Europeans - you can't blame Israel for all this

[TheStinger]

White gangs attacking Jews has **** all to do with Israel.

Muslims attacking Jews is slightly different, it may be that the ME problems are a cause this DOES NOT EXCUSE THEM THOUGH.

it's hell hell i tell you!!!!!

Well, with enough anecdotes, half-truths, emotive language, selective use of statistics and generalisations, you can "prove" just about anything.

This article, and most of the others like it, is complete and utter nonsense. I don't really blame Americans for falling for the notion that Europe is turning into the fourth Reich. I mean, the coverage is constant, and if you repeat a lie often enough, people will start to believe it.

But we should take seriously the attacks that happens, even if they aren't record braking... I mean, there is not much attention brought to this anyway. I think as Europeans, we should really try working it out more strongly.

Ah, yes the clueless moneyopenny strikes again with his deadly alabama skillz

Alabama? Why would you think I was from that hole in the ground?

[Bereta_Eder]

I know you come from SOME hole, oh yeah right mississippi burning! i remember now

[Cruddy]

Ned, isn't Time kind of making an erroneous link here?

I mean, Israeli <> Jewish.

I agree that blaming native (ie European) Jews for Israeli practise is bogus... But who said racists were logical?

[Bereta_Eder]

Of course each and everyone of those incidents on that article are shameful and criminal.

[Bereta_Eder]

But there needs to be a differantiation.
You have the UK, the only country in Europe which has raciar riots...
You have France where they have incidents of muslims harrasing French of jewish religion.
You have Greece which is one of the most xenophobic propably due to the rapidest influx of immigrant waves ever in europe but which such cases are still fortunately a minority and the exception
You have Germany where grave incidents have ocured such as the burning down of immigrant shelter buildings and the deaths of people
You have Denmarkwith almost "intitutionalized" xenophobia
etc etc
It's not all the same there isn't "one" europe each country has problems of their own.

Dinodoc: If you actually went to the link, you'd notice that the article brings up violence against romani, homosexuals, muslim, arabs et al. That has hardly anything to do with Israel in any way.

I was refering to the way he excuses most of these from being hate crimes by blaming Israel. I typically don't follow links in troll threads. It confuses me with needless facts.

[Bereta_Eder]

if needlesss facts confuse you you should abandon your conclusion reaching process.

Sorry- what was the question? I missed it while fighting off the raging horde of barbarians sweeping down the cul-de-sac.
