``State Dept. report: Neo-Nazis, Muslims prompting
rise in anti-Semitism in Europe ``

WASHINGTON - Anti-Semitism in western Europe today is a combination of classic hatred of Jews and an anti-Israel approach, according to the first State Department report on the phenomenon, and anti-Semitic acts in western Europe have increased in both severity and frequency since the start of the millennium.




The report adopts the position that demonization of Israelis or comparison of Israeli leaders to Nazis is not legitimate criticism but rather anti-Semitism. It lays the blame for anti-Semitism in western Europe both on the growing number of poor and uneducated Muslims and on the neo-Nazis. In eastern Europe, ultra right-wing elements and skinheads are blamed for most attacks on Jews and their property.

Several European countries, notably France, Belgium and Germany, are taking severe steps against the perpetrators, the report found, but others do not treat the problem seriously. It does not cite specific acts, but says that there were physical acts of violence against Jews in 12 European countries in the past year; acts of vandalism against cemeteries and synagogues in 30 countries; and verbal violence in 28.

``Whats this got to do with I/P ?``

to quote the article ``The report adopts the position that demonization of Israelis or comparison of Israeli leaders to Nazis is not legitimate criticism but rather anti-Semitism.``

23. Kings and queens
While Queens are a little different from Kings, both are equally capable of getting the job done equally.

...and you said its got nothing to do with I/P...


``At an Islamic school in Gaza City run by Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement), an 11-year-old Palestinian student pronounced loudly to his classmates, "I will make my body a bomb that will blast the flesh of Zionists, the sons of pigs and monkeys. I will tear their bodies into little pieces and cause them more pain than they will ever know.``

16. something for both sides to listen to
>>its disgusting to dehumanize people as 'pigs and monkeys'

Words of wisdom! I hope that both sides will listen to what you have to say. Remember, there are two sides in this conflict. :)


They're (the Palestinians) eating dirt and that fat pig wife of his is living in Paris.

17. "Palestinians are pigs, murderous, scum pigs"--Santa Monica window display
Edited on Sat Jan-08-05 01:00 PM by King Mongo
“Palestinians are pigs, murderous, scum pigs,” reads the largest of many word-processed signs in the front windows of Allphone Wholesale in Santa Monica. The collage includes a Star of David pendant and a picture of a bug-eyed Yasser Arafat with a caption reading, “If this was your neighbor, you would build a fence, too.” Meyer’s signs refer to Palestinians and Muslims as “rag head Arab pig,” “a violent cult of freaks started by a pedophile, misogynist pig,” and “scumbag cockroaches descended from the bowel movements of pigs.” Meyer does not only reserve her vitriol for Arabs. Her signs also refer to Mexico as a “third world freak circus” and the recent Pico Boulevard beautification project as “StupidScape.”

19. both sides
Edited on Sat Jan-08-05 02:09 PM by King Mongo
Both sides kill innocent people. Should we call both sides animals?


although we can understand this young woman's cry, we should not endorse what she said. The Palestinians are not animals. They are people too.

21. humans are not animals
Edited on Sat Jan-08-05 04:30 PM by King Mongo
Animals are not humans. Humans do crazy things, especially when crazy things are done to them.

Why do some people on both sides kill innocent civilians? Please be aware that barbaric forms of violence are not limited to Palestinian activities.


Do you believe that these Jews are animals too?

The bombing in East Jerusalem's Sur Baher neighborhood is thought to be the most extreme Jewish vigilante terrorist strike in years.
http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0307/p08s01-wome.html

Or, do you think that only Palestinians are animals? In my opinion, humans are not animals.

22. minor correction to my opinoin
Sorry, I must correct myself. From a scientific perspective, all humans are actually animals. It is important, however, to recognize that all humans are animals of equal status. If one says that some humans are animals, then one must recognize that all other humans are animals too. No group of humans is superior to any other group of humans.

24. Why don't people understand there's two sets of standards here??
The only time people can be encouraged to demonise another group of people is when something horrific is done that has ONLY happened to the group favoured for special treatment. If the group to be demonised isn't murdered in that specific way, then they have NO right to be angry and use similar language to that approved of when used by the favoured group. Yeah, makes sense to me in exactly the same way that repeated claims that Jordan is Palestine made sense :shrug:
