EU 'Covered Up'Attacks On Jews By Young Muslims

EU 'covered up' attacks on Jews by young Muslims

By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in Brussels
(Filed: 01/04/2004)

Jewish leaders accused the European Union yesterday of covering up the true scale of anti-Semitic violence carried out by Muslim youths, reigniting a controversy over Europe's failure to confront Islamic extremism at home.

A study released by the EU's racism and xenophobia monitoring centre astounded experts by concluding that the wave of anti-Jewish persecution over the last two years stemmed from neo-Nazi or other racist groups.

"The largest group of the perpetrators of anti-Semitic activities appears to be young, disaffected white Europeans," said a summary released to the European Parliament . "A further source of anti-Semitism in some countries was young Muslims of North African or Asian extraction.

"Traditionally, anti-Semitic groups on the extreme Right played a part in stirring opinion," it added.

The headline findings contradict the body of the report. This says most of the 193 violent attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools, kosher shops, cemeteries and rabbis in France in 2002 - up from 32 in 2001 - were "ascribed to youth from neighbourhoods sensitive to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, principally of North African descent.

"The percentage attributable to the extreme Right was only nine per cent in 2002," it said.

The report on Belgium said most of the fire-bomb and machine-gun attacks on Jewish targets were the result of a spillover from the Palestinian intifada.

The European Jewish Congress accused the EU watchdog of twisting data from the 15 member states to suit its own ideological bias, describing the report as a catalogue of "enormous contradictions, errors and omissions."

"We cannot let it be said that the majority of anti-Semitic incidents come from young, disaffected white men. This is in complete contradiction with the facts recorded by the police," it said.

The EU suppressed a report last year by German academics concluding that Arab gangs were largely responsible for a sudden surge in the anti-Jewish violence, allegedly because the findings were politically unpalatable.

Victor Weitzel, who wrote a large section of yesterday's far more detailed study, told The Telegraph that the latest findings had been consistently massaged by the EU watchdog to play down the role of North African youth. "The European Union seems incapable of facing up to the truth on this," he said. "Everything is being tilted to ensure nice soft conclusions.

"When I told them that we need to monitor the inflammatory language being used by the Arab press in Europe, this was changed to the 'minority press'.

"Honestly, it's incredible," he said.

Mr Weitzel's 48-page section - compiled with a Polish academic, Magadalena Sroda - is the fruit of months of interviews with Jewish leaders across Europe. While far-Right and traditional "Christian" forms of anti-Semitism still exist, the report homes in on a new form of "anti-Zionist Left" prejudice.

This demonises Israel and subtly leaks into prejudice against all Jews. The study describes Belgium as a country where anti-Semitism has become almost fashionable among the Left-leaning intelligentsia.

But most of the report focuses on Jew-baiting by Muslim youths. It paints an alarming picture of daily life for France's 600,000 Jews, the EU's biggest community.

In schools, Jewish children are beaten with impunity, and teachers dare not talk about the Holocaust for fear of provoking Muslim pupils, it said.

Britain, which saw a 75 per cent rise in incidents last year, was gently rebuked for hesitating to take "politically awkward" measures against Islamic radicals.

"The government is very anxious not to upset the Muslim community," the report said.

why is moslem anti-semitism in Europe and genocide of Christian blacks in Africa ignored by everybody? Yet some Moslems in Bosnia rated a full-fledged police action by the UN and US Army?

I think we're on the receiving end of an enormous PR scam perpetrateed by the arabs.

The Jews are once again the canaries in the mineshaft.

Today they are attacking Jews; tomorrow it may be French Christians who do not allow girls to wear headscarves in public schools.

If the population trends are not reversed, within my lifetime, there may be a French civil war.

As far as Europeans are concerned Jews are wrong no matter how many Jews the Arabs murder.

What do we expect from them? To learn from the past?

Not likely.

No, the real reason is that it is not politically correct to suggest bad things about any minority -- so they have to blame it on the only people that it is possible to criticize: whites.

These UE dummies will pay for what they are doing. Although I disagree theologically with the Jewish people, you don't just mess with God's people and get away with it. There will be justice done after this life is over.

It's not going to stop until the 'Muslim community' becomes 'very anxious' not to upset us.

The vast majority of victims of hate-crimes at the hands of these immigrants are not Jews, however, they are native Europeans. So deep is the self-loathing amongst the leadership of the West that those far more mumerous victims are never mentioned at all. Just like in the U.S.

Hey stupid Euro (and many American) Jews - you backed the Bosnian and Albanian Muslims over the Christian Serbs a people that saved your lives in and endured the concentration camps of WW2 with your kind, all in hopes that the Muslims will learn to love you Jews because of it.

Oops!

I apologoze if this sound offensive but the Jews are not in danger in Europe from Muslims - it is the Orthodox Christians - See the pogrom against the Serbs last week in Kosovo - 30+ killed last week - thousand made homless - dozens of churches burned. That is a real porgrom.

At least Israel sent covert aid to Serbia. You European Jews made your bed don't complain about the new bed bugs.
