Israelis worried by anti-Semitic flavor of 'Occupy Wall St.' protests

A growing number of Israelis and foreign Jewish groups are expressing concern over the anti-Semitic flavor of some of the "Occupy Wall St." economic protests in the US. From the 13th century expulsion of Englands Jews to the 19th century Russian pogroms to the Nazi Holocaust, sour economic conditions have historically formed the backdrop of rising anti-Semitism.(snip) Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper called the anti-Semitic outbursts ''hard to watch,'' and an Israeli commenter said, ''It's just like pre-World War II Nazi Germany. You think blood libels can't happen in America?''

The ‘k’ word has been taught to these people. A racial slur against Jews. I heard a young woman use it on Hannity, early this past week.

The “Occupiers” just want to party like it’s 1939.

Dear God. Where will all this end up? This is NOT my country.

We (Gentiles) must stand up for the Jews and condemn this MESS that Barack Hussein Obama and his “useful ignoramuses” revel in. - Loud enough so he HEARS! Koch, where are YOU? Why are you now silent? - Let’s not be like many of the German people before the war, cowering and worshipping at the altar of Hitler. NOW, they understand, but too late, too late. - Marxism? No thanks. National Socialist Party (Nazi Party)? No thanks.

What the Israeli people should be (and are) worried about is not the fringe rabble in the streets, but the fact the America has a radical-left, lawless government that is supporting and favors such anti-America, anti-semitic activity to further the dismantling of the American Constitutional Republic.

THAT is the real root problem here.

It's not just Israelis and foreign Jewish groups.

Hinaini. I'm American born and bred (and even Constitutionally eligible to be President).

Of course, it's not just the OWS folks who concern me. I also fear the folks occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Exactly. Nazis and Commies love OWS.

Agreed. Not mine, either.

Moving right along to the Jews aren't they?

People really need to get into the history of the nazis to really see what's going on here. The nazis didn't start with the Jews, they started with the capitalists and made a quick step to the Jews inside of a year after gaining power. When you look at nazi writings prior to the 1930s, there is actually relatively little said about the Jews. In fact very early in Hitler's rein, "progressive" Jews often spoke well of him. (There is a quote about that in pt 3 of the documentary)

Third Reich - The Rise 1/6

Gold is not neccesary. I have no interest in gold. We will build a solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above the set prices, let him be marched off to a concentration camp. That's the bastion of money.

-Adolph Hitler

I think that I have already answered the first question adequately. In the present state of affairs I am convinced that we cannot possibly dispense with the trades unions. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions in the economic life of the nation. Not only are they important in the sphere of social policy but also, and even more so, in the national political sphere. For when the great masses of a nation see their vital needs satisfied through a just trade unionist movement the stamina of the whole nation in its struggle for existence will be enormously reinforced thereby.

Before everything else, the trades unions are necessary as building stones for the future economic parliament, which will be made up of chambers representing the various professions and occupations.

They should be concerned...you have a President who even today said he supports them and you have the media that REFUSES to show the anti anti semitism that is going on..all they show are the hippies who are singing give peace a chance and talking about rich people “Paying their fair share” they dont bring up the fact that the American Nazi Party supports them and the horrible anti semitic comments that these protestors have been spewing

[justiceseeker93]

Ping!!!

Jews in this country are scratching their heads at the democrat support of these antisemetic occipiers.

[MarkL]

It's too bad so many American Jews have their heads in the sand about it.

Obama put forth the idea of a "civilian force." In the 1930s, Germany had one of those, known as the SA. Didn't work out that well for the German Jews, most of whose families had been in Germany (or the Austro-Hungarian Empire) for generations. They were loyal citizens, many had served honorably in the wars over the generations.

And Pelosi has thrown her support behind them, meaning that the democrat party has as well, as have most leftist publications and media. With the influx of union and dem money, it's pretty obvious that Obama will use these "useful idiots" as foot soldiers to try getting him elected. And their handlers could easily lose control of them, unleashing a mob, though that could well be the goal of many on the left. It would certainly be in the playbook or people like Piven and her dead husband. This could get ugly before the American Jewish public realizes it.

It wouldnt surprise me if CAIR or similar Islamists are funding a lot of the American anti-semetic groups.

They shouldn’t be. History has shown if you scratch a leftist, you uncover an anti-semite.

[muawiyah]

That’s a positive step up from fearing the people who live in the Corn Belt.
