Reflections on the New Anti-Semitism
The Hebrew Scripture is replete with passages of unforgettable beauty, and many of the most beautiful are to be found in the Book of Psalms. Psalm 119, the longest in the book, is studded with such pearls, in particular verses 103-05, which read (in the King James translation):
How sweet are thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
These words resonate ironically today, when the words one hears and reads everywhere around us about Jews, about Zionists, and about the state of Israel are not “sweet” but sharp and bitter. The “precepts” we receive in the various media, print and electronic, do not promote “understanding” but seem instead to justify “every false way.” The biblical “lamp” seems to have been extinguished and the “path” is shrouded in darkness.
The most recent case in point comes from the left-leaning Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet, which reported in a double-truck spread on August 18, 2009, that Israeli soldiers regularly abduct Palestinians to harvest their innards for the international organ trade. (This is the same daily that, on Easter 2003, referred to “the crucifixion of Arafat.”) The source for this ludicrous fable consists of a number of Palestinians whose depositions are accepted as gospel. How Swede are their words! The story now comes full circle back to its Palestinian source to be confirmed by the Palestinian news agency Ma’an (which is, incidentally, financed by Denmark and Holland). The feature cites a certain “expert” whose evidence for the claim consists of a rather peculiar factoid, namely, that Israel returns the bodies of Hezbollah fighters minus their organs! The obvious question remains unasked: why would Israel send back these scavenged bodies if it wished to avoid detection and avert a scandal? The absurdity is palpable, but logic and common sense are clearly beyond the cognitive abilities of anti-Semites. And then, as we know, there is the inconvenient medical fact that the organs of people who do not expire under clinical conditions, when organs can be removed immediately, are not viable for transplant.
Anyone who is even remotely familiar with the Palestinian propaganda machine and the robust anti-Semitism of the Swedish media and officialdom (not to mention Norway, Spain, the UK, and several other European countries) might consult another verse from Psalm 119: “The wicked have laid a snare for me.” And indeed they have. The most popular Dutch newspaper, De Telegraaf, cleared the way for its Swedish counterpart to launch its newest calumny, publishing an article on August 8, 2009, accusing Jews of creating swine flu as part of a pharmaceutical conspiracy to profit from the sale of antidotes.
The despicable lies perpetrated by Aftonbladet and De Telegraaf are only the latest in what seems like an endless chain of defamatory utterances and slanderous fictions about the Jewish people and the Jewish state. We recall the notorious Mohammed al-Durah hoax, in which the Palestinian 12-year-old was ostensibly shot by the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) at the Netzarim junction in Gaza on September 30, 2000, propagated by the France TV 2 network and picked up by every major news outlet on the planet. We now know that the episode was rehearsed, directed, and staged with the collusion of Palestinian stringers and cameramen. It constitutes perhaps the most conspicuous contemporary chapter in the never-ending and constantly mutating hate-campaign against the Jewish people.
Then we had the so-called Jenin massacre, which turned out to be anything but, except for the 22 young Israeli soldiers who died trying to avoid civilian casualties when an American-style air strike would have done the job of scrubbing out the terrorist nest. Next, the blame for the 2006 Lebanon war was laid at Israel’s doorstep although the conflict was triggered by the Hezbollah incursion into Israeli territory, resulting in the kidnapping and killing of several Israeli soldiers. Britain’s Independent went so far as to accuse Israel of using uranium-tipped weapons, a claim so manifestly outrageous it defies both reason and belief — and should rightly have defied publication.
Anti Zionism is anti semitism or as I prefer to call it more bluntly “anti jew”. Anti Jew is practised today by Islam ( it is part of their Koranic obligation to kill or convert to Islam all Jews to bring about a 2nd coming). It is also practised by the extreme right, who are made up of mostly fringe crazies (the leaders) and young and intellectually challenged thugs and hooligans. What is most concerning is the anti jew espoused by the liberal left for the liberal left are made up of our intellectuals, our artists, politicians of the left and the mainstream media.
