Europe Reimports Jew Hatred
The mythical Arab Street now reaches deep into Paris, London, Berlin and Madrid.
“A Pew study from September shows 25% of Germans and 20% of French are still affected by this virus. In Spain, 46% have unfavorable views of Jews. Is there really no connection between this statistic and the fact that the Spanish media and government are among Europe’s most hostile toward the Jewish state? Is it just a coincidence that Europe’s largest anti-Israel demonstration took place Sunday in Spain, with more than 100,000 protesters?
A 2006 study in the Journal of Conflict Resolution based on the survey in 10 European countries suggests otherwise. Yale University’s Edward H. Kaplan and Charles A. Small found “that anti-Israel sentiment consistently predicts the probability that an individual is anti-Semitic, with the likelihood of measured anti-Semitism increasing with the extent of anti-Israel sentiment observed.”

Granf Mufti and Hitler
Jews around Europe are increasingly under attack since Israel decided two weeks ago to defend itself after years of rocket fire at its civilian population. There have been arson attempts on synagogues in Britain, Belgium and Germany. Police last week arrested Muslim protesters who wanted to enter the Jewish quarter in Antwerp. Several Danish schools with large Muslim student bodies say they won’t enroll Jewish kids because they can’t guarantee the children’s safety. In France, a group of teenagers attacked a 14-year-old girl last week, calling her “dirty Jew” while kicking her.
At rallies in Germany and the Netherlands over the past two weeks, protesters shouted, “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the Gas.” In Amsterdam, Socialist lawmaker Harry van Bommel and Greta Duisenberg, widow of the first European Central Bank president, marched at the front of one such “peace” demonstration. They didn’t join in the background chorus calling for another Holocaust. Instead, they chanted, “Intifada, Intifada, Free Palestine.” Mr. Van Bommel later insisted this wasn’t a call for Jewish blood but for “civil disobedience” — a laughable defense given that terrorists during the last intifada murdered more than 1,000 Israelis.
Most of the anti-Jewish violence and protests in Europe come from immigrants. In what may have been a Freudian recognition of the changing face of Europe, CNN two weeks ago used footage of anti-Israeli protesters in London in a report about the growing anger in the “Arab and Muslim world.” The mythical Arab Street now reaches deep into Paris, London, Berlin and Madrid.
After a burning car was rammed into a gate outside a synagogue in Toulouse last week, President Nicolas Sarkozy issued a statement that was as morally confused as his judgment of Israel’s Gaza offensive. Mr. Sarkozy, who condemned both Hamas terror and Israel’s attempt to stop it, also blurred the distinction between the victims and perpetrators of anti-Semitism in France.
His country “will not tolerate international tensions mutating into intercommunity violence,” he warned, suggesting that the violence in France comes not only from French Muslims but Jews as well. Mr. Sarkozy’s comments also suggest that the fighting in Gaza is the cause for attacks on Jews in France — that is, that the Mideast conflict is fueling anti-Semitism in Europe. It is exactly the other way around.
The rage against the Jews that is exploding in Europe has been carefully nurtured; it is not spontaneous sympathy for fellow Muslims in Gaza. How else to explain the silence when Muslims in other conflicts, from Darfur to Chechnya, are being killed?
The depth of anti-Semitic propaganda in Palestinian and other Muslim societies is one of the most underreported facts about the Middle East. It is this anti-Semitism that predisposes Muslims in Europe to attack Jews and fuels the Mideast conflict. The hatred predates Israel’s creation. To illustrate this point: The Palestinian leader during World War II, Hajj Amin al Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, conspired with Hitler to bring the Holocaust to Palestine. Luckily, the British stopped the German troops in Africa. The Mufti spent the war years in Berlin and was later indicted for war crimes but with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood escaped to Egypt. Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Hamas and other Islamists continue what the Mufti had helped to start: a blend of European anti-Semitism and Islam-inspired Jew hatred. The rejection of Israel’s right to exist is what drives their attacks. The media, though, largely ignores Hamas’s ideology and its crimes of hiding its leaders and weapons among its own civilian population, and demonizes Israel’s attempt to protect its citizens.
Hamas and other Islamists are not even trying to hide their ideology. Just read the Hamas charter or check out Hamas TV, including children’s programs, for a nauseating dose of murderous anti-Semitism. Last week, the French broadcasting authorities banned Hamas TV for inciting violence and hatred. Unfortunately, just like Hezbollah TV, which is also banned in Europe for its anti-Semitic and jihadi content, audiences here can still receive these programs due to Saudi Arabia’s Arabsat and Egyptian satellite provider Nilesat.
The Islamist variation of Jew hatred is now being reimported to Europe. Muslims in Europe, watching Hamas and Hezbollah TV with their satellite dishes, are being fed the same diet of anti-Semitism and jihadi ideology that Palestinians and much of the Middle East consume.
This brings a unique challenge to the difficult integration of Muslims in Europe. When it comes to issues like Shariah law and terrorism, one can expect a true “clash of civilizations.”
There is no Western tradition that would justify “honor killings.” Anti-Semitism, on the other hand, is not alien to Europe’s culture — to the contrary, the Continent once excelled at it and many still share the feeling.

