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?''

Maybe when the ACLU wakes up and stops the irrational war on tearing down crosses and Christian symbols in public places. Perhaps they should focus on the raised fists in the streets in solidarity with terrorist thinking of support to destroy Israel. Its not the true Christians railing against Israel but the leftist dreck of the left in the unholy alliance of radical islamic goals.
It’s NAZI Germany all over again.
How ironic (but not surprising to conservatives) that while liberals accused conservatives of being Nazis and little Hitlers, it was really the leftists who had the most in common with Hitler, including his anti-Semitism.
We must resist this new form of an old evil. This cannot be allowed to happen in the United States of America.
They have shown their true colors and its brown as in Brown shirts. We must stop this movement cold before they use their MSM friends to take power and start to do terrible. First villainize a group then .... the real horror starts.
On the bright side, the brownshirts will be the first to go.
Totalitarians don’t need troublemakers once they’re in power.
This serves American Jews right, they are reaping the harvest they have sown. For too many years the Jews in America have given tens of millions of dollars in support of the Socialist Democrac Party, aka Democrat Party. Now they get to learn just what they purchased with all of those dollars going to the left..........Remember, Hitler was a socialist.....
I’m rather more disturbed by the OWS crowd’s anti American character.
I suppose that the writer of the posted article is hesitant about using the word "Democrat" (with a capital "D") to describe these "political leaders" who are not repudiating the antisemitism of the "occupiers." That's partly because their party sees it as working to their political advantage, as the most statistically antisemitic ethnic groups in the country - Muslims, blacks, and foreign born Hispanics - are viewed as key blocs in their party's coalition.
The lack of response to antisemitic activity mirrors what we've grown accustomed to seeing from gutless European "political leaders" who are obviously pandering to their Islamic populations in doing so.
As for the "mainstream American media," they have been, for the most part, a virtual branch of the Democratic Party for decades, so it's hardly a surprise that they too are doing little or no repudiation of the protesters.
It should be noted that Rush Limbaugh has been proactive on his radio show in pointing out the antisemitism among the Occupy Wall Street participants and linking the event to partial sponsorship by Adbusters, a Canadian group with a history of anti-Israel and antisemitic activity. Other national "conservative" radio talk show hosts, such as Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, have also exposed this ugly dynamic.
Sad and true
You are painting with much too broad of a brush. You might be surprised to see how much money from American Jews goes to Republican causes and candidates opposing the tyranny of the 'Rat Party.
Now what do the Leftist, self-hating Jews have to say about it? Crickets chirping...
Not to mention that there are a good many Jewish FReepers who are anything but progressive.
“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.”
He also used them against anyone else who stood up against Hitler. Six million Jews were murdered by Hitler and his henchmen. Another six million were the Christians and others.
This movement is going global. I think we are going to see Israel vs. the World very shortly.
Exactly so.
You cannot know the 1000s upon 1000s of us who will not only rush to the defense but onward to victory and restoration of OUR country as it has been and will be again.
Keep the faith and look to your friends, neighbors and allies—we will not bend!
The ACLU is communist, not Jewish.
“In the present state of affairs I am convinced that we cannot possibly dispense with the trades unions.”
Obama thinks the same thing and the stimulus that was passed helped the unions quite a bit.
The “Occupy” horde is led by students and instructors, and most of the locations are near universities. The movement is also global. They’re the elite, folks, and most of them by far are not Jewish. They’re globally oriented—citizens of the world.
We, as Americans in general, should be moral, old fashioned Americans. If we don’t own nationalism American style (based on good deeds rather than symbols or international coveting), the divide-and-conquer proponents of worldwide empire will. They’ll do so while trying to focus general blame against Jewish people and/or other subgroups of Americans. Too many of our business and political leaders are more attached to their various European and other worldly inclinations and are not faithful to the rest of us (as Americans).
As for Jewish people, of course we need to protect them. That’s part of our heritage (see Protestants of early America, the English Civil War, the meetings in Holland, early American Sephardim, all).
Some quotes from the words of George Washington:
“Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?”
“Nothing is more essential, than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular Nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded...The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.”
“Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.”
AND YET THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY VOTE DEMOCrat
