Why Europe Has a Problem with Israel
Prager University ^ | 6/24/13 | Daniel Gordis

Posted on 06/24/2013 8:28:14 PM PDT by ReformationFan

Why do so many in Europe feel so much hostility to the most open and liberal democracy in the Middle East? Daniel Gordis, President of the Shalem Center, zeroes in on the source of the problem in this fascinating look at the complex relationship between Europe, Israel and the Arab World.

Because you can insult the Jews and Israel and they don’t blow up things or cut off the head of the insultor.

Simple, Europe needs oil and cannot afford to do,without it. Until recently, the only real place for them to get it was the ME.

Exactly! Look at Sweden,they are so bent over that they tolerate the gang rape of their children by Muslims. The rest of Europe is pathetically the same.

That be it, in a nutshell.

Being as Western Europeans are willing to sell their children into Arab harems for favorable petroleum access, antisemitism comes easy as pie.

No surprise. They did the same for the Nazis in the 1940's.

Not.

Norway is literally drowning in oil, and is still so infested with Jew-hatred and love for muslims that the Norwegian National Couple (once Ola&Kari) is now the same-sex couple Vidkun&Mohammed, or so it seems, and PC Norwegians take considerable pride in calling themselves “Blue-eyed Arabs”.

A consensus of “enlightened” parties seem now to be bringing the “Jew-clause” in Norwegian law back in force by trying to ban religious circumcision. They use, among others, this fellow:

I looked it up.

What is your purpose to smear Norwegians by implying they are called blue eyed Arabs because they love Muslims and pride being anti Semites?

When you know damn well the Petro world calls them blue eyed Arabs because they have a buttload of oil

This thread is typical little FR dig a group here do.....toss out something maybe or maybe not European anti semitism and troll for incorrect answers

Then claim the West and America and even the forum is overrun with Jew haters

All this self abuse and most Jews ....70% minimum....detest what most here stand for

They don’t appreciate the zeal here for ferreting out anti Semites real or imagined

Meanwhile our leaders.......which of course includes all the non appreciative ...and plenty of GOP traitors.....is selling our nation out as an entitlement whorehouse for the third world

A Rubicon if crossed will destroy our birthright

And you guys are worried about what Norway thinks about Israel?

Good lord.....what is the real issue for you guys

Not as such. It has been a popular self-term since the first oil finds.

You implied Norwegians are called blue Arabs because they are anti Semites.

Which is wrong.

You seem to have a hard on for them.

Oh. Lol.

You got your chain of thought a bit tangled.

It’s a self-designation, with pride, in the antisemite part of the population. That part is growing, as Norwegians, by and large, always marxist are turning to muslim alliances.

How do I know? I live here. And my doubledamnedtohell family is trying to murder - very literally - my Jewish fiance/partner who is in the US.

So you have a Jewish girlfriend and see fiords teeming with Nazis

Funny I seem to recall them resisting Nazis at quite a cost and executing their collaborator in chief

Oh and BTW....I had Jewish girlfriends too

Didn’t give me any more special insight into prejudice than sleeping with mullatos or marrying a latina did

Same old southern boy....redneck to you fancy folks

Why didn’t you just say from jump street you’re a show dog?

Good luck with all that

You seem to be loaded down with images culled from bad comics. Yes, we sunk Blucher with a boatload of germans.

I even met one of the regiment who took the King, H7, up through the country and got him on a British ship in Tromsø.

As for the murder attempt, which is ongoing:

Well, it’s very easy to get stuck in the templates, as it were. The heroes of Telemark - which was also true. But most of the actual quislings went free, and back into political life.

The Nazi residue has almost died off, but the European population has become less and less European. Thanks ReformationFan.

Norway is literally drowning in oil,...

Sort of, and sort of not.

Norway's oil production has been in decline since 2000, down by one third now (Norwegian Sea Oil). However Norway has had a couple of possibly major discoveries recently, with a catch, they are claimed by Russia, the player that now gets their way in Western Europe.

Additionally, Norway oil is moving into decommissioning costs, bottom line, it is unlikely that Norway can save any of Western Europe other than maybe Norway. Norway has demonstrated the ability to get along with Russia when Russia is strong, and I suspect that she will do that again, resulting in Russia controlling the majority of Western European petro energy for decades to come.

I suspect that Europeans are soon to learn that Russians have long memories.

I take at face value the rest of your post.
