The brutal killing of a Holocaust survivor raises anti-Semitism fears in France

French authorities are investigating whether the victim was targeted because of her religion.

The problem with Europe isn’t that most Europeans are flagrantly antisemitic. It’s that way too many Europeans tolerate antisemitism. So they are less overtly anti-Jewish, but, as we know that attitude has the same dire results. So flagrant or merely tolerant, they allow innocent people to be murdered simply based on their Jewishness. It’s the 21st century and not much has changed in Europe. That this happened to this woman, a survivor of the Holocaust, is absolutely atrocious.

Polish government cancels scheduled Bennett visit over Holocaust remarks - International news - Jerusalem Post

“The blood of Polish Jews cries from the ground, and no law will silence it. The Government of Poland cancelled my visit, because I mentioned the crimes of its people. I am honored.”

That the Poles were complicit in the Holocaust HISTORY, not a subjective claim. Hitler CHOSE Poalnd because he knew the POles were even more antisemtic than the Germans. And, in fact, Poles continued to murder Jews even AFTER the war ended. This is just one more piece of proof that Europe's inherent antisemitism has never waned, it was just better hidden for a few generations. Poland is just as disgusting as ever.

"Now, the next generation has an important lesson about the Holocaust of our people, and I will ensure that they learn it,” he said, adding that the decision by the Polish government “has a role to play in Holocaust education, even if they intended it to achieve something else.”

"The Polish bill would impose up to three years of jail time for using the term “Polish death camps,” when describing such death machines as Auschwitz and Treblinka, or for implying complicity of the Polish nation in the Nazi murder of millions of Jews and other minorities during WWII."

It's sickening that this is even a controversial idea. I am not a fan of dividing people up by the shade of their skin (in any way). BUT, the movement to paint Jews as white Europeans is rooted in centuries old antisemitic tropes. It is wielded mot often to deny our millennia old connection to Israel-and was unheard of until relatively recently.

"The fact that Jews writ large are not racially European (i.e. white), but rather an indigenous Middle Eastern/”Oriental” people who are cousins of the Arabs, was common knowledge until the 1960s. And this knowledge only became obscured with the concomitant rise of anti-Zionist ideology, which rests on denying Jewish indigeneity to the Middle East and, by extension, our right to be there at all (at least as something other than “inferior dhimmi”)."

Division at the Western Wall is no path to unity - Opinion - Jerusalem Post

Over 60% of American Jews are totally unaffiliated, and have little or no interest in Judaism, Israel, Jerusalem or the Western Wall.

"Gender-separate prayer services are no “ultra-Orthodox” invention; they are part of our universal Jewish heritage. Descendants of refugees from Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Algeria pray at the Western Wall, alongside those whose grandparents were born in Israel and those who immigrated to escape Soviet oppression and antisemitism in France – joined by immigrants and students from America and around the globe. Despite millennia of dispersion, Jews everywhere follow the same basic prayer service. In our common Jewish practice, we find unity."
