Anti-Semitism Sweeps Europe in Wake of Gaza Operation

Many European newspaper commentators are saying that concerns about anti-Semitism in Europe are overblown. They argue that the Jew haters are a tiny minority on the extreme political right who are given far more attention than they deserve. They also say that those concerned about the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe are confusing legitimate criticism of Israeli policies with anti-Semitism.

But myriad polling data show that all across Europe, the fine line between valid criticism of Israel and anti-Semitism has been dangerously blurred. An opinion poll in Germany, for example, shows that more than 50 percent of Germans equate Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians with Nazi treatment of the Jews. Sixty-eight percent of Germans say that Israel is waging a “war of extermination” against the Palestinian people. In terms of Europe as a whole, another poll shows that the majority of Europeans regard Israel as the greatest threat to world peace...

Not much background info on the perps in the article.

It’s happening on the streets of San Francisco and in other American cities; just purposely not reported by the media for obvious politically-correct reasons. Remember, the President elect is “Hussein Obama” who had call centers in Gaza. And, no one wants to shock the clueless Liberal Jews that voted for the Messiah. The fact that history is repeating itself won’t bother the sheeple until it knocks on their doors.

Could Jews be given asylum here if things got real bad there?

Could Jews be given asylum here if things got real bad there?

wouldn't it be cheaper to give every Jew in europe a 9mm and 500 rounds?

No. They would be kept out as illegal aliens and undesirables.

The Mohammadans in our midst are modern day NAZIs to be sure.

I suppose there are a few dozen neo-Nazis scattered about here and there.

But it’s a foolish pretence that antisemitism is a disease of the right. Almost all of it, for the past couple of decades at least, has been a disease of the left.

And, of course, the dirty little secret that they don’t like to admit is that Hitler, too, was a leftist. The Nazis and the Communists were both forms of totalitarian socialism, and they hated each other because they were competing for the same ground and the same supporters.

You don’t have to look far to find antisemitism in Europe. You see it in the BBC, Reuters, Agence France Presse, and on university faculties.

Germany comparing Israeli actions to the Nazis? Well, now there’s a ringing endorsement.

If I were a leftist bib-dribbler or spoon-clanger, I certainly would also be complaining that Israel’s “genocide” is taking far too long. I mean, come on, didn’t they kill more people in Darfur and Rwanda in a shorter amount of time? Of course, being a leftist bib-dribbler, it’s more fun to poop on the Jewish state whilst downing a latté chatting to my Che Guevara-shirt friends at Starbucks than to worry about those other countries.

Europe 1945: NEVER AGAIN!

Europe 2009: Well, maybe just once more.

USA Liberals: Don't forget us - We hate Jews too!

BINGO!
