Europe’s Silent Surrender to Antisemitism, full report here
Orléans, the city of
Joan of Arc, the girl who saved France from English conquest during the Hundred
Years’ War. The rabbi of Orléans, Aryeh Engelberg, is walking with his
nine-year-old son when he is kicked and punched, bitten on the shoulder and
insulted. In Orleans today 37 percent of young people in Orleans are
non-European, compared to 2 percent in 1968.
A few hours earlier, a Jewish girl was walking through Christiania, the
famous hippie neighborhood of Copenhagen. She thought she was in the “Free
City,” self-managed and bohemian. The woman has an Israeli flag in her
backpack. A man asks her if she is Jewish and she says yes. “Are you proud of
it?” When the woman says yes again, the man spits on her. The woman calls the
police, but in the meantime another man appears and tells her to throw away her
“damn” Israeli flag.
“There were at least 50 people watching and when I screamed for help, one
of the men smiled mockingly and said: ‘No one will help you here.’ He then
grabbed me by the throat and started strangling me with his hands. When I
finally managed to speak to the police, they didn’t ask me if I was OK, but why
I was carrying an Israeli flag in an area like Christiania.”
Meanwhile, Faiz Shah from Bradford, Mohammad Comrie from Leeds and Elinaj
Ogunnubi-Sime from Croydon kidnapped an Israeli Jew in London. Their victim,
Itay Kashti, a music producer and composer from London, was lured to a holiday
cottage in West Wales under the guise of working with musicians, only to be
kicked, punched and handcuffed to a radiator by the three Islamists.
Welcome to Eurabia!
In France, there is an anti-Jewish attack every three days. In London, a
Jew risks losing an eye. In Berlin, a foiled attack on the Israeli embassy (the
one at the Shoah Memorial was successful). In Sweden, Jews under escort. In
Rome, a boy wearing a kippah attacked on Via Nazionale. And all between January
and February 2025
Norwegian Jews are increasingly concerned about being treated in public
health facilities.
Who would want to stay in this Europe?
“In England, there are Islamic courts and police who apply Sharia law,”
Pierre Martinet, a former French intelligence officer, just said. “Some
neighborhoods are governed by Islam. In Europe, we have seen huge
demonstrations with Al Qaeda or Islamic State flags. Doing nothing would be
suicidal.”
And “57 percent of European Jews are thinking of leaving.” This is the
other data just out of the Combat Antisemitism Movement conference in Vienna,
which brought together leaders of European communities. The number of
anti-Semitic incidents has increased by 400 percent in parts of Europe. “We are
losing the battle,” Ariel Muzicant, president of the European Jewish Congress,
said in Vienna. “In a few years, 50 percent of communities may no longer
exist.”
“I would like to stick a sharp knife directly into the throat of every
Jew I meet.” So wrote Herman Brusselmans, a well-known Flemish writer, in the
magazine Humo. The European Jewish Association has filed a lawsuit
against both the Belgian magazine and the writer, accusing them of “incitement
to murder.” Now a judge has ruled: “It falls
within freedom of expression.”
If he had written “I would like to stick a sharp knife directly into the
throat of every black man I meet,” would he have been acquitted?
“Goodbye Europe, Welcome Israel.” This is the title of the Arte documentary
about the Dutch Jew Shirli and the Italian Massimo who chose to leave Europe to
make aliyah. Who can blame Shirli? Last week, another threat was made to a
Jewish school in Amsterdam: “We will kill three of your students.” Only a
madman would not take them seriously. Further, the University of Amsterdam is
kicking out Israeli students.
Joel Kotkin talks about the “Jewish flight from the West”: “The Jewish
population in Europe was 3.5 million in 1950, after the Holocaust. Today it has
fallen well below 1.5 million. France is home to the third largest Jewish
community in the world, but it is shrinking. Since 2000, 50,000 Jews have left
France, mostly for Israel. Even more shocking has been the virtual annihilation
of Jews in Islamic countries: one million until the 1960s, today there are less
than 15,000 Jews living there.”
“The European Jewish population today is comparable to that of the Middle
Ages,” warns Guillaume Erner. “With the Holocaust, anti-Semitism achieved its
goal in Europe. While in 1939 Poland was populated by 3,500,000 Jews, in the
European Union there remain 750,000, of whom 450,000 are in France. The other
dizzying element, which no one talks about, is the disappearance of Jews in the
Arab world. A million Jews lived there.” Today, no one.
And while Norway has only 1,300 Jews left; the country of Quisling has
never seen such a wave of anti-Semitism. A Jewish boy was just kicked out of a
shop in Bergen. “Because of the rising anti-Semitism in Norway and the
Norwegian government, Norwegian Jews have started making aliyah to Israel,”
writes Hanne Ramberg from Oslo. “I feel horrible that the Norwegian government
does not protect its own minority, who have to emigrate to have a life of
security.”
Meanwhile, Meir Villegas Henriquez, an Orthodox rabbi at the Beit Midrash
(Jewish Studies Center) in Rotterdam, said in a video message recorded in his
synagogue:
The chief rabbi of the Great Synagogue of Paris, Moshe Sebbag, also calls
for departure: “There is no future for Jews in France. I tell all young people
to go to Israel or to a safer country.”
Over the past fifteen years, 60,000 of 350,000 Jews have left
Ile-de-France. Since 1972, 106,000 French Jews have left for Israel. “In a few
decades, there will be no Jews in France,” said Richard Abitbol, president of
the Confederation of French Jews.
After the liberation from the Theresienstadt concentration camp, the
great rabbi and philosopher Leo Baeck wrote: “An era in history has ended for
us Jews... We believed that the German and Jewish spirits could meet on German
soil and, through their marriage, could become a blessing. That was an
illusion: the era of the Jews in Germany is over once and for all.”
It would be one of the greatest successes in history to prove this great
man wrong. But we should do as Hungary does, where today there is an ever
larger and ever more secure Jewish community and we know why: they have very
little Islamic immigration.
Natan Sharanksy asked French intellectual Alain Finkielkraut whether
“European Jewry has a future in Europe,” the philosopher responded with a
question: “Does Europe have a future in Europe?”
It will be a post-Christian, semi-Islamized, and Jüdenrein Europe. Many
are working on this terrible scenario.
History has taught us that anti-Semites always start with the Jews, but
never stop there. In other words, the Jews are the appetizer, the
others are the main course. They could at least read the fable of the
Scorpion and the Frog to realize that those for whom they demonstrate today
will turn against them tomorrow. This is the relentless mechanics of History.”
And Europeans are like
the frog that, slow-cooked, fails to jump out of the pot in time and is boiled.
