German Jewish leader advises against skullcaps in cities (because of Muslims)
Associated Press ^ | April 24, 2018 | Associated Press

Germany's main Jewish leader says he would advise people visiting big cities against wearing Jewish skullcaps, following a street assault last week on two young men wearing them.

The attack in Berlin, in which a 19-year-old Syrian asylum-seeker is a suspect, added to growing concern in Germany about anti-Semitism.

Josef Schuster, the head of Germany's Central Council of Jews, told broadcaster Radioeins Tuesday that wearing a skullcap is right in principle, but that he was advising individuals "against showing themselves openly with a kippa in a big-city setting in Germany, and wear a baseball cap or something else to cover their head instead."

Schuster suggested three years ago that Jews shouldn't wear skullcaps in areas with large Muslim populations. But he stressed there's increasing anti-Semitic sentiment among non-migrants.

Hitler would roll over in his grave to see how cowardly Germany has become, oh, and the bloodlines, don’t get me started on the messed up Aryan blood.

Actually this is precisely what Hitler wanted. He thought the German people weren’t “good enough” to win the war, and that they deserved their fate.

"I was in my 20s and couldn’t believe that conditions would ever repeat themselves for another Holocaust. Marv’s expression would change to seriousness and he would say that it would someday turn ugly. I see it now and have been for a long time now.

First, as someone who is part Jewish, I have to say that the secular liberal wing of Judaism has been entirely wrong in their approach to the world, and they are inviting disaster. The proper approach to what happened in Nazi Germany is to be vigilant against dictators - not try to dictate a liberal world view.

The idea that 'educating' the world in secular thought and pushing a transition to multicultural liberal societies will prevent group identity and protect against group hate is absolutely, tragically, and dangerously erroneous. In fact, working to subvert and change the way of life people from different nations have established and feel connected to will do just the opposite - it will breed hatred and resentment and lead to factions and unrest. This does absolutely nothing to ensure that another Holocaust won't happen. Just look at Soros' negative impact on the world, and how increasingly divided the US and Europe are becoming. Trying to force rapid change to push a way of life you personally think is how we all should live is both arrogant and destructive.

Nah, that doesn’t work. To Muslims, Abraham was a Muslim, and the Jews corrupted the true religion that he practiced, even though he lived long before the Koran was written. It makes no sense, but that’s what is in their crazy book, so they believe it.

Of course the kippa is only relevant as an identifier. The problem western Europe has is an increasingly large population of people who want to kill Jews. It's a tenet of their religion, after all. Making it harder to identify Jews doesn't address that problem. Any more than keeping women indoors would address the rape problem in some European cities. Related threads and articles

Jews going Goetz on their asses might. Or decoying them with lone, harmless-looking Jooo! walking down the street, and a whole posse of burly, feisty Jooos! waiting in parked cars. Leaving en masse would not be a bad idea, either. Especially those secular Tel Aviv-ites who came for bigger, cheaper Milky puddings. The real price is too steep. But then, they don’t wear kippas anyway, so b’te’avon.
