If the British authorities cared about their Jewish population they would have called out any and all necessary police and even military to ensure that Jewish fans could have attended the match unmolested. Yes, that would have resulted in some ugly scenes caught on video, but it would have been a definitive statement that they weren’t going to tolerate aggression directed to the Jewish community simply for the crime of being Jewish. Instead, the government meekly allowed this primitive hatred to carry the day, so going forward the radical Muslims and their toadies will feel even more emboldened to threaten violence. And why not? No one is stopping them

The Jews have an option today that they didn't have 90 years ago.

Exactly. Get out of there. Before what followed the night of the broken glass begins again.

For reasons that don't make ANY sense, Jew-hatred lives constantly and as in 1938 is on the rise again this time because of ISLAM. One of the eternal irrationalities is that with such a small sliver of the world's population Jews are attacked by almost every country in one way or another. As a Catholic I believe that it will only end when Jesus, who was Jewish Himself, returns which is my personal position so please don't get riled up over this.

The irony is that Israel--Zionism--is the best and probably the only hope the arabs in the middle east have of getting out of the dark ages of ignorance and dictatorships. Israel brings to the Mid East the age of reason and the enlightenment, the idea that the Govt and the clergy are your servants and not your masters. Thode ideas are what the Moslem Brotherhood and Hamas et al are fighting against. It is Israel that freed Syria from Assad and is giving Lebanon an opportunity to free itself from the stranglehold of Hezbollah. Yet Israel receives no Thanks for it.

This is a period of history where there is an inversion of values.

So, what I wrote before. We must buy weapons and training with the weapons, if we must wait for the government to protect us we are DEAD!! I do not repeat that sh**t anymore. Go and sleep and see what happens if you are being woken up! There is NO in between and NO explanation and there will be NO peace whatsoever with EUROPE or ME. We must take up the arms we are forced ti fight AND WE WILL FIGHT till the END!!!

Should American jews show their disgust with europe by no longer vacationing there? Or is that too much sacrifice to ask . Especially those who love to "Resist fascism" in America .