With little hope that the media coverage will become more balanced and the incitement of the growing Muslim community will abate, the Jews in Europe are facing uncertain times.

Europeans as genetic Jew-haters:
1. When Europeans were practicing christians, with no muslims living in europe, they would routinely go out and kill, rape and rob helpless Jews with pogroms, saying that the Jews deserved it and were asking for it and had brought it on themselves. This climaxed with the Holocaust and the slaughter of six million Jews by christian europeans.
2. The Europeans have now transformed into cowardly rational enlightened atheistic liberals. Having driven European Jews to Israel, they now concentrate their Jew-hatred on Israel, and want to complete the job they started with the Holocaust by destroying Israel (the new Final Solution).
3. They have enlisted muslims as their allies in their fight against Jews and christianity (the enemy of my enemy is my friend).
4. Because they are now cowardly and “peace-loving”, instead of killing Jews directly, they use their muslim allies as their proxies, paying Palestinians to kill Jews, selling nuclear technology to Iran, and encouraging pogroms by European muslims against the few remaining European Jews.
5. Their hypocrisy is sickening, but nobody appears to be sickened by it. Look: Only Israel is disproportionate. Only Israel are “international war criminals”. When muslims destroy synagogues, they were “driven to it by their desperation at Jewish atrocities”. But if a Jew dared deface a mosque, he would be hunted down by the authorities like a mad dog.
6. Remember this: According to Europeans, if a Jew does not fight back, he deserves to die because he is a cowardly sheep and was asking for it; and if a Jew does fight back, then he deserves to be killed because he is the only real Nazi.
Conclusion: Europeans really suck. They are genetic Jew-haters. When Europe becomes Eurabia, we will be better off, because then their Jew-hatred will once again be out in the open instead of disguised. But one thing is constant: Europeans = eternal Jew-haters.

