From Nazis to Jihadists: Antisemitism, the cancer of the West.
Opinion: The blatant and violent antisemitic attacks in the Netherlands show Europe has learned nothing from its dark past and now Jihadists reenact its Nazi history.
This is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, with residents from 180 countries. The Dutch aren’t the majority, nor are those of European descent. In the early 2010s, the Dutch made up 50% of the population but had dropped to 44% by the start of this decade. The largest group after the Dutch is close to 80,000 Moroccan immigrants, followed by Suriname with about 63,000 and Turkey with around 45,000.
Amsterdam was supposed to be like Berlin, London and Paris — a haven for opponents of nation-states and advocates of open borders and multiculturalism. A model of a free, open city, but we didn’t need the Maccabi Tel Aviv riots to know these were illusions.
Exactly two decades ago, in November 2004, filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered in Amsterdam by Mohammed Bouyeri, a young man of Moroccan descent. This was the first Islamist murder in the Netherlands. Van Gogh had published critical articles on Islam and immigration and directed Submission, a film against the oppression of women in Islam, written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who was then a Muslim parliament member of Somali descent. So, nothing began last weekend. The signs were there all along. In May, pro-Hamas demonstrators rioted at the University of Amsterdam. They shattered and vandalized, causing about €4 million in damage. Authorities said they had no idea who was responsible for the rampant vandalism even though video footage of the event was widely available.
This is what a pogrom looks like, this is the new antisemitism.
New hate records: Amsterdam pogrom reflects alarming trend across Europe Israel urges citizens to leave Amsterdam after lynching of Israeli soccer fans No one was arrested. Most of those detained from the Maccabi Tel Aviv riots have already been released. After all, no one wants to pick a fight with a growing community of jihadists. And generally, speaking out against immigrants is off-limits.
The attack comes from two directions: the progressives label you a "racist" and the jihadists might do to you what they did to Van Gogh. Even Geert Wilders, head of the Party for Freedom, the largest in the Netherlands and labeled as "far-right," requires a constant security detail. Europe is in trouble. In 2017, Douglas Murray published “The Strange Death of Europe”, where he took on the liberal fantasy that has led and continues to lead to an influx of immigrants across the continent. But let’s be precise: the problem isn’t with all immigrants. Hindus, for example, have been a success story in both the U.S. and the UK. It’s no coincidence that the UK’s prime minister comes from an immigrant family. Kemi Badenoch, recently elected as head of the UK Conservative Party, is from a Nigerian immigrant family. The problem lies with those immigrants who come without intending to integrate. They fled oppressive countries only to turn the countries they’ve moved to even darker. The protesters and rioters belong to this second group. They come to impose Sharia law. They hide nothing. It’s worth being specific: out of tens of thousands of Muslims in Amsterdam, only a relatively small part participated in the pogrom. But that’s exactly the point. You don’t need more than a few thousand, especially when they have support. It’s no secret that Qatar, which funds Hamas, also funds countless mosques and radical imams across Europe. The incitement is systematic and constant. Europe has been unable to stop it.
All warnings are met with the unyielding barrier of the red-green coalition — radical progressives and Islamists. This coalition is demonstrating in the streets of major cities in the West. It’s the racist, antisemitic cancer entrenched in every Western nation. Just a day before the night of the riots in Amsterdam, protesters surrounded a synagogue in Montreal. Without police intervention, it could have ended in a lynching. Such incidents have become routine in a feeble, appeasing West. These aren’t protests for Palestinian rights; they’re campaigns of hatred, racism and antisemitism. This isn’t happening in a vacuum. Leading Western media outlets, not just Al Jazeera, fuel the hatred by continuously broadcasting propaganda about Israel’s supposed crimes. Just last week, CNN aired a report on the impact of Israeli bombings on 19 hospitals in Lebanon. There wasn’t a single word about a year of rocket launches at Israel, or that it wasn’t hospitals but nearby Hezbollah sites that were struck. Nor was there any mention of the devastation that always follows wherever a Sunni or Shia jihad rises. Any reasonable viewer, not only a Muslim, exposed to this constant incitement would feel compelled to take to the streets with a firebomb to target Jewish institutions or Israelis. This fuel is spread by the pseudo-liberals, aligning seamlessly with the rhetoric preached in Muslim Brotherhood mosques.
