Recently, the ambassador of a major EU country politely told a gathering at my home that the current troubles in the world were all because of "that shitty little country Israel".

I have no doubt that this is the opinion of many in Eurotrash land and in polite Britain. Just look at the U.N. votes of these imbeciles - overwhelmingly against Israel.

Was this a presentation by Chabad Lubabitch, I attended a community lighting at Chabad House in my City before going to my congregations events. It was moving. I missed the internet festivities.

The West London Left is composed of the most irritating, snide, condescending, annoying, and just plain contrary English speaking folks that I have ever met in my life. Let me add, however, that it is as representative of the UK as Hollywood is of the USA. The trouble is that all the money in the country drains into London, and these mallet-heads have infested the nerve centers of most policy-making organizations. And a jug-eared, pencil-necked, ghastly-toothed grinning bunch they are.They have turned London into a pit. Anyone travelling to the British Isles needs to get out of London as fast as is humanly possible.

Where can a Jewish man feel safe walking down the steet wearing his tzitziot out and a kippah on his head?

Montreal, actually.

I'd like to be as optimistic as this author ... but I can't. I believe that anti-semitism is the spiritual canary in this mine shaft of a world. I believe this because I believe there is a hidden powerful leader of evil in this world. Not an author of evil ... just a powerful leader. When I see anti-semitism thriving in any strata of society above the very lowest, skinheaded/sociopath/pervert level ... I start looking for the 'Dark Lord' and his minions to make a move. An earth shattering history uheaving sort of move.

I don't think the darkness personofied in readilly apparent world wide anti-semetism such as we have begun to see (right here on this forum) will go away because OBL blew up the WTC and killed a few thousand Americans. The sort of reformation this author believes in might slow the progress of what is to come. But it won't stop it. A few hundred million islamists are going to do everything they can to kill all the Jews and the citizens of any country who try and stand with the Jews. Do you really think any nation other than the US will attemp to resist such a flood? Will America truly stand with Israel when things get truly threatening?

re : V/ interesting piece here! Glad I live USA and not Euro who are just scared materialist slobs.

And I love you too another whining article about how its not fair and no one likes the Jews.

re : For the past 25 years, I've watched sad-faced Israeli activists trudge around Western capitals with heavy hearts beating under ill-fitting suits.

What bollox the Israelis I met are fit types who dress very well, I am fed up with so called middle class soft whining types whining about my country if they don’t like it sod of, and that goes for Muslims as well as Jews. And Yanks as well.

I know that to a certain type of American patriotism is not how much you love your own country but how much you hate other countries .

You would almost think we were at war with each other the anti Brit crap that gets posted on this site.

Yes there are people who don’t like Jews there are also people who don’t like Muslims, Irish, Scots, other Europeans, blacks, Chinese, there are some who think its all Israels fault some who thinks it all the Arabs thought.

When America controls all its population so that you all think the right thoughts and support the right movement then maybe we follow you and you all be happy.

re : Not much to love about the Argentines, but I was rooting for them against the British.

Do you always root for the losing side, of course if they had fought better maybe I would of been killed when out there , and then we would never of met.

As for Britain and Jewish right to Israel there has been no calls for Israel to be disbanded in Parliament, we have diplomatic representation and there is a lot of cross cultural exchange.

Lack of Blanket support does not mean blanket condemnation.

If you are to hold all British opinion to those who hold an opinion you do not like, what about American rightwing opinion, those who talk of the Great Hoax or as they put it holohoax or talk about ZOG or even the new JCG, Jewish Conspiracy Government.

Stones and glass houses.

Cheers Gentlemen always a pleasure to debate with you.

re : It is not for nothing that Islam finds itself at odds with almost every great nation in the world.

An Islamic and liberal free city, extraordinary.

Oh, no, hardly free of islamic or liberals! (In fact Montreal is the center of Canada's jihadist and islamicist cells.)

However, it has a large, established Jewish community, and is now considered North America's center of Yiddish (and Judaic) culture. Montreal's Jewish community is thoroughly and profoundly pro-American, completely assimilated into (North) American culture and an important element of Canada's Establishment. This does not mean that Canada's Jews are lock-step liberals, because they aren't. In fact, Canadian Jews are somewhat more conservative than US Jews and all these factors combine to form a useful bulwark against the encroachment of islamist influences in Canada.

Barbara Amiel spent many years in Canada, (prior to marrying Conrad Black, and moving back to London), and was a well known-voice for conservatism here.

During the '80's, Canadian Jews became quite impressed with Ronald Reagan, and developed an appreciation for him, far beyond their co-religionists in the US. The comments I'm hearing now about GW Bush, from Candadian Jews mirrors the experience with Reagan. Canadian Jews think he's got it right, and is doing a great job, in fact a far better job than our own leader Johhnie Cretin (Da Moron), who most Canadian Jews consider to be a "shlemiel", a putz and a "farshluffener" .




Shlemiel:  a hapless, unlucky fool
Farshluffener:   a sleepy-head, asleep at the wheel.