ANTI JEW has become a central plank in the ideology of the liberal left. If the educated left (including those with Jewish names) can support blind hatred for everything Jewish and support every effort to destroy Israel which means every effort to destroy the jEWISH PEOPLE, then I fear that they will have little problem in helping usher in a new order of Liberal Facism. Trouble is who will be the target after the Jews have been dealt with????? Who will be after the Jews, I think Stalinism showed that everyone is game.
Antisemites worldwide think its a good time just now to crawl out from under their stones and show just how disgusting they are. After all one of their own is in the White House the Mohammedan BOGUS POTUS Barrack (its OK to call me HUSSEIN now I won) Obama. The Obamantion has green lighted and ignited Black RACISM and antisemitism could he really be the Anti Christ Mmmmmmm.
Considering that a recent Israeli/US organ selling ring run by rabbis was recently busted, I’d say there’s some fire to that smoke.
It is with pride and wonder that I note, mostly to and for myself, that the heart and soul of the “conservative” blogs I now frequent are so filled with care for and understanding of our fellow human beings. That the left, which espouses so vociferously to champion the under-appreciated, has for well-known reasons abandoned the Jews, who are arguably the most wronged of all modern peoples, speaks volumes of their moral corruption. That said, as a Caucasian mutt of unfathomable ancestry who is “not religiously observant” yet inclined to issues of moral character, I found myself recently in a conversation with my wife, who happens to be Jewish, discussing to where we might have to move if the country went to hell in a hybrid car. For we, she and I, define ourselves as libertarians, a group almost as universally vilified as the Jews. Without a country that represents our best interests, nor (if America loses her way) much willing to suffer our kind gladly, we may find ourselves in as much of a diaspora as the historical Jews. And as much as we applaud the Jews for having successfully made for themselves a country, what the world really needs is an America that yet represents the welcome aggregation of freedom loving interests of various and sundry sorts, where all share access to the engine of capitalism that blindly helps us all raise ourselves out of the mire of collectivism. I fear for that shining beacon of freedom every bit as much as I fear for Israel and the Jews. These are trying times my friends.
The Jewish Problem
The Jewish problem is actually two problems
A misnomer sure, Jews are only too solemn
The first problem is the problem is the Jew
And that causes some sick people to stew
The second is Jews are too good at the things they do
Bombs work, but it’s not a good idea to fight the Jew
If only Jews were weaker, Anti-Semites are weak kneed
and cowardly by nature, Semites go down swinging indeed
Within the genetic nature, of all types of Jew haters
they cower and cringe, maybe they are better debaters
Jews say, Leave us alone, you may live and die in peace
Attack Israel and we will eradicate you, like a disease
It’s a simple formula and one I must admire
For Jew haters, it blunts their evil desire
They seethe in hatred, but why jump in the fire
Curse the evil Jew and choke on your sick desire, you friggin cowards
My Swedish friends, when drunk, would admit to their old saying:
“Scratch a Swede, find a Nazi”.
As an American living and working in Europe for a full ten years I can certify anti-jewish sentiment lies just under the surface throughout Europe (including of course U.K.).
An American can smell it. Eurotrash are immunized to it by millennia of exposure. Ignore their prostestations. They really can’t smell nor see it.
I’m disturbed by the number of people who seem to believe this blood libel, call for Israel to ‘prove its innocence’ or be investigated. Of course, these same people who automatically assume such a bizarre and improbable accusation to be true are the same ones screaming they aren’t anti-Semites, they are just criticizing Israeli policy.
Dave.. those rabbis paid living Israelis for organs; they weren’t taken from dead Palestinians. Yes, it was absolutely shameful to take advantage of poor Israelis in need of money like this and then sell the organs for 16 times what you paid… but that isn’t what the Swedish article accuses Israel of.
