The Jews are afraid, but what about the rest of us?

According to a recent press report Britain is currently experiencing a sharp increase in incidents of anti-semitic hate crimes.  As a result, many Jews in this country are beginning to wonder if they have a future in Europe.  In France the situation is far worse, with many Jews emigrating to either Britain or Israel.

Last year a leading British newspaper columnist argued that Israel is the country where Jews go to live when they are afraid of being killed.

My first comment is that the main engine of anti-semitism appears to be Islam, and yet I don't hear Jews arguing for an immigration policy which excludes Muslims.  Likewise I don't hear them arguing for The Koran to be banned from prisons or for Islamic schools to be closed down.

I have noted some of the contents of The Koran in previous posts, and I can assure the uninformed reader that Islam is far from innocent.

My second comment is that it is not only Jews who are victimised by Muslims.  Gentiles also suffer at the hands of Muslim intimidation, but the difference is that gentiles do not have their Israel.  I am a gentile.  When I am afraid of being killed, where should I go to be safe?

My third comment relates also to the news that survivors of the fictitious National Socialist holocaust are being given medals.  While I accept that many Jews died in German concentration camps, it is fair to say that their fate was no worse than that of many concentration camp inmates.  (Apparently there is some controversy about whether concentration camps were invented by the Russians in the eighteenth century or by the Spaniards in the nineteenth century.)

Millions of people died in the Second World War, and millions more in the First World War.  The vast majority of these people were white gentiles.  Where is there a memorial to these victims?  It is true that almost every town and village in Great Britain has a war memorial, but these record only the fallen from the military.  There is little recognition of the civilians who died.  Evil politicians like Barack Obama implore us to remember an imaginary holocaust of Jews, but do not mention the very real holocaust of white gentiles.

Right now my sympathy for frightened Jews is very limited.
