Survey Of European Jews: ‘Far Right’ Not To Blame For Most Anti-Semitism

33

This is obvious. And it isn’t just Europe, either. The rampant escalation in worldwide antisemitism is due to the norming and sanction of Islamic genocidal Jew-hatred. Jews are fleeing Europe en masse and with good reason. They are “increasingly concerned for their safety due to everyday experiences of anti-Semitism.” The rise of Jew-hatred is not because of the “far right”; it is a result of the unprecedented migration of Muslims. Islamic antisemitism — it’s in the Quran. Europe is only going to grow less hospitable for the Jews as the Muslim population there continues to increase.

“Survey Of European Jews: ‘Far Right’ Not To Blame For Most Anti-Semitism,” by Josh Hammer, Daily Wire, February 1, 2019 (thanks to Mark):

This week, on the day following International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Fiamma Nirenstein of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs — a think tank which describes itself as “a leading independent research institute specializing in public diplomacy and foreign policy” — published a post on “Holocaust Denial, Dementia and Israel.” Nirenstein referenced two recent surveys of European Jews on the scourge of anti-Semitism — one conducted by CNN and one conducted by the European Union.

Story continues below advertisement

As Mosaic highlighted in its summary of Nirenstein’s post, perhaps the most interesting tidbit from the surveys is not the deeply depressing — and all too ubiquitous — finding of rapidly increasing ignorance about the Holocaust, but the (perhaps counter-intuitive, to some on the Left) findings on the specific nature of the anti-Semitic threats most frequently faced by current European Jews:

Almost 90 percent of the European Jews polled declared they had suffered some violence (including threatening and offensive online messages…phone calls, comments, and gestures, along with actual physical assaults). Thirty percent identified the perpetrator as “someone with an extremist Muslim view,” 21 percent as someone with left-wing political views, and 13 percent as someone with right-wing politics. …Those who…insist upon tying the new racist danger to the new “nationalist” political parties and their “populist” derivatives should inspect whom or what is responsible for this.

The Jews who have felt the rise of anti-Semitism the most (70 percent) live in France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands; …British Jews — at 84 percent — expressed the highest level of concern about anti-Semitism in political life today. Together with Germany and Sweden, the United Kingdom has also seen the highest increase in the number of Jews considering emigrating over the past five years due to safety concerns. [In none of these countries does the far right dominate.]…

In Poland and Hungary, [by contrast], fewer than half of their Jewish populations are worried. …In Hungary, where Viktor Orban’s right-wing government is suspected of racism, the number of Hungarian Jews saying anti-Semitism is a problem has significantly dropped.

As Nirenstein bluntly summarizes, then, “whoever continues to believe that anti-Semitism flourishes particularly where national right-wing parties have taken root is mistaken.” Instead, the leading current threat to European Jewry comes from the toxic combination of far Left anti-Semitism (often, though hardly always, masquerading as “anti-Zionism”) and Muslim anti-Semitism.

The CNN and European Union surveys perfectly dovetail with the Joint Distribution Committee’s International Center for Community Development recent survey of 893 European Jewish leaders, which Evelyn Gordon discussed at Commentary in November. As Gordon noted, there was a stark difference in anti-Semitic sentiment reported between Jews living in the generally more right-leaning countries of Eastern Europe, and Jews living in the generally more left-leaning countries of Western Europe:

In the east, a whopping 96 percent of respondents felt safe, while only four percent felt unsafe. In the West, 76 percent felt safe, and 24 percent felt unsafe. Respondents from places like Poland, Hungary, and Romania — countries routinely accused of having anti-Semitic, borderline fascist governments — felt safer than Jews in liberal countries like France and Germany by a 20-point margin.

Many of the recently ascendant nationalist leaders in Eastern Europe, furthermore, have distinguished themselves by their strong diplomatic and security ties with Israel. Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, for example, has had exceedingly cordial relations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu….

It is not clear wether the left’s & right’s motivation for incitement against Jews & Israel is not rooted in the unjust Muhammad-law & war.
Hitler viewed the unjust Muhammadism as ultimate Nazi religion that as he told his architect & minister of war Albert Speer matches the German temperament better & many Nazi criminals openly converted to the unjust Muhammadism after the war & worked in the Egyptian Muhammadist tyranny under Nasser & in Syria.
Nazi-SS commander Otto Skorzeny for example who freed Mussolini from a prison in Gran Sasso moved to Cairo after the war & instructed the Intelligence Services of the Muhammadist tyranny under Nasser.
Unjust Muhammad said his Messiah would return when trees & stones would lure Muhammadists to unjustly murder Jews.

