Increasing violence against Jews worldwide. Increasingly open calls for jihad and genocide. Islamic jihadis can see that Western authorities are weak, confused, compromised, or all of the above. And they are taking full advantage of the situation.
“German police arrest 18-year-old after attack on synagogue,” Reuters, July 29, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
BERLIN: German police arrested an 18-year-old man after petrol bombs were thrown at a synagogue in the western town of Wuppertal overnight, they said in a statement on Wednesday.
“According to investigations, three suspects threw several incendiary devices at the entrance,” police said. No one was hurt and it appears no damage was done to the synagogue, they said. A local resident had alerted them when she saw a fire close to the building.
Prosecutor Hans-Joachim Kiskel said the nationality of the arrested suspect was not clear but added that the man had told authorities he was Palestinian. The other two suspects fled.
The German government last week reassured Jews living in Germany that they should feel safe in the face of anti-Semitic chants and threats heard at some of the protests against Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza, and said such behaviour would not be tolerated.
German media have expressed shock at the tenor of anti-Israel chants at some of the demonstrations, in a country which is ultra-sensitive about anti-Semitism because of the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis.

This is the new anti-Semitism in Europe. Especially in Germany it’s not the few “Neo-Nazi” splinter groups whom the politicians love to present us as malefactors. It’s bare naked Islam to quote another blog. Islam is intrinsically anti-Semitic. “Jews are apes and pigs” says the unholy Koran and kill the infidels them wherever you find them. Most of the time the infidels are Jews.
Islam is a terrorist organisation.

I wonder how that “ultra-sensibility” to being called anti-semite will fare against being called “nazi” for passing judgment on muslims acting upon their jew-hating faith?

Here is the challenge.
It should be put to every born-post-war person in Europe who has professed to be inspired by the stories of those, from among their nations, who are now honoured in the Avenue of the Righteous in Yad Vashem.
“This time around, it is not the Nazis but the Mohammedan Mob who are coming to kill the Jews (and that Mob intends to kill or subjugate *you* and overthrow your societies); are *you* brave enough to stand with your Jewish neighbour, colleague, friend, teacher, classmate, fellow citizen; to stand in between him or her, and the mob that ululates in the street and howls “Itbach al Yahood! Slaughter the Jews!”?”
Furthermore: allow yourself to see the parallel between Czechoslovakia in 1938, and Israel, today; being pressured to surrender vital territory – whenever you hear Muslims yowling about “the West bank” (which is actually ancient Judaea and Samaria, the heartland of historic eretz Israel), you should think “Sudetenland” – to a merciless enemy that intends nothing less than Total World Domination.
And again, for those who listened to their parents’ or grandparents’ stories of the Resistance, in France and elsewhere…
*here* is your chance to live up to *that* example.
The Muslims are not “the new Jews”. Far from it; they are “the new Nazis”. Indeed, they are *worse* than the Nazis, and their ruinous passage across the earth is still going on, and has been going on for 14 centuries.
Rise and resist them.

What’s so new about Islamic genocidal violence against the Jews?
They have been practising it and trying to perfect it for the last
1400 years.
They, of course, busier with the Christians too, especially where they
practically ran out of Jews, such as in Iraq and Syria.
In Nigeria they could not even find Jews, so they are concentrating
on waging genocidal attacks of Christians.
