Chief rabbi in Barcelona advises Jews to flee
American Thinker ^ | 08/21/2017 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 08/21/2017 8:52:23 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Speaking to the JTA news agency, Rabbi Meir Bar-Hen, the chief rabbi of Barcelona, is giving up on Europe as a safe home for Jews.

"Jews are not here permanently," he said of the city and region. "I tell my congregants: Don't think we're here for good. And I encourage them to buy property in Israel. This place is lost. Don't repeat the mistake of Algerian Jews, of Venezuelan Jews. Better [get out] early than late."

With North Africans, mostly Muslims, flooding into Spain daily, bringing with them deep, theologically based hatred of Jews, the situation for Jews there can only get worse.

Part of the problem exposed by the attacks, Bar-Hen said, is the presence of a large Muslim community with "radical fringes." Once these people are "living among you," he said of terrorists and their supporters, "it's very difficult to get rid of them. They only get stronger." He also said this applied to Europe as a whole.

"Europe is lost," he said.

Jews, of course, are only the canary in the coal mine for what is left of Christian Europe.  A Spanish newspaper has reported that the Barcelona terror cell was planning to blow up Barcelona's famous Sagrada Familia cathedral.

> giving up on Europe as a safe home for Jews.

Just Jews? A whole lot of people aren’t safe there.

Israel is “putting all your eggs in one basket”

That is a seriously bad idea...

If Jews want to be safe they need to join forces with their countrymen who oppose the Islamic invasion—yesterday.

At least Israel is the military super power of the Middle East.

Don’t discount antisemitism among Catholic Spaniards. One poll says only 4% of Spanish disagree with their current immigration policy.

Recall that with the defeat of the Moors in 1492 the Spanish monarchy immediately expelled all of Spain’s Jews. The Moors were later kicked out, but not all at once.

Strange, wasn’t it?

The muzzies want Sagrada Familia destroyed but not the Cordoba Cathedral since it used to be a mosque. And they want it back. Spain may be facing a second Spanish Civil War.

m*slims hate Jews. m*slims are breeding like rabbits. m*slims will outnumber people in 20-30 years. Jews will be in danger.

Now if only Israel would get its head out of its tokhes and expel those whose holy book mandates hurting Jews.

I would change that to:

Jews, of course, are only the canary in the coal mine for what is left of WESTERN Europe.

I would like to include all those WESTERN ATHEISTS who think they actually prefer values such as free speech, free inquiry, and the development of arts and sciences and prepare them to bid a fond adieu to all of that when the muslim savage hordes take over their sick socialist societies, put women in chains and chop off the heads of anyone who disagrees with them about their Great Satanic Avatar Allah.

I wonder how many Jews voted for pro-Muslim invasion politicians ?

A statement which relies entirely on the presupposition that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob does not exist for validity.

“Cordoba Cathedral since it used to be a mosque.”

-

A cathedral within the former mosque-——a very beautiful building,though.

Nothing strange about it. Spain belongs to Spanish people and they decide who gets to live there. Jews in Spain were allies of the Muslim invaders.

The Jews of Barcelona or other regions of Europe are projected as the greatest victims. Of course, they are not the only victims to the communists, socialists and leftists of Europe who voted for the globalist agenda that is allowing the occupation and domination of Europe by barbarians from the 12the Century who advocate Sharia which is incompatible with Western society.

But instead of fleeing, shouldn’t they remain and fight, fight, fight, support the right, stand shoulder to shoulder with those who want to stop this invasion?

After all, this Jewish community benefited a lot from Western society, so let me understand. They benefited a lot, become prosperous, but now they will run away, abandoning those who provided a culture that provided prosperity for them, and ...

... and - didn’t more than a few of them VOTE for the very leftists, socialists, communists, who have done this to them? Who have welcomed in the savages and we have reached the point where now Jewish leaders are saying “flee! leave our benefactors to the wolves!” ... and, I bet the last time a lot of these voted, they VOTED for the politicians who have done this to them?

Shouldn’t they stay and FIGHT those politicians who have done this to them and to Europe instead of “fleeing”?

What sort of cowardly cheats are these?

Everyone should run from Eurostan as quickly as possible and the smarter and richer ones should come here.

Eastern Europe will end up having to fight back again.

Eastern Europe and maybe Russia too. For all of Russia’s faults, I think they are sincerely interesting in preventing a muzzie take-over of their stretch of the globe.
