THE EUROPEAN SICKNESS..
Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 07:15PM
Assailants rammed a burning car into the gates of a synagogue in Toulouse, in southwest France, on Monday night. A Jewish congregation in Helsingborg, in southern Sweden, also was attacked Monday night by someone who "broke a window and threw in something that was burning," said police spokesman Leif Nilsson. Neighbors alerted rescue services before the fire took hold. Someone also started a blaze outside the premises last week. And on Sunday slogans including "murderers ... You broke the cease-fire" and "don't subject Palestine to ethnic cleansing" were daubed on Israel's embassy in Stockholm. In Denmark, a 27-year-old Dane born in Lebanon of Palestinian parents is alleged to have injured two young Israelis last week, opening fire with a handgun in a shooting that police suspect could be linked to the Gaza crisis. France has Western Europe's largest Jewish and Muslim communities and a history of anti-Semitic violence flaring when tensions in the Middle East are high. In 2002, some 2,300 Jews left France for Israel because they felt unsafe. You would have thought that after the Holocaust, Europe would feel a profound need to ensure that anti-semitism never reared its ugly head again. But then again, the large influx of Muslims over recent years has ensured that Jew-haters are back in plentiful supply.
AP reports that signs are mounting that the conflict in Gaza is starting to spill over into violence in Europe's towns and cities, with assaults against Jews and arson attacks on Jewish congregations in France, Sweden and Britain.

Jewish schools in London appear to have been put on alert. it all seems qiute orchestrated, as if they're responding to some official advice.
Why would they need to do that?
Well, since the Left has some issues with honesty I'll tell them - the Left spent decades smearing anyone as a racist who objected to unfettered immigration from any third world hellhole.
Now, we find we've let the savages in and they've brought their savage attitudes to our land. Jews found shelter here from central and eastern Europe for decades, now they are again under threat. Well done the Left.
In Great britain of all places Jews are under threat of muslim savages - what a monument to Left Wing wickedness. Well done you hateful, wicked scumbags.
>>Jews found shelter here from central and eastern Europe for decades, now they are again under threat. Well done the Left.<<
Well done, the Right, you mean. Your friends in Combat 1^8 and the National Front have made no secret of their hatred of Jews.

C18 and the National Front could have held their rallies in a chip shop with room to spare.
Left Wing orthodoxy has dominated government social and immigration policy since 1945.
The least the decent Left can do is admit to its mistakes and apologise.

Yet immigration rocketed under the Right's figurehead PM Thatcher.
BTW. I appreciate your concern about these disgusting crimes, Pete,
"Well done, the Right, you mean. Your friends in Combat 1^8 and the National Front have made no secret of their hatred of Jews"
Difference is, the 'Right' disowned them as the garbage they are decades ago. You however continue to apologise and desperately shill for your own darker-skinned Neo-Nazis. And if you are reduced to trying to conflate those in opposition to Muslim anti-semitism with Combat 18 and the NF then you really have gotten seriously desperate haven't you?

Yes, I said that left Wing orthodoxy has dominated British government policy since 1945. Well done for placing the Thatcher government in there.
As I've said in here repeatedly, Margaret Thatcher was a revolutionary and no conservative.
It's reactionaries like me who were derided by commies like you because we protested immigration by alien cultures. Now, because your arguments prevailed in government, Jews are threatened in my country.
Well done, jolly good show.
it is the blind eye to anti-semitism and coddling of the Islamic terrorist over the last 30 years that cause the regimes in the ME to get away with daily attacks and eventually the annihilation of Israel
I predict that within 5 years Jews will feel that they can no longer live free of the fear of attack in many parts of the UK.
There are already areas of London that I am scared to walk through and I don't even "look that Jewish".
When people say, after an Islamic terrorist atrocity, that they fear a backlash against peaceful Muslims living in the West I agree that no connection should be made just because of shared religion. However could someone please explain this concept to the Islamic nutters who attack Jews as reprisals for Israel's actions.
The Jewish Community Support Trust advise that: "Antisemitic incidents throughout Britain are likely to rise as tensions increase relative to the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Volatile anti-Israel demonstrations have taken place or are due to take place in many British towns and cities, increasing the potential for incidents to occur. CST have noted an escalation in Antisemitic incidents, information gathering and suspicious activity following previous Middle East conflicts.
Jewish institutions and all visitors to communal buildings are therefore urged to remain vigilant; and to ensure that security measures are followed."
It is odd how the Muslim community cry out that "not all Muslims are terrorists" but seem happy to let their community associate all Jews with the actions of Israel.
