“Swiss authorities refuse to provide for the security of Swiss Jewish institutions or to carry the cost thereof. This occurs despite the fact that it is the elementary duty of the state to defend its citizens and inhabitants and to guarantee their basic safety. In Switzerland this obligation is explicitly stated in its 1848/1866 constitution which was last rewritten in April 1999.
“Switzerland has also signed and ratified the Convention of the Council of Europe on the Protection of National Minorities. That means that it recognizes the Jewish community as a national minority by law. The Swiss authorities are therefore legally obliged to create safe conditions which enable Swiss Jews to thrive, to exercise their religion and preserve their traditions.”
“The Swiss authorities have seemingly committed themselves to take all necessary measures against anti-Semitic threats or attacks and to protect the Jewish minority. Yet the Swiss federal government has always tried to shift responsibility to the cantons and vice versa. The cantons as formally quasi-independent states try to keep as much of their sovereignty as possible and usually oppose federal intervention.
“This shifting of responsibilities between the central state and the cantons is a central issue of Swiss politics affecting many subjects from education, to taxes, the penal law and even foreign policy. Usually a decision is eventually made on the subjects concerned. This is not so with the issue of Jewish security where the Federal state and the cantons both seem to refuse responsibility.

You are Jews, but they see you in Switzerland as Joooos! Don't waste your time trying to convince them. They see this way because they want to, despite the fact that it is nonsense. Their Constitution be damned. It, like their cheese, is full of holes, and they do not respect their obligations under it, when it comes to Jooos! like us.
Forget them and come on home. Just head for the nearest airport, and get on a plane and come. The Mandate is over. The White Paper is no more. Pogroms no longer occur here, because we are allowed to have guns, and sometimes even use them. Don't wait any longer. Leave while it's still this easy to do so. Time to come home.
Sincerely,
Israel
A Swiss movie titled “The Boat is Full” gives a peek into what went on during World War II with respect to Switzerland and the Jews. It opens with a Swiss steam locomotive fireman throwing a screaming Jewish refugee into the firebox to keep the locomotive moving.
Probably why Hitler didn’t feel the need to invade Switzerland.
The cost of invading Switzerland would have been too high and taken up too much time.
That too.
The West Bank can take them in. They already built their wall.
this article is seriously wacked - no idea what is the purpose of the distortion and misinformation. The Swiss take their federal system with deep respect. The central gov’t barely exists in the modern sense.
baffling why someone would spew so much hate
Ah, if only we had been so lucky!
um . . . a typical leftist anti-Semitic rant, perhaps?
and as a leftists prefer a strong central government, this piece makes perfect sense.
two birds one mindless attack.

The Swiss all have guns. Arm yourself. Swiss don’t take kindly to pacifists. While as a country they don’t involve themselves in war, they are Mercenaries from way back. If you want them to protect you, do what the Pope does and pay them. For thousands of years they have been in the protection business. You would not ask the Rothschild’s for a no interest loan. Don’t ask the Swiss for free security.
The “old” ways die hard
I don’t live in Switzerland, and have no intention of ever visiting there. Perhaps Swiss Jews, like the rest of the Swiss, are already armed. The bottom line is, their constitution says they should enjoy the protections of a threatened minority, and according to the article, nobody is willing to do that at either the federal or canton levels. Perhaps the problem is that they are being threatened by another protected minority, Muslims. I’d hate to have my suspicion verified, but would welcome any input by an actual Swiss freeper, Jew or gentile, confirming or denying.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