No one has EVER presented any evidence that the IDF kills to harvest organs. Of course, the idea is ridiculous. How do you shoot someone in the chest on a battle field and get him to a medical center in time to harvest any organs that survived the gunfire? Especially given the fact that bullets often ricochet within the body shredding organs. It simply isn’t medically feasible. The family of the boy described in the article says they have no evidence it happened but now that they ‘ve read about it they believe that it could have. Even the author admits he has no idea if his accusations are true. Sheesh.
Meet the new anti-semetism—same as the old anti-semetism.
Correct me if I’m wrong, because I’m not sure, but didn’t Sweden provide or attempt to provide safe-haven for Jews during WW2?
#9 is right, it’s the same old Jew hatred. What’s “new” is that instead of Christians leading the anti-Semitic movements it is now the Muslims with the cooperation of the secular leftist politically correct(former Christian) Europeans. Eurabia is a lost cause and will be all Muslim in another generation or two.
Only the USA and Israel stand as bulwarks of freedom and free markets in the world. The other “new” aspect to today’s Jew hatred is that for the first time in modern history the Jews and their State of Israel are armed and dangerous to the Jew haters. Anti-Semites just can’t tolerate Jews who are armed, strong and not willing to march to the gas chambers on cue.
Books to read include David Horowitz’s “Unholy Alliance” and George Gilders “The Israel Test.” The former explains why the left has aligned itself with the jihadists and the latter tells why Israel and the USA will ultimately triumph in the ideological and economic war that we are currently engaged in.
Like other posters stated here, there is some good news in this. Today, there is a new breed of Jews – the Israelis, and these people are tough, they are armed to the teeth and they will destroy or at least inflict horrible wounds on anyone who attacks them. In my opinion there is no way that Israel could be annihilated without most of the ME and Europe going down with her (which in fact means the end of the world as we know it).
These facts are probably the cause of increase in anti-Semitism or anti-Zionism as the more politically correct ones call it. The “new” anti-Semites can’t stand the fact that the Jews can defend themselves and have the audacity to do so from time to time. It is a fact that anti-Semitism becomes more visible any time the Israelis dare do something about the relentless attacks by its neighbors.
The problem is, that Israel is losing the propaganda war and so we (private people) have to come to her aid if we don’t want to be on the side that one day will say: “there is nothing I could do”: or “I just followed orders”.
I’m not a huge fan of President Bush Jr. but he had one thing right – there is good and there is evil in this world. The US and Israel have been on the side of good on a consistent basis. The fascists from the left are trying to rewrite history and tell us that the US and Israel are the actual bullies and that we are the reason there is no peace on earth.
It is up to us, the people, to stand up and defend what’s right.
Referring to European newspapers “accusing” rather than “quoting others who accuse” is surely a typo. It is hard to imagine a site with as tremendous a reputation as this one enjoys could possibly have meant the former.
Lisa,
we don’t really know where the New Jersey rabbi illegal organ selling ring got the organs from.
And it’s general bad form for a rabbi to use “The Merchant of Venice” as the basis for a business plan.
Reading this article and the comments, the solution seems simple to me – at least for you Jews living outside of Israel.
COME HOME! MOVE TO JUDEA AND SAMARIA. LEARN HOW TO USE A WEAPON AND BUY IT!
That way, you can stop whining about the goyim and face instead the traitorous Jews here who would sell you out to the Arabs.
From the looks of things, time may be a-wasting…
I suspect strongly that the origin of this story (deliberately stoked by the world’s Jew-haters) stems from the fact that, like most civilized countries, Israel requires an autopsy for deaths under violent or suspicious circumstances- this of course requires removal of internal organs for weighing, examination etc etc. Muslim countries however generally don’t do autopsies for religious reasons, and a Muslim family receiving a corpse with a standard Y-shaped incision and the organs bagged in the abdominal cavity might well fly off the handle.
