Anti-Semitism: Alive and well in Europe

If only Israel would stop oppressing the palestinians and give them their own state, attacks like these would never happen.

Polish Chief Rabbi attacked in Warsaw
Poland’s chief rabbi, Michael Schudrich, was punched and sprayed with what appeared to be pepper spray by an unidentified man in downtown Warsaw on Saturday, but escaped without injuries from what police said may have been an anti-Semitic attack.

Schudrich said he was heading to a Sabbath lunch near Warsaw’s main synagogue with a group of people when a young man yelled out “Poland for Poles!”

“That’s a well-known pre-World War II slogan which basically means ‘Jews, get out of Poland,’ and I didn’t like hearing it, so I approached the gentleman to ask him why he said such things, and his reaction was to punch me in the chest,” Schudrich told AP.

“I was going to hit him back, but before I had a chance to hit him he sprayed me with some kind of spray – maybe pepper spray.”

If only Israel would stop oppressing the palestinians and give them their own state, attacks like these would never happen.

Shoppers in the historic Marais neighbourhood, one of the busiest districts in the Jewish area of Paris, were left in shock early Sunday evening after a group of extremists terrorized community members with anti-Semitic verbal abuse.

More than 20 men claiming to be members of the Tribu-Ka anti-white group walked up and down the crowded Rue des Rosiers shouting at the families and youths in the area.

The French Office of Vigilance against anti-Semitism (BNCVA) said in a statement the gang was “performing Nazi salutes, looking for a fight with the neighbourhood’s Jews, threatening and intimidating them.”

Yes, if only Israel would give the palestinians a state (preferably behind the 1949 Armistice lines), Jews the world over would not continue to be attacked by these people. It isn’t anti-Semitism, you see. It’s anti-Zionism.