Positive signs that European Jews are waking up … but the polls also show that they are not as alarmed as they should be. No nation in Europe where the Left is importing Muslims is ‘safe’ for Jews. And that is not just because of the Muslims. Jews who believe the Lefties are not anti-Semitic, and the ‘nativists’ … are seriously deluded.

As mentioned, Dan, the Leftist-Progressives are the Neo-Nazis of the today. Your fears are the same as mine; the lack of alarm among the Jewish communities mirrors that of the European Jews of the 1930s. The migrant-Muslims are gleefully accommodating the Progressive-Fascists, antisemitic intent, as the Leftists don’t want bloodied hands. Unfortunately, I suspect the majority of Jews whether in the EU or worldwide hold the same naivete; those of the right are the real anti-Semites.

I hope all is well.

I think if they are aware of it, they want to believe “never again” means something.
It doesn’t. History is repeating itself. Human nature doesn’t change.

Jews are easy targets. They only make up about 2% of the world’s population. Muslims are growing in percentage and want to dominate. I wish the liberal Jews would wake up!

The fantasy that will never be:

Everything great here. Nothing to fear but Libtards and the Federal Bureau of Inquisition. 😉

The parallels are surprising even to me. Even in 2008 I would have thought the Left would suppress its anti-Semitic elements until they were held full power and knew that no one could oppose them. But it’s popping up like weeds in the grass

– as if something has moved in the spirit world, and they no longer can contain their hate and restrain their repulsive passions.

Have a great weekend Ziggy!

You are not alone with that thought, Dan. It boggles, the Democrats are underestimating many Americans which was proven in 2016. Their brazen antisemitism, anti-American pathology appeals to the scumbag Progressive Neo-Nazis of which their are many but not the majority of Americans. The treasomous MSM, of course, overlooks the racist diktat and the loathing of the Constitution.

I hope your weekend went well, too.

Makes one wonder … will they just chuck it all and go Full Nastie in another few years?

We know they have pressure operating on them – pushing them forward every few years.

The Muslims are like a catalyst for Leftie anti-semitism.

Yes … and it is a very dangerous catalyst.

As we all may recall from chemistry class … a reaction that could take forever becomes instant when the right catalyst is applied. This is due to lowering the activation energy necessary for the reaction to take place.

In this case the analogy is quite good. Excellent choice AA.

Being the inconvenient truth that this report is, it’s never going to be seen or discussed in the MSM of western countries because it goes against the plot line.

In the UK for example, some of the most left wing trade unions played their part in founding the ANTIFA.

The term “anti-Semitism” is pure madness. How does someone come up with such ideas?
Apart from the fact that few Jews are Semites, and most Europeans have “Jewish” blood.

I’ll try explain it to you: A forum does not serve to
“talk to yourself”, but to communicate something
to others. This may sound strange in your autistic

So it would be an enrichment for any forum if instead of making
idiotic remarks, you could at least contribute a minimal indepen-

ANY criticism of the left and Islam is deemed “hate speech”.
The left and Muslims can be critical, threaten you, assault you and even murder you but that’s not “hate”.
Hate has become subjective. We never should have passed “hate crime” laws.
What crime isn’t a “hate crime”?
It’s just another smack in the face for victims of crime or loved ones left behind.
I agree, it is pure madness. It’s politically correct censorship and punishment.

It is the “religion” of Muslims to HATE Jews, Christians and other non Muslims.
It is in their Quran!

What this famous and revered Imam, Abu Ammaar Yasir Qadhi, preaches goes beyond hate speech… it’s a mission of purification through promoting a religious extermination order. This Imam openly preaches it and we’ve got it on tape.

Once again, my home state of Massachusetts serves as a source of embarrassment, sending (yet) another rabid, flaming, progressive liberal democRAT to Washington to help destroy the country. Former Boston City councillor/ now congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (on left, black dress).

It must be accepted the Democratic Party has been captured by its extreme left-wing who is determined to destroy western civilization here, Europe, and especially Israel.

The anti-Jewish white supremacists (so-called “far right” wing) are allies to the anti-Jewish Islamic supremacists who are allies to the Leftist/Fascist Totalitarian Socialistic anti-Jews. Nothing new under the sun.