———–
Dave: we know damn well those NJ rabbis didn’t get organs from corpses.
To Dave:
What are you implying here?
If a Catholic priest is abusing children it does not mean that every Catholic person is a pedophile. If a rabbi is a thief or he is running an illegal organ trafficking scheme, it does not mean that all Jews are doing the same or that the IDF is killing Arabs in order to harvest their organs. Moreover, it is impossible to do that as Lisa mentioned in her post, you can’t use the organs of people who are already dead.
The blood libel is what it is; a blood libel and you are trying to stretch the truth and make something that is not plausible, plausible.
If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one per cent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of, has always been heard of.
He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers.
He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished.
The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?
Mark Twain
Apparently Mark Twain knew nothing of Asia. Still the Jews are among the most resilient and highly developed races on the planet.
@15. Ruvy:
You said:
…”the traitorous Jews here who would sell you out to the Arabs.”
This is the first time in this forum that a Jew has the moral fortitude and spine to name and to distance himself from the ubiquitous Obama’s Kapo Jews who are the product of the Yevsektsiya*** and are the chief supporters of Hussein O. (***Russian Bolsheviks)
Usually any allusion to the Jewish role in promotion of Marxism considered as Antisemitism even though Communist Jews are in the fore for the destruction of Israel.
Marx in his works “On the Jewish Question” clearly delineated it;- one can read that on the net as an mind-stretcher tool.
It’s time for us to see the great differences between Israeli Jews – 4% Obamistas – and the Bolshevik Diaspora, 80% Obamistas.
The answer to Mark Twains query is in the Bible.
The jewish people ARE his chosen people…..maybe they are being chastised occaisionally for past sins but nothing in the NEW testament says God changed his mind and Islam is the chosen few now.
Islam will, every last believer in muhammed and allah, will burn in hell.
For a little more “Jew-hatred”, with some of the following fascinating “Islamic facts”:
“The Palestinian Authority’s chief Islamic judge issued an official ruling on Wednesday saying that essentially everything in the Bible is wrong. The Jews didn’t settle Jerusalem. David didn’t buy the land upon which the Temple was constructed from Ornan three thousand years ago.
David didn’t found Jerusalem. Jerusalem wasn’t sacked by Nebuchadnezzar. The Jews weren’t taken captive for seventy years. King Artaxerxes did not issue an order to restore the city and the Temple.
In fact, according to Sheikh Tayseer Rajab Tamimi, “Jerusalem is an Arab and Islamic city and it always has been so.”
Of course, for that to be true, more than half of Jerusalem’s history would have to be erased, since Islam is less than fifteen hundred years old.
When asked of the signs of His coming, the very first thing the Lord said in reply was, “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Deception is one of the hallmarks of the last days — it is the single most important factor in the coming of the antichrist. Everything about him is rooted in deception.”
For the full (fascinating) article, go to for yesterday, August 28th.
Sorry. The link didn’t print;
I think the biggest problem for the Israelis are “THE AMERICAN PROGRESSIVE JEWS!” What`s up with that?
The editors of the Aftonbladet can rot in hell.
The Jewish people are still under covenant. To the degree the Jews keep their covenant with their Creator, no power on earth or in heaven or hell will be able to overpower Zion.
Harah for Israel!
(But, remember to keep the covenant Israel. Do NOT get prideful!)
The answer to #10 is yes, the numbers uncertain, perhaps in the ten thousand area. They also sold iron ore to Germany, as they had been doing for some time, being like other nearby states, living in an uncertain and terrifying situation.
National identities are not set in stone. Things change. I’m glad my grandfather got out of Sweden, I wouldn’t want to be there now.
By the way, scratch a Swede today, you might find a muslim.
As a Jew, I’m appalled at how easily the majority of Jews in the US forget their history. However, I take solice in the fact the many of us belong to orginizations like the JPFO (Jew for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership), we are armed, ready to defend ourselves, and very aware of the anti-semitism of this administration.