There’s no reason for optimism. Even the backlash against immigration, which is strengthening right-wing and far-right parties, won’t change anything. It’s too late. And nothing will satisfy the rampaging jihadists. They’re obeying their imams, aiming to impose Sharia law. They’re a small minority but a dominant one.
Muslims are their victims as well. And when a Jew or Israeli in today’s Amsterdam must hide their identity or needs a police escort to visit the Anne Frank Museum, it’s clear Europe has neither learned nor forgotten anything. The Nazi cancer already destroyed Europe once. The jihadist mutation could do it again.
Blatant violent antisemitic attacks in Netherlands show Europe learned nothing from its dark past & now Jihadists reenact its Nazi history; since they have imported muslims by the millions, they expect different?
They woke mob branded Trump a “racist” for that ban..
That is an outstanding analysis by Ben-Dror Yemini. Thanks for posting. The author thinks it’s too late to change or alter Jihad by Emigration and the west has lost. He is pragmatic and presents compelling evidence such as the unholy alliance of progressives and moslem jihadists.
But, is he right?
Guessing “NEVER AGAIN!” doesn’t mean ‘never’ “never”?
One guiding principle of every liberal is “This time it will be different.” But of course it never is.
It’s not just liberals alone who are responsible for this mess. Consider this idiot. He had a once-in-a-millennium chance to put Islam back in its box. Instead he told one and all:
Pot, kettle. There are many Jews who learned nothing, intent on opening the West to non-Western immigrants and their ways.
The Biblical Book of Obadiah describes the end of Edom/Esau, which represents Western Civilization.
Now that W's vice-president and daughter fully soiled their panties with endorsements of and campaigning for Harris-Walz, and because the Iraq war has come to the result of Iraq now making nine-year-old girls marriageable, and the Taliban back in control of Afghanistan, it seems Bush II has fully sullied his reputation and history of "mission accomplished."
Unless "mission accomplished" meant something other than what is seemed....
Step one, if you’re from another country and you want trouble here in the US, you’ll be permanently leaving on a jet plane, with your whole immediate family.
That especially includes antisemite protestors. See ya.
That is an eminently sensible thing to do. If you are a guest here in the USA, you must play by our rules and laws. If you don’t, you should be kicked out. Gone. Professor Victor D Hanson has been saying that for a long time.
Let’s pray it comes to pass.
Sad thing is he couldn’t help it. His family has been tied to the Arab oil cartels for decades. He paints a propaganda picture in order to maintain and grow the family’s wealth, at the risk of the rest of America. He’s part of the ruling elite, doncha know. So....pray no other member of that dynasty ever sets foot in Congress or the Presidency again.
“from nazis to jihadists” this should be corrected to “from communists to jihadists”
So an entire generation of young Americans risked their lives eighty odd years ago fighting the real Nazis to save Europe and end the Holocaust and here it is again.
Insane.
Exactly
Soros/Haaretz are anti religious Jews.

Their love for Jewish blood and death is exactly why Israel must always exist.

Fritz Grobba was in the course of a quarter-century successively the German envoy to Kabul, Baghdad, and ar-Riyadh, and the senior official for Muslim and Arab affairs within the Foreign Ministry . Interrogated by the Soviets immediately after World War II , he told them about Hitler’s plan to deport the Jews of Palestine as soon as the Nazi troops arrived.
...In Egypt, too, the Germans built the foundation for an alliance. Wilhelm Stellbogen, press attaché and director of the German News Bureau in Cairo, acting for the Abwehr, paid Muslim Brotherhood leader al-Banna about one thousand Egyptian pounds a month in 1939 and probably before as well. To show how proportionately large were these sums, the Brotherhood’s high-priority fund-raising for the Palestine cause that year yielded just five hundred Egyptian pounds.
Al-Husaini gave more German money to al-Banna through such inter-mediaries as Auni Abd al-Hadi, Muhammad Ali Tahir (Mohamed Ali El Taher), and Sabri Abd ad-Din...
