French Jews Tell of a New and Threatening Wave of Anti-Semitism

Union of Progressive Jews

These are the same knuckleheads who, when Hitler was rampaging across Europe, said to themselves, "Oh, he doesn't mean us, he's talking about the Ostjuden (those Kikes in Poland)."

Emigrate to Israel .... sometimes it's just time to beat feat. France is lost.

[Porterville]

The Liberals are showing their hand of Anti Semitism, a culmination of 40 years of fermenting communism. Typical liberals, full of hate.

[Centurion2000]

Its only a matter of time until it becomes the Islamic Republic of France

Let's start calling the place Francostan already.

[dennisw]

Another reason France sucks and the Islamic freekazoids are making it suck even more.

"Does 1940-1945 come to mind?"

Only this time we have George Bush at the helm. We will never again permit what happened to the Jewish people.

Anti-Semitism is on the rise all over Europe, all over the world I guess. I had some neighbors who did some missionary work in the Ukraine a couple of years ago and came home saying that the anti-Semitism there was just about equal to the pre-WWII days. The new surge of anti-Semitism, as the article states arises from a different segment this time around. The new wave comes from anti-Israel sentiments of the left. The left hates Israel and the US for their capitalistic economic success, their freedom and their adherence to religions which place God above state, while supporting free will.

The left has decided that they can live with Islam because first of all in most Islamic countries, the religion is the state and second of all is the old enemy of my enemy is my friend rule.

Vive La France.

[Nachum]

Nothing has changed in Europe.

Where are the Catholics? Where are the denunciations of these atrocities? Where are the Catholics who run the schools? Where is the Catholic leadership in France while this is going on?

One can only conclude that they are full of good excuses about how righteous they really are and aren't turning a blind eye to this evil. In 50 years, we'll hear how the Pope really was working for Jews all along but had to do it quietly for fear that the damage to Jews would be greater.

The silence of the Church on this is deafening.

Yoni,

I'm seeing a disturbing pattern here:

Peace demonstrators in France stab 2 Jewish boys

According to the Jewish Agency, Anti-American demonstrators attacked and wounded two young boys Saturday. The boys were participating in an educational activity of the Hashomer Hatsa'ir youth movement, taking place nearby.

The Jewish Agency called on the French government "to assume its responsibility for the security of its Jewish citizens, and to prevent violence against Jews or anti-Semitic acts under the guise of pacifist protest".

Too busy condemning American "atrocities" in Iraq.

As a Catholic, I can tell you that many in the Catholic leadership have become too left-leaning and pro-Palestinian.

Even the Pope, who should know better than appeasing tyrants, has jumped into the leftist bandwagon.

I am getting so sick and tired of the term, "Anti-semitism," as applied to arabs. Arabs are semites, as are Israelis. Let's call this what it REALLY is: Jew Haters!

The simple fact is that arabs hate Jews. Not Israelis: Jews. They want them dead. The only people that arabs hate more that palestinians are Jews, and they have no problem using the palis as cannon fodder in order to kill as many Jews as possible.

Simple.

What do you mean?

Volunteer for the Belgian Judenraat or Camp Capo.

Right! They need to grow a pair and kick the sh#t out of the ragheads. Most of the ragheads I know couldn't fight their way out of a paper sack.

Do you know a FReeper who goes by the name of Zionist Conspirator?

Where are the Catholics?

Less than 4% of French people attend Mass. That statistic means that there are 2.4M practicing Catholics in France and 6M Muslims.

Where are the denunciations of these atrocities?

I've seen no reports of the reaction of Jean-Marie Cardinal Lustiger, Archbishop of Paris. But Cardinal Lustiger is (a) of Jewish descent and (b) was instrumental in denouncing and exposing the scurrilous anti-Semitism of the Abbe Pierre, one of his own colleagues. I would be quite surprised if he has been quiet about this.

Where are the Catholics who run the schools?

Many of the administrators who run French Catholic schools aren't even Catholics themselves.

Where is the Catholic leadership in France while this is going on?

The leadership of Catholic France is Cardinal Lustiger. I am trying to track down his reaction for you.