JRD,
take a look at Kosher PR’s page, a list of links that reads as a who’s who of extreme lunatic fringe leftwingers.
Chomsky?
does anyone anymore link to Chomsky and expect others not to laugh at them?
I can’t understand it either, I grew up in a small Ohio town, never met anyone who I knew to be a Jew till I enlisted, and met a kid from New York. Maybe I’m blind or tone deaf, but I never knew what folks meant when they would write, or say, he looks Jewish, or sounds that way, or whatever. To me, everybody pretty much looks the same.
So I have no clue why anyone who so defensively claims to be a member of a group, then spends their life sucking up to folks that want to destroy that same group of people.
It’s insane.
Kosher links to all kinds of leftwing Jewish groups, then defends the article spreading the blood libel as if it were a serious question. Well hey Kosher, if enough people claim that New Yorkers are really three headed lizard people in disguise,.. would you then look at an article bringing that absurd claim to the public arena as if it had merit, and go…
mmmmmm, you know they might have a point….
I’m sorry, but it’s an anti-semitic article, it spreads a falshood, and furthers the hate. That he won’t see it, tells me more about his blinkered leftism, than anything about the stgory.
There is something about armed Jews defending themselves against genocide that makes many people nervous, even drives them to hysteria, and I can ony wonder why.
Being a person from the South- I worry for my friends, a religion & a people. I’m not Jewish but have many Jewish friends. I’m always quick to point out, to those that think otherwise, that the Romans crucified Christ. I say that not to win favor but to let you know that stereotypes are not always accurate.
I understand the score for Jewish people the world over – anti-semitism is on the rise, again. I fear that in the US we are about to see more of the same. Jewish people are resilient there is no doubt, I admire them.
I will say that the liberal-left is a problem. There are many forces trying to exert their social power. We are in for a some kind of showdown. I agree that some of the extreme right are a problem as well. The extreme-right does consist of folks that are unfamiliar & need to experience or be taught about Jewish people.
How do you reconcile the views of secular vs. religious Jews. Many of my friends are reformed Jews, but many don’t practice, atleast not often. No different from Christians. I live near Orthodox Jews (Chabad & another temple). I guess my question is what can be done to unite Jewish people despite the subtle & overt differences in lifestyle? It seems there are so many different points of view regarding lifestyle.
It is important that Jewish people continue to fight the good fight and win. I think you will have some help with that fight. And to answer someone’s question about who is next? Well, it would be people like me…after all, being persecuted for your faith is really to be expected, isn’t it. Unless of course, you’re Muslim.
While it’s obvious that antisemitism is rampant in the world today, the writer of this post loses credibility when he throws in Mel Gibson’s ‘Passion of the Christ’ as an example of antisemitism, which is paranoid and ridiculous…..True followers of Christ have never ever been guilty of antisemitism whereas the first persecutors of Christianity were Jews….Look it up.
David solway.. Remember the name..he will be shown to be another leftist hack.. mark my words!…David Solway..remember, remember, remember. I can pick out these a-holes like picking out nits. Watch and fo;;ow this leftie.
Hacks like this idiot just cloud the water, the true fighters for truth don’t divide and spread antagonisms, the true fighters for truth know that mohammedanism must be destroyed regardless of our differences.
Explain exactly how the movie ‘The passion of the Christ’ is antisemitic ????
the reality is that jewish groups like the adl and splc and aipac have, for fifty years, used the holocaust for their own benefit, and europeans, worldwide, are sick and tired of it. the change in western demographics, the rise of muslim immigrant communities and multi-culturalism, all were created by those who sought to exploit the memory of the holocaust, as though if you don’t believe in multi-cultish ideology, you’re suddenly a racist nazi….well i’m no nazi, but certain jewish people and lobby groups have gone too far as of late, and europeans are beginning to take revenge for all these groups have done to the west. the anti-deformation league sucks!
