The Hate That Openly Speaks Its Name

One of the most chilling phenomena of our time is the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. The dirty work, the threats and violence that are causing Jews to leave Europe, is carried out more or less exclusively by young Muslim immigrants.

The most recent case is that of Karel De Gucht, the European trade commissioner. On Thursday he gave an interview to a Belgian radio station, in the course of which he volunteered his opinions on the Jews:

On Thursday, with the Middle East peace process in the news, Mr. De Gucht picked yet another fight. Jews, he told Belgian radio, have a "belief" that they are "always right."

When I stopped at a red light earlier today I saw an awesome flyer:

“Abortion: The Ultimate Hate Crime.”

I blinked.

For real.

For a decade? Sorry my friend but it hasn’t stopped since 1945. I donate when I can to the World Jewish Congress and their newsletters report anti-Semitism is alive and well all over the world, even in South America which was a surprise to me.