This is to be expected of a superstition-ridden country that created the Spanish Inquisition to persecute Jews, Muslims, heretics, and so on (often accusing people so it could confiscate and pocket their money). The Inquisition was, incidentally, active into the early 19th century, long after science and enlightenment had replaced backward superstition in the rest of Europe.
Spanish is a language for losers, the lower socioeconomic class, and second-rate countries, while English is the language of freedom and enlightenment. This is because, once the Spaniards discovered gold in the New World, they decided they did not have to work for a living (through manufacturing), and they bought manufactured goods from the “heretics” in England and Holland. England and Holland discovered new ways to manufacture things, and new ways to build ships–so that, less than 100 years after Spain discovered the New World, the Spanish Armada was blown to bits by advanced English warships, after which most of its crew drowned in a storm.
Who speaks English? Advanced and free countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom (although the latter is going downhill, it did rule most of the world at one time). Who speaks Spanish? Places like Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, and of course Spain. From the 17th century on, Spain often served as parade grounds for foreign armies, except when it was having its own revolutions and mass murders (e.g. Spanish Civil War). Napoleon walked all over these losers, and the British were fairly happy if their Spanish allies stayed out of their way. They were also happy when the Spanish were on the other side, because their ships were relatively easy to sink or capture (prize money!) and Spanish treasure ships were full of gold that was defended only by Spaniards.
There is a great scene in “Sharpe’s Eagle” in which a Spanish regiment throws away its fire at French chasseurs at 200 paces (a range at which one might as well fire a musket at the moon). The Chasseurs realized that they were facing men with empty muskets, decided to try a charge (they reckoned accurately that they had nothing to fear from bayonets if Spaniards were at the other end), and herded the panicking Spaniards like sheep into the neighboring British regiment to destroy it as well.
Maybe the Spanish hate Jews because they know they are a has-been nation, while Israel has advanced sciences and an advanced standard of living to which few Spaniards can aspire.
Oh yes, I almost forgot the bullfight, in which Spaniards demonstrate what passes for courage in that country by torturing an animal to death in a rigged “fight.” In contrast, the Course Landaise (perhaps derived from ancient Cretan bull dancing) involves acrobats who leap over a charging (horned) cow–something that few matadors or picadors have the cojones to try.

I forgot to mention the Battle of San Juan Hill, in which a bunch of Spaniards with better weapons (Mauser rifles versus Krags, and the American artillery still used black powder that gave its position away whenever it fired) and the advantage of high ground ran from a charge by dismounted cavalry, led of course by Theodore Roosevelt.

Jews need to flee Europe for America or Israel and then Europe can wallow in the islamic filth which it has created. The nations of Europe deserve to lose a productive, industrious people and to be overrun by the hordes of non-productive, violent savage muslims which they have indulged and pampered for decades.

Re: #4
Laura, you have come up with a brilliant solution. For every Jew who leaves Europe, Europe should import ten Palestinians. Then Europe can benefit from an almost-daily litany of suicide bombings, “honor killings,” rape, and other forms of mindless violence.

Take a poll of how many Jews, particularly Orthodox Jews, hate Christians and Americans, and you’ll get a balanced view.
Comment by BlandOatmeal — January 16, 2009 @ 9:01 am
Bland, you are wrong about Jews hating America. There are millions of Jews here who have brought much wealth to America and have assimilated with our society, thousands serving in the armed forces to defend our nation. All though in past years, much misery was cast upon the Jewish-American by Christians accussing the Jews of killing Christ. Christians spat, cursed and killed Jews for having those thoughts. Those who believe that were generally stupid and unlearned. As a Jew, I was accepted into my community without a label. My father was an accepted person even though he could not speak good English and he loved America and her citizens.
So where do you get off by accusing Jews unless you were one of those who hates Jews?

Re: #6
Take this poll in the National “Jewish” Democratic Council, and you will find quite a few “Jews” who hate Christians, America, and even Jews. You won’t find many anywhere else, though.

The German-Jesuit EU will soon export its murderous CATHOLIC (not Christian) hatred of Jews to the Holy Land of Israel itself:

Yes, the English-speaking nations of White Israelites who have, as foretold in the Law and the Prophets, been a blessing to our Jewish brethren, as well as the entire world (all things considered), having received and generously shared Joseph’s Birthright.
May Joseph and Judah, Israel and Judah, work together for good and hasten the coming of our King.

Those “generally stupid and unlearned” folk were Roman Catholics - not Christians. Even as most Jews don’t want to be associated with those liberal and godless Jews who often make the headlines and cause great disturbances in both domestic and foreign affairs, the so-called “Zionists” (I always correct folks that Zionists and Zionism are good - that the Jews they’re referring to are evil globalists, UNJews, Hellenists), neither do Bible-believing Christians want to be falsely associated with hateful Roman Catholicism, which we know and understand and expose is nothing but the Babylonian Mystery religion in “Christian” drag, misleading the masses.
