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.
Backwards people filled with envy and resentment don't look at someone else's superior way of doing things and want to emulate them—they want to destroy them. It is much easier to drag someone down to your low level than it is to raise yourself up.
Then add the fact that these are Jews, who Islamists consider inferior and will only tolerate as dhimmis, and all reason vanishes. Admitting that Israel inhabits a higher form of civilization would be an intolerable ego bruise.
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
True Brits (not the Government and its various departments, nor Judiciary, nor Police, nor the MSM etc.) know that we are being invaded by hostile forces. The evidence is all around us.
My late father served in WWII, flying 50 bombing missions over southern Europe and into Germany. Like most vets, he rarely spoke of what he had experienced, but he once told me that “we had to get rid of Hitler. He was a horrible son of a bitch.”
He passed away 6 years ago at 95, still alert and cognizant. I miss him dreadfully, but I’m glad he didn’t have to witness the rebirth of the horrible son of a bitch he volunteered to defeat over 80 years ago.
A little reported fact from the immediate aftermath Kristallnacht was the confiscation of weapons from the Jews. The Nazi laws of 1935 and as tightened on 11 Nov 1938, forbade the possession by Jews of guns and ammunition. The events of Kristallnacht were used as the pretext to enter Jewish homes and businesses for the search and seizure of weapons in the name of "safety for the community". Any Jew found with a gun(s) and/or ammunition was arrested and subject to 5 years imprisonment (usually at Dachau) as well as an indeterminate fine (usually about DM 10,000). Needless to say, if you were a Jew sentenced to 5 years in 1938, you probably never saw freedom again. Most likely, you were killed with the rest. When I hear my liberal friends talk about the need to restrict gun ownership (here in the U.S.) in the name of safety, all I can think of is "fools". Thank goodness that the men who wrote our Constitution were still close enough to the personal knowledge of the abuses of the British Empire to write the 2nd Amendment. I burned some powder this last week at the practice range. You should all "strike a blow for liberty" and do the same.
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.
Pius XI summed up the truth not just of Catholicism but any Christian confession: “We are all spiritual Semites.” It is the assault on the revelation of Sinai, and all that’s left went before it and came after. It is Moloch, fed for decades by the murder of infants, now seeking his old enemy.
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 .
Feel free to vacation in Europe but go to Israel first. Israel needs tourism, is wide open and thankful, and after a couple of weeks in Israel, you may not want to go to Europe.
Right now the only foreign countries I'd visit are the Czech Republic and Hungary. For other options visit the Israel Allies Foundation but read the list of member nations with care. Scratched my head about a few on the list.
The Europe of today sounds much different from the Europe of post WW2. Personally I support a boycott of Europe with the exception of certain eastern European countries.
"Should American Jews show their disgust with Europe by no longer vacationing there? Or is that too much sacrifice to ask ."
Well, you might want to ask Jews to start by not going to New York City. That might also go for Minneapolis, Chicago. LA, SF and in fact any Blue State. There is nothing there for you but hatred.
By thy way, Bernie Sanders is just Zohran Mamdani without a prayer rug.
NYPost has a story how the usual array of anti Zionist rabbis and socialist "Jewish" groups with a range of anti Zionism from mild to hysteric are all up in arms about ADL "mamdani monitor" Natch. So I'm trying to find a way to show ADL my support for this. NO Europe had a chance to redeem themselves from their grandparents/great gp generation that refused to do anything on behalf of Jews during the reich....and they failed miserably. So eff them....there is no future for Jews in Europe. and here it's distressing but I think Jews will survive even this rat mamdani.
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!!!
Israel may have won the public opinion war against the Muslim Brotherhood among its own people, but there is still a war to be waged on behalf of the gentle, innocent, peaceable character of Zionism. This character is reflected in its republic, rule of law, care for the needs, rights, and sufferings of its people; and the same care for the needs, rights, and sufferings of its neighbors and enemies as it is able, willing and required to.
Israel is called the Jewish state by foe, friend and the indifferent. Thus, whether Jews acknowledge it or not, in the imagination of the world, Israel is the symbol of all that is Jewish.
When Jews and non-Jews slime Israel, what they really mean is that all Jews are untermenschlich needing to be purged from this world if truth, purity, and the right are to be restored so that finally we have peace on earth.
Uh, yeah. New York said Never Forget after 9/11, and look how that turned out. Turns out infiltrating public schools was an effective strategy, along with all the other grievances that are now taught in public schools.

Do it anyway. In their face, loud and proud.

Right but that would mean they weren’t in bed with all the pro-terrorist organizations.
The Brits like to proudly say that they have not been invaded by foreign invaders since the Norman conquest. I'm not so sure about that.

You might want to check out jewscanshoot.org. We must be able to defend ourselves and our rights.

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.

I don’t think we should give any of our money or support to Jew-hating places. For example, even though it’s close, I will not go to Canada.

The History of Jewish Vienna
From medieval times to modern day, uncover the compelling history of the Jews of Vienna and its haunting lessons about antisemitism.

And sadly, Mamdani is a new Lueger who poisoned Vienna ahead of Kristallnacht

Brittinistan. God the British hate themselves. Millions laid down their lives for the country that was. Betrayal of the highest order.

Then get Israel to allow all its Jews to be armed, not just the 5% who are allowed "permits."
You need a permit in Israel to prevent a Muslim from killing you?
You need permit to prevent a Muslim from raping your wife?
That was stupid before October 7th but after it is insanity.
Yes, indeed....
Thank you Leo.
