| What the EU Survey Reveals About European Anti-Semitism |
| 2018-12-23 |
| [TabletMagazine] According to ’respondents who experienced some form of anti-Semitic harassment in the past five years,’ 30 percent of the perpetrators were Moslem, 21 percent were left wing, and only 13 percent expressed right-wing views. All too often, the issue of anti-Semitism in Europe  ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum...is written about as an amorphous problem, like it was some noxious vapor floating in the ether that occasionally inflicts itself on individual Jews. In reality, it usually manifests in three distinct forms‐left, right, and Moslem. Earlier this month, the European Union |

| #15 what is a "kibbutz" but perfect socialism on a micro scale and they work! The reason the kibbutzes work is because membership is entirely voluntary, 746. The other reason is that those who arrive donate their possessions to the community, and — as I understand it — those who walk away leave most of their share of the equity behind. Then there is the unpaid labour of all the happily working tourists, and the fact that most kibbutzes are engaged in profitable enterprises to support the communism within. The ones that did not take these steps died long ago. |

| #14 ...which strangely enough is why the Soviet Union didn't object at the start. On May 17, 1948, three days after Israel declared its independence, the Soviet Union officially recognized Israel. They would take a different policy later. |

| #11 It's like 'Americans'. We get lumped in with those even of long blood line here (whether that includes 1/1024 Native American or not) who by act and deed are either tribalists or globalists and have no commitment to being American. They'll take the descriptive and the benefits that go with it though. |

| #10 The "problem" with the Jews is that it is a religion as well as an ethnic group and the two sides don't necessary agree on things but get lumped together anyway. |

| #9 I identify people by what they do, not the label hung on them by others or even themselves at times. Pious people are to be respected period. Western Civ is based upon their works and contributions. As imperfect as it may be, it is far greater than what has been offered up in place of it. |

| #7 Thank you, gentlemen. You hearten me. To clarify, because my original post was written in the middle of the night, I do not think that jvalentour and Procopius2k — whom I otherwise admire immensely — are Joo-haters, or even Jew-dislikers. I don’t doubt that as they read the responses to their comments they are recalling all the Jews they know who do not fit their description. But the locution is a species of argumentative laziness that gives permission to those who really do hate, not to mention insulting the surprising number of Rantburgers who are either Jewish themselves or have Jewish friends and relations. |

| #6 Anti-semitism isn't like other forms of prejudice. Most overt prejudice doesn't really manifest unless there's a target present for the prejudiced to start in with the ugly crapola. But the anti-semite just needs a trigger word to go all the way over the top. As a result of private schooling, I've been around Jewish people my own age - and their parents and grand parents - my whole life and I don't for the life of me understand how the hell the garden variety anti-semite gets so worked up. Anti-semites are creepily obssessed. |

| #4 I am with you TW. I offered to dump someone into a campfire and bash them with a rock hammer when they wouldn't shut up about jew this and jew that. And this was in rural Tenn. I told him I doubt he'd ever even met a real one. The sheer hatred is insane. |

| #3 I am getting so fucking tired of hearing “the Jews” this and “the Jews” that. |

| #2 ...cause they're socialists first and foremost. "You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other." Matthew 6:24 |

| #1 In the US the Jews support mainly liberal politicians who are anti-Jew. They seem so self destructive... |
