LONDON — A wave of anti-Jewish attacks — ranging from hate mail and graffiti to stonings, shotgun blasts, gasoline bombs and synagogue bombings — has swept Europe from Britain to Ukraine as the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians worsens in the Middle East.

They're not telling us everything (surprise, surprise!) WHO is doing all this? Is it the Europeans? The moslems? Both? And how about this:

In Belgium, authorities blamed the increased tensions in the Middle East for the attack on the synagogue in the Anderlecht district of Brussels.
     "There is really a climate of hostility, which is a result of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict being transposed into the most troubled district of our capital," said the local mayor, Jacques Simonet.

Excuse me?! They blame the rising tensions in the Middle East and a climate of hostility ???? They make it sound as if the Jews share in the blame. Fine then. Tell me how many MOSQUES have been attacked. How about blaming the perpetrators, hmm?

We're talling about Europe. They'll probably award them the Nobel Prize.

Synagogues burn as European Islamic Immigrants rage.

Exactly- the "thing nobody wants to talk about" behind the europeans silence on this is fear- fear of all those "unassimilated immigrants" they have....

The recent attacks are carried out by peace-loving and tolerant people called muslims, who originate from North-Africa (Morocco and Algiers) in the case of Belgium, France and the Netherlands.

The PC-left are letting them of the hook by telling the public islam forbids all this and so it cannot have been done by mulsims. And the lefties actualy believe this!

The muslims themsleves know what I am talking about. They come to Dutch forums and lie to us about the peace of islam. When I show the evidnece in the koran and hadith that it is not true, they never respond or jump to other things.

When the mulsims start to attack Christians here, the PC people, who have got cuddly toy in the muslims, will find others to blame or blame us for being intolerant towards them. That is why people no longer vote for the socialists and turn to the right, like in Denmark, Portugal, Austria, Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Almost every one I know doens't really trust islam, but no one really cares what these maniacs do to other people.

Now we are safe, but when the islam grows they will start the jihad. Like it happened in Indonesia, Phillipenes, Nigeria and Sudan.

I saw on an American muslim website a call not to start an armed jihad. Not now, the muslims were only a minority. But it also mentioned to wait until...

This renewed world-wide anti-Semitism will be a catalyst for stepping up the pace of the return of Jews to their homeland.

The attacks on synagogues throughout the world, including the bombing of the one in Tunisia (which, more and more, appears to be deliberate terrorism, not the traffic accident that the Tunisian govt tried to claim), are attacks on Jews as Jews, attacks based purely on religion or race without regard to their political activities.

A good many of the synagogue congregants in these European countries - and positively all of them in Tunisia - never sent so much as a dime to support the Israeli govt, maybe never even took part in a pro-Israel parade. They were targetted simply because they were Jews, as distinguished from Zionists.

This was highlighted by the repeated Arab terrorist bombings in the Meah Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem - a neighborhood of Jews so Ultra-Orthodox that they refuse to recognize the State of Israel and insist that it is sinful for Jews to create a Jewish state before the arrival of the Messiah. The bombs in this neighborhood clearly didn't target Zionists, but rather highly religious and decidedly non-militaristic Jews.

A major question is, with synagogues being bombed and burned, what will the European countries do to bring the criminals to justice and to prevent similar crimes. Will the European countries allow in international observer teams to investigate how it is that they have failed to protect their Jewish citizens??
