On Jew-Hatred in Europe

Oriana Fallaci takes no s### from anybody.

Read her essay about Sept. 11 Anger and Pride

[LarryLied]

So many Jews just can't find it in their hearts to repudiate the left

Not even on FR. Notice how every thread about antisemites in Europe or America run up 50, 75, 100 or more replies in no time? But nobody wants to talk about communist antisemites. Few of those so very , very concerned about antisemitism showed up on these two threads. 14 and 9 replies respectively:

Castro s Anti-Semitism and the PLO

Why Do Jewish Organizations Ignore Cuba s Hatred of Israel?

Sure leads credence to the theory that those concerned about antisemitism are not concerned about it at all but rather are pushing a political agenda. Much as the NAACP uses racism to push socialism.

They did not come for the Jews first. They came for the Christians in the Ukraine and murdered over 7 million of them by 1932. The Jews came second.

[Torie]

I have yet to find a Jew at FR that is as moderate as I am (sakic seems to have departed). Most seem to be quite conservative on almost all issues. A couple even toy with nativism. Maybe we read different threads.

[Torie]

James and I seem to have found common ground. All you need to do is reach out, and you make friends in the most unlikely quarters. James, you really need rest. JMO.

I've seen the ADL, Clinton crook Rahm Emmanuel, the ACLU and a Jewish Ladies group which sued to stop "Choose Life" license plates because they "advance Christian fundamentalism" defended on FR. And the Catholic Church (wrongly) bashed for being involved in the Holocaust. Those posters are not what I would call conservatives.

[Torie]

OK, so a minority of Jewish posters find Christian fundamentalism more of a threat than you do. A majority don't. I don't agree with much of the Chritian fundamentalist agenda myself, but I don't consider them a threat. In any event, I would try to maintain some reasonable perspective. Try to focus on each individual on each issue. Just a suggestion.

Both of your statememts in post six are flat lies. If you want a history lesson I'll give you one. Hell..I'll even go as far back as Abraham and give you a lesson from ancient to modern times just to prove your lousy bigoted self wrong. Oh wait...you never answer my posts. I suppose it doesn't matter anyway. Anyone who has even the tiniest amount of knowledge of history can figure out that you have no clue.

[Tasha]

I don't know where the anger is coming from. You might believe me or not, but you are misjudging a large group of people. There are good and bad Jews, as there are good and bads in any other culture. Attacking any ethnic group is just really silly.

[Torie]

If I were to decide that say larger government was a good thing, and that we should spend more, and more on education, and unleash the trial lawyers, and that guns should not be held by private citizens because they are not in a militia, and that racial quotas were essential for the American experiment to succeed, and that the US military adventures starting with the Tripoli through Afghanistan were all evil, and all fueled by the iron triangle of defense contractors, the military, and whomever that third guy was, and well whatever, what I would do is post a closely reasoned essay, with lots of facts, and package it in the most soothing and friendly language possible. Maybe I would last, and maybe I wouldn't. Hit and miss without any facts and dense reasoning would doom me I suspect, or would if I didn't have a track record. As it is, I would probably get some concerned freep mail inquiring as to my mental well being.

[Phillip Augustus]

I find it shameful that this writer vilifies the Europeans for the anti-semitic acts of the Islamic squatters infesting said homelands from within- and implies that the Europeans themselves are the perpetrators of the acts in question!

[Moonman62]

I find it shameful that Sharon can bomb the crap out of Palestinians and then get the American media to focus on the few (by comparison) women and children killed by the "homocide-bombers."

From what I've read and believed, Sharon and the IDF are making a sincere effort to avoid civilian casualties as they weed out the Palestinian terrorists -- not an easy thing to do when the terrorists have no reservations about hiding behind women and children.

In contrast, the Palestinian militants are terrorists who target civilians intentionally.

What kind of Conservative are you? Links to Saul Alinksky, attacks on other Conservatives here all day long. Whine whine whine. Did you see the recent Gallup poll? The GOP is pro-Israel. Go join the Reform Party, Mr. Lied.

It is hard for me to explain to you in a short period of time how the power structure works. No one man or ethnic group can control the media. The people who really do the controling are the stockholders. Since they are hungry for more and more money and bigger and bigger profits, they forced the media to start broadcasting lies and sexual content.
I really don't know if you can believe me, or if you can even try, but it is not the Jews or any other ethnic group, it is simple: money. Caesar once said, money doesn't smell. The media guys took this literally.
