Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Robert Spencer, PJ Media: 6 Ugly Signs of Resurgent Worldwide Antisemitism

Aug 9, 2014 1:37 pm By Robert Spencer

In PJ Media I discuss one of the ugliest trends of today’s international scene:

Hamas’s Al-Aqsa TV channel in late July broadcast a Friday sermon in which an imam issued a chilling threat to Jews: “We will not leave a single one of you alive. Our doctrine in fighting you is that we will totally exterminate you. We will not leave a single one of you alive.” Such savagery may be expected from Hamas, but a similarly virulent antisemitism is becoming increasingly common all over the world.

6. Sweden: Muslim politician denounces “Jewish pigs”

Last week, the Swedish Social Democrat Omar Omeirat, a Muslim and a candidate for town council in Filipstad, wrote on his Facebook page:

The entire Muslim world is sitting and watching while our brothers and sisters in Palestine are slaughtered by the Jewish pigs.

When this came to light, Omeirat had to resign under pressure, at which point he was contrite: “I regret what I said. It was the wrong choice of words and no one should say something like that.” He didn’t explain, however, how a phrase derived from the Qur’an itself, which three times says that Allah transformed disobedient Jews into apes and pigs (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166), could possibly be a “wrong choice of words.”

5. Italy: Imam prays that Allah kill the Jews “one by one”

In a late July Friday sermon in Italy, the imam Abd Al-Barr Al-Rawdhi denounced the Jews, reminding his audience of several of the enormities ascribed to them in the Qur’an, and then prayer:

Oh Allah, bring upon them that which will make us happy. Oh Allah, count them one by one, and kill them to the very last one. Do not spare a single one of them. Turn their food to poison, make the air they breathe blazing hot, make their slumber full of grief, and make their days black. Oh Allah, plant fear in their hearts.

To the credit of Italian authorities, Al-Rawdhi was expelled from Italy after video of this sermon came to light.

4. Belgium: Doctor refuses to treat Jewish patient

Far from Gaza, in Belgium on July 30, the son of Bertha Klein, a 90-year-old Jewish woman, called a medical helpline for his mother, who had fractured a rib. Determining that the caller and his mother were Jewish, the doctor shouted: “I will not come! Send her to Gaza for a few hours, then she will not feel pain anymore.”

Michael Freilich, the editor of Belgium’s Jewish News, noted that this was not an isolated event:

This is yet another incident in succession in a short period of time. A shop in Antwerp refused a woman to serve because she was Jewish, a cafe in Liege has a sign hung with the message “Dogs are welcome, Jews are not,” and in Brussels slogans like “Death to the Jews” were chanted during a demonstration. And on Facebook, we see calls every day of hatred against the Jewish people.

3. Canada: Muslim protesters shout “Heil Hitler” at Jews

On July 31 in Calgary, Muslim protesters against Israel’s defensive action in Gaza berated Jewish counter-protesters and ultimately shouted “Heil Hitler” at them.

Canada believes in freedom of speech (sort of: it is crippled by “hate speech” laws, which are tools in the hands of the powerful to silence the powerless), so probably it is no crime to shout “Heil Hitler” there. On the other hand, don’t you think that if the Jews had shouted “Down with Muhammad” or some such, that the police would have stepped in and hauled them before the Human Rights Commission? So do I.

    The unfortunate truth is the cancer of anti-Semitism has never been completely cut out. I guess it never will be. The hatred of the Jews finds its roots in a hatred for God.

      I think you might be right. Re the root cause of Jew-hatred.

      And that is why antisemitism is so *crippling* and so downright spiritually *deadly* when it manifests within the Christian church….as it has done so often, alas and to our everlasting shame.

        We might as well tell the whole ugly truth then dumbledoresarmy .
        The Christian church is under attack from many directions.
        There are Muslims.
        There are Leftist liberals.
        At times sadly, there are even Jews.

        Many Christians support Israel which is sometimes dismaying when some of Obama’s fiercest allies undermining Evangelical Christians are liberal Jews.

        I am not sure why you would choose this article about an iman calling for Jews to be killed to sneak in an off-topic false equivalence to Christianity.

