JCall and the Distress of European Jewry
commentary ^ | 5/5/10 | Evelyn Gordon

Posted on 05/05/2010 10:09:05 AM PDT by Nachum

The new European group JCall raises a disturbing question: how could pro-Israel intellectuals like Alain Finkielkraut and Bernard-Henri Levy support a venture that is simultaneously anti-Israel and intellectually incoherent?

JCall presented a petition to the European Parliament this week that asserted that Israel’s future “depends upon” peace with the Palestinians, so the European Union must “put pressure on both parties.” Then, abandoning the pretense of even-handedness, it added: “Systematic support of Israeli government policy is dangerous and does not serve the true interests of the state of Israel.” There was no comparable warning against supporting Palestinian Authority policies, some of which clearly endanger Israel.

Going after Israel is similar to going after nations that wish to stay true to their Christian roots and identity.

Jewish and Christian oriented nation-states do not fit into the the new world order paradigm.

Complete insanity that they think that by selling out Israel that they will have it easy or have peace.

Do they not realize that by feeding off Israel to the crocodile that the crocodile may eat them last but will still eat them ? Do they really think that the spirit of hate which has taken over so much of Europe is going to forget that they are Jews ?

It is time for European Jews to wake up , turn to their G-d and stop worshiping the idol that is social justice before never again happens again.
