| 'Guardian' slams rise in anti-Semitism as Europe anger over Gaza operation grows | |
| 2014-08-10 | |
| [JPOST] The Guardian, one of Britannia's most influential daily newspapers, used its editorial on Friday to warn of the dangers of European anti-Semitism that has been fueled in recent weeks by the tumult in Israel and Gazoo. Citing the numerous violent attacks against Jews, synagogues, and other institutions on the continent in recent years, the newspaper condemned "the conflation of Jews and Israel" while denouncing those who would exploit their anger over Israeli policies toward the Paleostinians by attacking Jews in the diaspora. "The controversy has gained extra heat because of the alarming increase in anti-Jewish racism," The Guardian wrote." As we reported [on Friday], during the course of a single July week, eight synagogues in La Belle France were attacked, one of them Molotov cocktailed by a 400-strong crowd, whose chants and banners included 'Death to Jews' and 'Slit Jews' throats'." "More chilling still, given that country's history, Molotov cocktails have been hurled at synagogues in Germany, where chants heard at pro-Paleostinian protests have included 'Jew, coward pig, come out and fight alone', and 'Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, Hamas, Jews to the gas'." The newspaper was prompted to tackle the subject after last week's controversy surrounding London's Tricycle Theatre, which refused to host the UK Jewish Film Festival unless organizers rejected funding from the Israeli embassy. The theater raised the demand in response to the Israeli military operations in the Gazoo Strip. "It should not need saying, but it does: people can be as angry as they like at the Israeli government, but to attack a synagogue, threaten children at a Jewish school, or throw a brick through the window of a Jewish grocery store is vile and contemptible racism," The Guardian wrote.

| #3 Agreed - along with the BBC, they have been fomenting Jew-hate for a long time. Now is a little bit late to feel guilty about it. My daughter and I scroll through the Daily Mail almost every day - it's one of our guilty pleasures, and you can of course skip over those stories of celebrity drama. They do cover stories from the States that our very own dear media won't touch with a ten-foot pole. Even so, down-market and to the right of the political spectrum, the anti-antisemitism on display in any stories to do with Israel is horrifying. |