    It’s not that Allah isn’t listening to these calls for genocide by these faithful Muslim clerics, it is just that Allah has deceived these faithful Muslim clerics into
    believing that he is omnipotent and he can kill by himself and that Muslims are “special”. How’s Islam working for you, Ms Rezali?

    I think there are four main reasons for this ugly anti-Semitism.

    One, the fact that all the countries Robert mentions, and this is most clearly obvious in Europe, have large **mohammedan minorities.**

    As we all know, virulent Jew-hatred is central to islam. Given that fact, and the fact that Western governments have shown little or no desire to protect any other minority than mohammedans, indeed, coddle, kowtow, and constantly appease them, it is hardly surprising that many mohammedans feel so emboldened by our weakness, as to indulge their vile anti-Semitism with the mask off.

    Secondly, also as we all know, much of the msm is either consciously leftist, and therefore in bed with the mohammedans, or is so deeply entwined in PC/MC , it is incapable of any unbiased reporting, or indeed, of holding any view other than the hopelessly corrupted, non-thinking rubbish most of them have been in taught, in school and university. Also, the majority of reporters and opinion pundits today, are moral cowards, who have forgotten how to stand up for anything, if they ever knew, and would be too frightened to do so, anyway, as that might affect their jobs, and their social life.

    It is the msm, reporting what is happening in Gaza, that controls what is seen, and heard, and it is the msm that mainly affects opinion. In order to get a clear view of the issues involved, and what is actually happening, one needs to resort to the Internet.

    Thirdly, I honestly think the governments of the West are steeped in corruption, and greedy self-interest. The mohammedan ME has the petrodollars, and the mohammedans in the West constitute a very large potential % of the vote, given that mohammedans tend to vote en bloc. Israel is a tiny country, and Jews, world wide, are a very small minority. Consequently, and given the fact we have **no** leaders of stature and principle, in **power**, Israel and the Jews are expendable. Or, if not **quite** that, *yet*, certainly have nothing to offer that the political pigs with their snouts in the trough, are prepared to stand up for.

    Fourthly, alas and alack, it is not just mohammedans that are anti-Semitic. There is a sort of knee-jerk, casual anti-Semitism, that is endemic in the populations of most Western countries, that latches onto what I’ve said above, and uses it to rationalise and excuse Jew-hatred.

    I’m sure that commenters here will be able to think of other reasons, that I can’t think of, or articulate, at the moment. And perhaps will disagree with some, or all, of what I’ve suggested.

    I’d welcome any clarifications, disagreements, and/or additions.

    If I start ataking jews and Israel, all theses horrible leftists journalists, intelectuals, etc start to tell me i am an anti-semite…. But if muslims says absurdities against Israel and jewish people, kill the jews, etc, nobody says nothing…. Of course it is written in Quran that jews are pigs and apes, and they must be exterminate….
    Parties anti-semite are forbidden. Why we in the West support such stupid and criminal people like radical islamites?

    Scratch any anti Zionist and you will get an anti-Semite.
    For all their protestations, this is a fact.
    The liberal left are leading the charge against the Jews to live peacefully in their homeland which they set up more or less without any assistance when the rest of the world made it clear they were not safe in other’s lands.
    Any other nation on earth is allowed to set up it’s own rules, it’s own borders, it’s own way of dealing with people within it’s borders.
    Yet if the Jews dare do it, it is wrong.
    But it isn’t anti-Semitism, it is anti-Zionism.
    And, with a few glorious exceptions, all the left are refusing to condemn the behaviour of the Islamic world for real atrocities.
    “What about the children of Gaza!” They cry, if you stand up to them.
    “What about the children of the Yazidid?” I respond (the latest in a litany of children of those people fallen victim to Arab Imperialism) and the great majority still do have the decency to mumble something and walk away. Because faced with the facts they have no defence, and if shown full the one sided, two faced truth they can only run away.
    Or take the side of the oppressed?

    Although, to be fair the United States is also under attack by the left when it comes to being allowed to set it’s own borders and allow whomsoever it wants into it’s land. But when it comes to it these peaceniks are cowards and would not openly pick on someone who is big and strong enough to defend themselves.
