The Jewish religion is under attack in Europe, declared the Conference of European Rabbis president Pinchas Goldschmidt. Many polls (such as the study on behalf of the German Social Democratic Friedrich Ebert Foundation) bring an iconic number measuring the disaster: 150,000,000 Europeans have a delegitimizing and demonizing view of the State of Israel and its citizens.
For a large sector of Europe, the cities, skyscrapers, hospitals, cinemas, and schools on that tiny sliver of land named "Israel" are merely real estate that will be restored to Islam once this malefic Jewish form is swept away.
This is a popular mobilization against Israel in the Raus mit Uns spirit. 150,000,000 Western citizens believe that Zionism is a misconceived project to be brought to an end as soon as possible. It is the consequence of the Palestinian-Islamic psychological war (note: the European Union has just contributed 20 million to the payment of salaries and pensions for April of nearly 76,000 Palestinian Arabs).
(A)ccording to Europes mainstream, peace will prevail when Israel is dismantled, just like tranquility will prevail in the Holy Land when Zionism has been eliminated.

It was one of those rare periods. Banditry no doubt continued, but kingdom on kingdom war ceased while America was created.
There are devout historians who believe there's a true connection between that act and the absence of traditional European wars at that time. I"ve found what seems to be the monogram IHS in the first North American continent size survey ~ also performed in that period.
Men were motivated to make this a good place. There were less motivated to make Europe a good place.
Artificially-induced famine deaths vs. specific, by-design mechanical human slaughter (gas chambers, etc.) are not the same in terms of specific intent. A subtle difference, but an important one, at that.
I have kin who married a Spanish native. SHE blames the Jews for causing WWII.
Yes. Really.
I also believe they are.
Equally poor, equally oppressed and equally misserable.
Uhhh ~ China has a long history ~ there’s been plenty of death dealt there ~
Good point
And Europe exponentially less evangelical than here
Ironically that is not why I support Israel even though tent revival Baptist myself
I’m afraid it is in the cultural DNA. I’m watching the sickness spin out of control in my own family.
Europe needs another smackdown, a serious one this time.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
OH NO; cant quote Churchill.
Comrade Obama hates the filthy colonialist.
I’ve seen it in my family members as well. The anti-Israel propaganda is not only in the mainstream but also in the so-called “alternative” media.
Funny he’s saying nothing about neocolonial moves in Africa by both the European Union and Red China, then . . . and the death of the Monroe Doctrine might also bear a slight mention . . .
Dont forget South and Central America.
We move out of Panama and China moves in for instance.
Nature and politics abhors a vacuum.
Central and South America was why I mentioned the Monroe Doctrine and the death thereof. The chief architect of the Panama Canal fiasco has been going around the Levant with false accusations of “apartheid”, meanwhile . . .
Church minded who support Palestinians?
I got 100$ he’s a “reformed” “Calvinist” and a believer in “replacement theology”.
Church minded, NOT CHRIST Minded or Bible Minded.
BTW, Spaniards might well be the only people in Europe who view Judaism a just a matter of membership in a religion.
You're right on this... appeasement will not work... each 'victory' will be an encouragement for the next. We stand with Israel. It's our line in the sand.
What about intentionally-induced famine deaths like the Holodomor?
