Jews Shouldn't Light Menorah For Hanukkah Because Of Anti-Semitic Threats, Paris Police Warn
International Business Times ^ | 12-2-15 | Cristina Silva 

Paris police are reportedly discouraging Jews from lighting the menorah to mark Hanukkah this weekend, after a series of terror attacks last month killed and wounded hundreds. The warning comes as some Jewish leaders have expressed concern about anti-Semitic threats, after Islamic State group supporters attacked several locations -- including a theater that held pro-Israel events -- on Nov. 13.

Jewish organizations in Paris had vowed to hold public Hanukkah ceremonies, including a live concert, starting at sundown Sunday to honor the Jewish holiday. The Jewish outreach organization Chabad Lubavitch is sponsoring more than 60 celebrations and nightly public menorah lightings around Paris, including at the Eiffel Tower. American Jewish DJ Nachum Segal had scheduled a concert titled “Let There Be Light: The Concert of Jewish Unity,” at the Synagogue de la Victoire, or Grand Synagogue of Paris, next week. The show was organized “to celebrate the lives of those living in France, and to honor the Jewish communities,” according to a news release.

France has Europe's largest population of Jews. Last year, more than 6,000 Parisians, dignitaries and visitors participated in The Eiffel Tower menorah lighting. The ceremony has been a tradition for 24 years.

After the November terror attacks in France, extra police were sent to guard the historically Jewish Marais neighborhood in Paris, while a teacher at a Jewish school in Marseilles was stabbed by three attackers who appeared to support the Islamic State group.

The next announcement will be that Christians shouldn’t be seen celebrating Christmas for fear of terrorist reprisals.

Then, just to be on the safe side, all women should where a burqa - just in case some Muslim were to get upset and attack them because they showed their faces.

And out of an abundance of caution we recommend that everybody been seen praying to Mecca at the appropriate times of the day.

Today, only the liberal, B-HO loving Jews will submissively get into their metaphorical (and literal) boxcars. They need to politely thank the Paris police for their service, quietly shut their doors, and refocus on their black market arms import network and krav maga skills.

They'll rape and murder them anyway. You can't fool a randy follower of allah with a burqa as they can smell a Christian woman underneath because they don't stink like a Muslim female.

Sad a country in which Jews are welcome to live must discourage celebrating their faith openly, else offend the death cult. Given yesterday attack on a Christmas party, America should pay attention.

Stay inside Jew!

Go down to the cellar Jew!

Keep a low profile Jew!

Eyes down Jew!

Remember European Antisemitism for the last 2,000 years Jew!

1937 Europe: Jews! Out of Germany, go to Palestine!

1948-2015 Europe: Jews! Out of Palestine or Israel or whatever you call it, go back to Europe!

Jews, make Aliyah (emigrate) to Israel and be strong!

In fact, this morning on Fox and Friends, Steve Doocey made a point of noting that there was in fact a Christmas tree at the party.

That started way back after WWII when they started importing Muzzies by the boatload as cheap labor to re-build Europe.

The Burqa is banned in France.

The Menorah is also banned in public places it seems. Till the latest Paris attack, the feeling was (according to an EU colleague) that “They are only going after the Jews, so why should we get involved?”

Now the anger is directed by some to the Jews for making the muslims mad.

I normally reside near Ft Hood which has a substantial Muslim only housing area on the road to Austin.

If I was home right now, I think I would put on a series of huge Christmas parties at a property near there and invite all of my “carrying” friends. Maybe a loudspeaker and some Bible thumping preaching. See if anybody there wants to join the party?

It is time to start separating the wheat and the tares.

Christians have nothing to worry about. This culture has obliterated the celebration of Christ’s birth under a garbage dump of catalogs, balance sheets,Santa, Rudolph,and Frosty, There is scarcely anything Christian about Christmas.

Why did those Jews even light that first Mehorah, oh so many years ago? There would have been peace for them if they had never have done that. SARC
