The increasing antisemitism in the Western world is a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. JA21 is doing just that. That’s why we organized a symposium on Saturday, June 1st, with Douglas Murray, Esther Voet, David Suurland, Machteld Allan, Hans Wallage, and Boaz Cahn. Here is the full speech by Douglas Murray.

It's long. I listened to it all as I ate and fixed our broken bed, not in that order and not at the same time.

100% worthwhile. Didn't bother with the Q&A afterwards, because our bed was already fixed, and my reward of a snack and drink with my pills didn't last long enough for the Q&A.

Thanks for posting. I’ll listen to it when I sit down for coffee.

“The increasing antisemitism in the Western world is a problem that urgently needs to be addressed.”

I worked at a job in Houston and was amazed at the hostility of my co-workers aimed at people from Louisiana. It was amazing. One of my black co-workers, who was also from Louisiana, expressed disgust at it to me. My co-workers did not know I was from Louisiana since I evidently did not fit their pattern of someone from Louisiana. They would be embarrassed when they unloaded about people from Louisiana in my presence and another co-worker whispered something in private.

These were the same people who would express disgust at what they considered racial animus at the same table.

My point is a question: Why anti-Semitism, hostility aimed at a race, more wrong than hostility aimed at any other group? Had I been Jewish and they said the exact same thing about Jews, I could have gotten them fired.

It’s been a thing for thousands of years, based on various pretexts. Regional animus comes and goes. anti-Semitism is forever. Why? The fact remains. The pretext changes, as Mr. Murray expounds at length. Blacks have a different physical appearance, so that makes them a target. Jews, however, are often indistinguishable from anyone else, and the bias continues.

Dutch reads like something from 14th century England.

Define anti-semitism? Not being able to criticize Israel and their national policies. Unable to criticize Jews with whom you disagree? That is not anti-semitism. Take your lumps, because Jews and Israel are not special.

If you think about it, why should anybody or thing be off limits for criticism? If it is physically violent, it breaks a law. If it hurts feelings? suck it up buttercup..

Anti-semitism in the West seems to be equal parts muslim immigrants and wacked out leftists, both of whom want to Destroy Western Civilization.

The muslims were unwisely brought in by globalistas and their populaces are unwilling to eject them. muslims will out breed locals this century, and Western Europe will be gone.

Had anti-semitism merely been a problem of radical leftists who don’t reproduce, it would not be the fundamental problem that will ruin them.

Now, it is far too late. I recommend all sentient Christians and Jews leave Western Europe for the sake if their progeny.

It’s not hard to identify. Tearing down posters of hostages, celebrating the October 7 massacre on October 8, those are pretty easy to classify as anti-Semitism, and those are the subject of the lecture.

Shooting a straw-man argument from the hips that’s entirely unrelated to Douglas Murray’s lecture might be motivated by anti-Semitism, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, and instead call you a dum bass flaunting his arrogance and and proudly wallowing in his ignorance.

I take plenty of lumps, and dish them out, too.

Why not just f@#$ like mad and keep up with the Muslim immigrants.

That would work if Westerners were into self abnegation.

America.

We should welcome the few who can properly read the tea leaves. They will be the productive citizens. Leave the Eurotrash socialists behind to their grandchildren’s decimation and subjugation.

Murray’s drunk German autist-language hurts my eyes and offends me. Speaking Dutch should be illegal.
Making criticism of one group illegal, with criminal penalties is not only euroish but violates the 1st amendment.

It’s a sign of the end times. Christians will also be hated.

They used to be out of necessity. They will be again as Europe morphs into Eurabia and from there inevitably into You’reashitholia. So why not get into the habit now, while they have the means, before they founder. Gentlemen, start your engine, and hire Phillipinos nannies. You can bang them, too, if the wife doesn’t mind. She can take care of her kids’ half siblings by your wife, and be honored as your concubine, just as it was unofficially in Victorian days.

I’m sure Keir Starmer is very concerned about the American 1st Amendment.

The worldwide anti-semitism will drive the US and European Jews to Israel, in fulfillment of prophecy.

That’s been going on for a long time already.