THe times are repeating and any avid researcher of History, will know this. We have seen it before. Germany with the Nazis, then Italy with Mussolini, and lets not forget Russia with stalin and lenin. As a Christian and a devout supporter of Israel, I have the responsibility to G-d to protect the children of Israel. It is a heavy responsibility but one with much reward. We have seen the Jews through history and the one thing that always occurs, the Jews survive. And because of the Jews, Christians have Jesus who was a Jew and so we are connected.
Don’t accident victims give thier organs for transplant? Or is it only accident victims who die at the hospital?
As a member of the USN we shot DU (Depleated Uranium) in the CIWS system for anti- missile or aircraft. I have heard that it was also used for anti-tank weapons (but I have no first hand knowledge of anti-tank weapons). Using DU in weapons is not unheard of. I do not know that Israel has or has not used DU though.
Please don’t get me wrong there is a lot of anti semitism out there. I don’t believe that Israel is harvesting organs or that they indiscrimately use force. In fact because of the scrutiny Israel is under I believe their military is probably the best in the world at reducing civilian casualties.
Forgive me presuming to correct a minor point, but I feel bound to do so. I believe that in the specific context of the Israeli losses in the Jenin refugee camp, the phrase “young Israeli soldiers” is misleading.
At the beginning of operation Defensive Shield, a general mobilization was declared. I believe that those soldiers who were killed in the Jenin refugee camp were mostly older reservists (aged 30 or so), men with wives and families.
There was some debate afterwards as to whether reservists, who had not been in combat for many years, should have been sent into the camp, as opposed to soldiers on active duty.
10. Don Clayton: “Correct me if I’m wrong, because I’m not sure, but didn’t Sweden provide or attempt to provide safe-haven for Jews during WW2?”
No. Hermann Goering married the Swedish princess Katrina from whence comes “Katrinaholm’.
Sweden further provided their rail system to transport Nazi troops across Sweden to attack and conquer Finland. It’s a Swedish shame called the “Englebrechtståg” that they struggle to make you forget.
Euro socialists are quite experienced at wiping out the past and brainwashing the public — cit.: the gang at the Chancellery in the Third Reich (think White House).
The problem I have with the American jewish people is their support for just about all Left Wing Democrats and causes. Conservatives have always supported the American Jews and Israel. When I see a Jewish Senator or Represenative fighing for Socialism and all left wing causes I wonder what they are thinking. The first people communist would come after would be them. There is many Jewish conservatives I admire, even more than a regular conservative. Their passion and intelligence when they are on the correct side of an argument is impressionable. Jewish people please join the group that advocates individule liberty and freedom.
Anti-Semitism.
Anti-Semitism.
Gee, I wonder what the word is for people that dislike white people?
Oh, we don’t get a word like that! We don’t get a SHUT-UP word!
Wake-up America!
The conventional-wisdom on “racism” has become so ANTI-WHITE is ridiculous!
Last century’s media companies, along with our new BIG GOVERNMENT, have decided that pretending that whites are somehow, “keeping non-whites down” is an acceptable theory, and that our only salvation lies in “Diversity.” (which means all white neighborhoods, cities, counties, states and nations should be diluted with non-whites!) No “Diversity” required for black or brown, or yellow or olive communities though, just white ones….!
A civil war is brewing in America.
When our own government tells us that people with black or brown skin are MORE IMPORTANT, AND VALUABLE than us, America’s Founding Stock, it’s time to re-consider the role of government…..! After all, if I said America would be a better place with fewer blacks, I’d get called all sorts of names.
But if I were to say that America would be a better place with fewer whites, I’d get a job as a teacher, or a politician!
The time has come to treat the gummint like the enemy they have become…!
Liberalism and anti-Semitism have been synonymous since modern liberalism went off the rails fifty years ago. It has been said that anti-Semites always turn out to be anti-human, and nowhere is that more obvious than in modern Europe or, now, in our own government and with our imbecile elites.
