are punished most sternly, just as right here on this board.

Also, since you might have forgotten, there is no need for D-Day style invasions. Our troops, thousands of them, are already stationed all over the continent.

"There is no such thing as a neo-conservative."

LOF! That would be news to Irving Kristol, seeing how he is the one who coined the term. Of course there is such a thing as a neo-con. In fact, there is a whole industry built around this bastardization of conservative principles. Anyone can go to the Original Dissent.com website and see the absurdity or worse of your statement above. Whether one agrees with the views there or not, there is a whole folder dedicated to things neoconservative and their betrayal of America, most of them pulled from the neo-cons themselves in their own words.

Mr. Nason:

There is no such thing as a neoconservative, and anyone who says otherwise is a anti-semite.

I refer you to David Brooks' op-ed piece in the New York Times, where he explains that those persons who have been called 'neoconservative' by antisemites actually have no contact with each other and have NO influence on American Foreign Policy.

There is NO SUCH THING as a neoconservative. And there is NO PLACE on this board for jew-hating filth like yourself.

If you wish, you can come out and call them "Jewish conservatives" and then we'll all see quite plainly who you are and why you don't like them.

I'm proud that our country is being run by Jews!

Neo-conservative is a phony label devised by people who can't explain their hatred unless they have a target. It's false, it doesn't exist, it's a shadow enemie invented by people who are morally bereft. They make up a name, throw hatred at it, and soon the morons of the world follow.

"Neo-conservative is a phony label devised by people who can't explain their hatred unless they have a target."

Tell that to Irving Kristol and Max Boot, among others who have bragged about being Neo-cons and "hard wilsonians."

"It's false, it doesn't exist, it's a shadow enemie invented by people who are morally bereft. They make up a name, throw hatred at it, and soon the morons of the world follow."

You sound just like someone who has a drug problem and is in denial, even though there is overwhelming evidence to show otherwise. These are very real people and you darn well know it. The real morons are those who believe that something as evil and un-American as neo-conservatism can be Conservative. It is nothing more than a trojan horse for the American version of the social democrat with a internationalist bent that disguises itself as being in America's national interest. I would also point out their love for things like open borders and the obscene and unworkable concept of the "propositional nation." When I hear the morons on talk radio praising people like FDR and equating him with the Right to the point where some of these fools have called him a "conservative," I almost have to laugh, if it wasn't so tragic. This just shows how far to the Left the conservatives of today have gone from those of the 1980 election. and it is because of the influence of the neo-cons.
