But hey, now, all of these remarks have surely been "taken out of context." That's what we're always told. "Arab Spring sees rise in anti-Semitism," by Gil Shefler for the Jerusalem Post, January 22:
There has been an increase in anti-Semitism in the Middle East in the wake of the Arab Spring, according to a report set for release on Sunday.
That is the finding of the study Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein is to submit to the government.
“[While] the popular uprisings in the Arab world do not represent a general change in attitude towards Israel, Zionism and the Jews it seems the anti-Semitic discourse and incitement have become more extreme and violent,” the report, which was written by scholars at the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University, says.
“Charges of an international Jewish conspiracy have been a central motif in the anti-Semitic propaganda that has accompanied the Arab Spring uprisings. This motif has been emphasized in each of the countries especially by way of pointing a blaming finger towards Israel, Zionism and Jews conspiring against Arabs and Muslims.”
The paper provides a lengthy list of anecdotal evidence. In Libya, it points at rebel claims that the mother of longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi was Jewish as a way of defaming the slain dictator. In Syria, it cites insults made by the embattled government of Bashar Assad calling opposition forces “an army of donkeys in the service of the Mossad.” And in Egypt it says Muslim scholars have issued edicts forbidding believers to sign agreements with “monkeys,” referring to Jews.

The study, however, does not contain numerical data. Eran Sidis, a spokesman for Edelstein, said figures supporting the thesis of the report will be released by the Kantor Center in April.
Edelstein said the report was a sad reminder that anti-Semitism is still alive and well in 2012....
For the West "moderate" Mufti of Jerusalem
quote the genocidial hadith Sahih to kill the Jews

“The Last Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them” Sahih Muslim Book 41, #6981 – 6985 ….
You're kidding me? I don't believe it. It's all the fault (as is everything on Earth) of The Evil Jooz...
Whatever happened to "Never Again"?
Has the construction of the death camps started yet?
Last one never ended. Unrepentant Nazis (many of whom went into hiding or exile), Muslim extremists, and old-fashioned anti-Semites of every stripe, shameless and conscienceless, continued killing Jews even after the liberation of the camps and the destruction of the Third Reich. Need I mention Kielce (Poland), 1946? Not familiar with it, IND? Google it. The Holocaust denial, as well as the slaughter and expulsion of the Jews not only in British Mandate Palestine/Israel but in all other Arab and Muslim-majority nation, was proceeding apace. Over time, the ostensibly 'humanitarian' Left, as well as mainstream Protestants and most 'liberal' Catholics, with that eternal and inimitable goyische urge to externalize/deny/project (in the Freudian psychoanalytic sense) all guilt and responsibility for the totally reprehensible, bought into the 'Palestinian' narrative of victimization by Israel and by the Jews at large, thus providing a rationale in all the most respected journals of opinion and news to blame Israel, and the 'Jewish lobby,' for all fault in the Middle East and by extension the world, and lay the groundwork for the resumption of the modus operandi as it existed in the Reich up to 1945. "Never Again," IND, in fact never happened. At most there were a few ritual and symbolic acknowledgments of the enormity of 1933-45 (such as Willy Brandt's famous genuflecting in grief during his visit to Israel as Chancellor of the FDR).
Marisol: This is truly a dog bites man story. Any Jew vaguely familiar with Jewish history, or with the history of the goyim vis a vis the Jews, is not at all surprised or shocked.
The Arab Spring has given new life to anti-Semitic triumphalism. The thinking is as the Middle East becomes more Sharia compliant a greatly pleased Allah will grant Moslems victory over Israel.
Well, watch what's left of the Jewish communities of Morocco and Tunisia pushed out. Now, for a straw poll: how many JW'ers predicted such a thing wowuld happen? Do I see a forest of hands going up?

Damn good question, IND. This is a phrase I used to hear quite frequently...not so much, of late....