But to me the most disturbing aspect of liberalism/anti-Semitism, especially here at home, is that the wide majority of the whites in Obama’s war against America are Jews. Like all ideologues they put their ideology ahead of their religion or of anything else. Considering the current climate, I fear that American Jews are inviting upon themselves the kind of irrational violence and hatred that has infested the whole western world. It is ironic that much of the intellectual opposition to Obama’s destruction of America is also led by Jews, and I guess this is one more proof that they are indeed the Chosen People.
But I caution my relatives and friends: Beware.
I agree with the general premise of the article, but take issue with characterizing Mel Gibson’s POTC movie as anti-semitic.
Imperfect Mel put himself in the movie as one of the men nailing Christ to the cross. That means something.
The author of the article must not understand some of the most basic tenets of Christian theology with concern to our relationship to the Jewish people.
As a Christian, I love and support the Jewish people and I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. My support is not conditioned by the words of people like Mr. Solway.
However, it would do the author much good to recognize that American Christians are likely some of his best friends and to call their scripture or faithfully produced film versions of it “anti-semitic” may be counter-productive.
To #36 Alex,
To suggest that Jews are “using the holocaust to their benefit” is preposterous. The Jews of the holocaust have sworn that this will happen – Never Again. Jews today have a duty to keep this torch burning for ever and remind the rest of the world of the atrocities that occurred less than 70 years ago.
The fact is that many Europeans today refuse to take responsibility and help keep the torch burning (for the sake of humanity, not only the Jews).
The Europeans will always carry the responsibility for what happened even if there is no blood on their hands but the problem is that they don’t want to feel responsible so instead they turn against the Jews and try to make them look like the people who persecuted them.
Jews in general are not looking for a free pass, they make on their own. The Jews are not asking for a special treatment but they do want for once to be left alone. Is that too much to ask for?
Pelaut, the Danes managed to save all Danish Jews and perhaps a few more during the war by smuggling them, mostly by fishing boats to Sweden. Those saved lived out the war in the Sweden.
I have no argument with your scratching assertion (in general) nor many of the other things you wrote, but the man was correct, Sweden did provide or attempt to provide safe-haven for [Danish] Jews during WW2.
At Nürnberg, the Book on the German Fascism came to a close.
Victims of Nazism found consolation to the soul by the verdicts that pronounced the murderers and their accomplices guilty and meted out the punishment. The deathly ideology of Fascism was entombed for good.
Many of us, – myself included – who were victim of the Marxist-Socialist-Communist regimes we must behold with gnashing teeth that our erstwhile tormentors became our new overlords, the purveyors of their pernicious ideology is deeply revered in this society: Axelrod, Alinsky, Chomsky, Emanuel-Mengele, Soros, ACLU, the leftist media…all run by the those whom BiBi Netanyahu of Israel called as the “Self-loathing Jews, the KAPOS of Obama.”
As long as there are living victims of the Bolshevik concentration camps who are still remembering their ID# – mine was EA2140 – the flaming hatred against these individuals cannot be extinguished.
The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf did NOT accuse Jews of creating swine flu. It published an article to EXPOSE an anti-vaccination activist as a nutcase and antisemitic extremist: http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/4567573/__ONTMASKERD___.html.
Leader smear campaign against flu vaccination shown to be disciple of sinister conspiracy theories.
Anti vaccination extremist exposed
It was the anti-vaccination activist who accused the Jews of creating swine flu.
Mark D E,
Maybe you missed the Pajamas Media guidelines above? Number three is Disagree, but avoid ad hominem attacks.” I stayed on topic. For some reason you must think the rules don’t apply to you?
KPR
You can’t possibly compare the Dutch newspaper “De Telegraaf” (rightwing)with the very leftist Swedish “Aftonbladet”!!!!
I thinks that is a very big blunder!!!!!
