Europe’s getting scary. They have a lot of islamics now to push them on anti-Jew stuff already.. Plus the socialism bill is coming due, and someone’s gonna be a scapegoat. You know how that’s always gone.

[scooby321]

in a way the jewish people have always been setup by themselves. I see in America the jewish people have by a large number supported many causes like Plan Parenthood, ACLU and Democrats.

Many vocal Jewish leaders hate Israel main backers and anti-semite groups, such as Spielberg, Babs and even Anti Deformation former President Edger Brofman.

You get what you chose.

Jew-hatred in a supposedly enlightened, humane, liberal society.

It's Jew-envy, not Jew-hatred, and England is diseased with envy on all levels, it's not just the Jews. Envy is the motivation behind leftism, including leftist Jews attempting envy deflection. Shame is the most effective counter-attack against envy, but it needs to be brought upon the perpetrators. Envy has to be fought holistically, not at the special interest level.

... Anti Deformation...

I think you mean Anti-Defamation, don't you? Yes, I know it's nitpicking...

I don’t envy the Jews I’m rather attached to my foreskin and love bacon rolls.

“I don’t envy the Jews I’m rather attached to my foreskin and love bacon rolls.”

LOL!!! That’s a great response!

On another note, I’ve watched videos of two Christian preachers (American, Protestant) this week - one referred to “The Protocols” every few minutes, the Illuminati, Freemasons, the Rothschilds and the Satanic Jewish plot to take over the world. The second went right straight to pointing out drawings of “Jews murdering Gentile children and drinking their blood” and on to expound on his belief that Jews are the spawn of Satan.

Now I see a lot of posts from people condemning Jews for not embracing Conservatism. These comments do not make us feel particularly welcome. I always want to say, “Remove the log from your own eye...” AND THEN you might see a change in Jewish attitudes towards Conservatives.

“
The Jewish Question: British Anti-Semitism
“

I remember a British officer saying soon after WWII (in so many words):
“Actually anti-Semitism was quite fashionable in England. Then that
Hitler fellow came along and rather over-did it.”

[Reeses]

Many people envy Jewish intelligence and what flows from that, although no one ever admits to being envious. Ironically the special evolutionary pressure behind Jewish intelligence is envy. When envy erupts, in general the less intelligent die in greater numbers, and the smarter ones get away. Hitler killing half the European Jews had the effect of measurably bumping up the IQ of the Einsteins that survived, probably the greatest amount of human evolution to occur last century. This process has been going on for thousands of years and each iteration results in even more envy. Because the Jews are almost always outnumbered, the most common way they deal with envy is by appeasement, such as becoming leftists, friends of the green eyed monster. The Jews fear getting killed by the left, not by conservatives, so the strategy is effective although imperfect.

[MadMitch]

No offence but Jewish intelligence is a bit of a sterotype, no doubting there are and have been intelligent jews but at the same time there have been many that are far Einstein material.
For the record I’ve nothing against jews, I don’t think I’ve ever met that many to be honest.

[the scotsman]

There was antisemitism in upper class pre ww2 Britain. But much less if little amongst the working class and middle class. And remember the British people have always rejected extremes, be it Oswald Mosley then or the BNP now.

Jewish intelligence is a bit of a sterotype

If you or someone in your family needs a doctor for emergency brain or open heart surgery, this stereotype is a useful starting point. The evolutionary purpose of stereotypes is to keep you alive, mainly in situations when you have to make a decision in seconds with incomplete information.

[Katya]

I’m assuming you live in the hinterlands... otherwise you might have noticed in most cosmpolitan areas, the jewish people have reached the highest pinnacle of every sort of endeavour.

[rmlew]

The BNP is openly at least less antisemitic than the left. (Not a fan of them, where I a limey, I’d vote UKIP)

[MadMitch]

Well hopefully I’ll never need emergency brain surgery but if I ever do the doctor is more likely to be Indian than jewish.

[MadMitch]

Not sure I’d describe Edinburgh, Scotland as the hinterlands but I just dont’t think we have a very large jewish population in this city. Malcolm Rifkind who used to be a MP and cabinet member is the only high profile one I can think of.

[Reeses]

I ever do the doctor is more likely to be Indian than jewish.

Brain surgery is not the right time to go with the discount low bidder. Most Indians are imported because they are cheap, not because they are especially good. With 1.2 billion people, India is bound to produce some great brain surgeon exports, but what are their contributions to the field of neurology as compared to the much smaller population of Jews?
