Wow, who could have guessed that a thread about antisemitism in Europe would turn into an argument over Israeli actions?

Only the Jewish ones, Az. You should know that by now.Well, I guess you hate the french as well.....I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator RubioComment

It's familiar piece of propaganda put out by right-wing Americans (and to a lesser extent, by Israelis). As propaganda goes, it's good, but not great.
The juxtaposition of Europe's 'old' anti-semitism with the influx of presumably antisemitic Muslims doesn't really hold water. And the statistics used to prop up the claims are usually very weak.Comment

A majority of Jews live in the US now. Very few live in Europe. I can only assume that many European countries have been relatively unwelcoming to Jews up to this point.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

'Scuse me, I think the Arab-Israeli conflict is so deep-rooted and complex that we'll never figure it out entirely, that we should judge the current actions of individuals and not the broad historical contexts used to justify them, and that there is probably no easy solution to it. Oh, and neither one is entirely blameless, and as far as anyone can tell some portion of the Western world is at fault too for using both peoples as tools in colonial games. Am I an antisemite, or not?Comment

This is too reasoned an opinion. I demand that you choose a side and fight so viciously that you are indistinguishable from a racist! APATHY IS DEATH!Originally posted by Elok

Well, you do hear these reports from time to time of Jewish Cemeteries getting vandalized. And then you have the occasional sucsess of people like Haider."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer
