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

Leftist “journalist” blames Islamic anti-Semitism on Netanyahu’s embrace of “ethno-nationalists”

Feb 27, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A writer for Haaretz who has been living in his own world condemns “right-wing” Israelis for a surge in Islamic anti-Semitism. Giorgio Gomel writes:

“Israel’s right-wing is seduced by European nationalists’ warmth toward the Jewish state, and their hostility toward Islam. But an illiberal Europe intolerant of minorities and pluralism is a disaster for Jews.”

Europe has not been intolerant of minorities. Many European countries have a history of peaceful immigration and integration of minorities. European countries were largely welcoming to the massive migrant flow from the Middle East and Africa, and that’s when the problem started. A study, commissioned by the American Jewish Committee’s Ramer Institute for German-Jewish Relations in Berlin, found that “anti-Semitism among Muslim refugees was rampant and requires urgent attention.”

Even Angela Merkel, who is known for her infamous statement “we can do this,” admitted the reality of Islamic anti-Semitism, saying during a TV interview: “We now have another phenomenon, as we have refugees or people of Arab origin who bring another form of anti-Semitism into the country.”

Ricard Abitbol, president of the Confederation of Jews in France and Friends of Israel, also stated:

“Every day we have people who are hurt, every day we have people who are insulted….We can be hurt by words, but we don’t mind, but when we are hurt by a knife, a gun, you can’t say I don’t mind….In a few decades, there will be no Jews in France.”

The most influential school of Sunni Islam, Al-Azhar University, was enraged by a French call to purge the Qur’an of anti-Semitism, and called the move “Islamophobia.” Another example of Islamic anti-Semitism: Saudi secondary school youths not only being taught hatred of Christians, Shia and Sufis, but also “that the day of resurrection will not come until Muslims kill Jews.”

Iran is also widely known for its anti-Semitism and genocidal aspiration to obliterate Israel. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas not only denies the Holocaust, but states that in a new Palestinian state, not a single Israeli will be allowed. Other Muslim countries are also saturated with anti-Semitism, so to blame Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his alleged embrace of so-called right-wing intolerance is flawed at best, foolish and dangerous.

There have been 1400 years of jihad against unbelievers, sparked by Islamic texts targeting Jews and other infidels. No other provocation is needed. Israel is targeted for obliteration for merely existing as a Jewish state.

The only solution in dealing with bullies is a zero-tolerance approach, as reflected by the countries in Eastern Europe that are resisting Islamization. When appeased, Islamic supremacists redouble their efforts.

“Netanyahu’s Embrace of Ethno-nationalists Endangers Jews in Europe,” by Giorgio Gomel, Haaretz, February 19, 2019:

This week the Israeli prime minister will hold bilateral meetings with the leaders of Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in place of the freshly-cancelled Visegrad summit.

These meetings, following the recent visits to Israel by Italian and Austrian ministers and prominent members of nationalist and conservative parties, prompts us, European Jews strongly committed to the defense of democracy, pluralism and minority rights, to take a strong stand against the Israeli government’s clear support for right-wing parties and movements in Europe and elsewhere.

For Israel, those parties’ friendly attitudes toward the Jewish state, and their hostility toward Islam, appear to be a seductive proposition. Even when, in those same right-wing parties, there are deeply entrenched anti-Semitic views.

Israel, of course, pursues its own geopolitical interests. And there is a clear Israeli interest in dividing and fracturing the EU common positions regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the EU relationship with Iran, from the nuclear deal to Iran’s hegemonic ambitions in the Middle East.

But beyond that, there is an evident ideological affinity between the Likud and parties in Europe which extol ethnic identities, the rejection of immigrants and intolerance of minorities…..

      Dapto, the Left-Globalists want to shuffle all the races through forced migrations without the consent of voters. They are anti-democratic. The globalists are totalitarians. Who will stop a new Stalin from taking over this one-world utopia? Nothing will stop him, because there is no constitution for such a mega-state/empire.

      Moreover, will Muslims willingly join the mega-state? No. They will fight it and start WWIII.

    The basis of Israel is ‘ethno-nationalism’, but that is the point of Israel, isn’t it? Why should ethno-nationalism be valid in Norway, Poland, Hungary and Lithuania or in England? What is wrong with the globalists?

    The Kalergi Plan involves destroying all nationalities. WHY IS DESTROYING CULTURES A GOOD THING?

    The Left wants to destroy the ‘ethno-nationalism’ of Israel and replace it with the FAKE ‘ethno-nationalism’ of the FAKESTINIANS who were invented in 1967 in Moscow. The day before, they had been JORDANIANS with a Jordanian nationality and passport and flag.

    The Left-Globalists are pushing an untried Utopia on the world and who’s to say it won’t be worse than what we have now?

    Besides, the United Nations have resolutions AGAINST THE CRIME OF GENOCIDE.

    This is EUROPEAN GENOCIDE through unassimilated invasion.

    I refuse to blame Netanyahu for the rise in anti-Semitism unless someone can prove he wrote the Koran.

      Was reply to Terry’s , “I refuse to blame Netanyahu for the rise in anti-Semitism unless someone can prove he wrote the Koran.” Leading emoticon seems to have broken the link.

    …………………

    Well, of course! It’s not as thought Muslims didn’t murderously hate Jews before Netanyahu said anything nice about the Visigrad countries…sarc/off

    I hope Netanyahu wins reelection. Israel–and the world–need him.
