Barcelona Chief Rabbi Urges Jews to Leave Spain: 'This Place Is Lost'
HAARETZ ^ | Aug 18, 2017

Commenting on deadly attacks in Catalonia, the chief rabbi of that region in Spain said that his community is doomed, partly because of radical Islam and authorities’ alleged reluctance to confront it.

Rabbi Meir Bar-Hen has been encouraging his congregants to leave Spain, which he called during an interview with JTA a “hub of Islamist terror for all of Europe,” for years before the attacks Thursday and Friday, he said. At least 13 victims and five suspected terrorists were killed in Barcelona and the resort town of Cambrils, 75 miles south of the city.

(Snip)

Part of the problem exposed by the attacks, Bar-Hen said, is the presence of a large Muslim community with “radical fringes.” Once these people are “living among you,” he said of terrorists and their supporters, “it’s very difficult to get rid of them. They only get stronger.” He also said this applied to Europe as a whole. “Europe is lost,” he said....

[[On Friday, Colau Ballano wrote on Facebook: “Barcelona is a city of peace. Terror will not make us stop being who we are: a brave city open to the world.” She urged readers to show up at a solidarity rally that day.]]

Yeah that will do it . That will just make the terrorist quake in their boots. After that they will just be to afraid to pull another stunt like ramming a car into a crowd ever again.

God had mercy , liberals are complete idiots. They may as well just put rainbows on their Facebook pages so they feel better. Liberals never confront evil but they sure will confront what is good for a community . They will work their tails to destroy any semblance of good and call it evil.

They learn nothing from their own history . The last the muslims invaded them it took them 780 years to get them out. They lived with Islamic terrorism for 780 years and they are stupid enough to invite known terrorist back in to do book tours because they are a brave city open to the world.

What do they put in their drinking water ? All of western Europe behaves like it’s drugged .

The Rabbi is right . The Jewish people need to get out of there because European leader coddle terrorist and value the terrorist feelings more than they do their own citizens lives.

Radical Islam is redundant. Until that simple point is understood, all is folly.

Good point. Are jews in Europe as liberals as (most) of them here?

Oh, our leaders know this. Jorge Busho, the great disappointment, actually had a twinkle in his eye when he assured us iSlime is a religion of peace. He said that knowing he’d always be protected from his own recklessness.

Where the heck are you going to GO? The invasion is everywhere at once. They’re in the perimeter, and they were invited. Complete insanity.

Iceland, maybe? Though last I remember, Iceland didn't take any immigrants. In comparison to their European cousins, wise policy.

Japan has also been careful about letting in people of radically different cultures, as I understand it. E.g. they don't allow mosques to be built. They want to preserve their own culture. (I don't hear any condemnation of this from the American Left –guess it's ok for a non-Western society like Japan to maintain their traditional culture.)

If they’d just tear down the statues celebrating victories over the Moops all would be well in Spain.

First time I’ve read or seen that. I searched for the author and found that there are no traces to said author.

Most results that come up are from left-wing sites bashing this article as right-wing, anti-communist, pro-Israel. (NOT surprising!)

The earliest date I can find that it was presented (blogs/emails, etc) is from 2004.

Regardless of it’s actual origin, isn’t it amazing how prescient - and TRUE - the article was/has become??

Thanks for posting.
