The anti-semitic double standard

By Jonathan J. Ariel - posted Friday, 20 February 2015


Together these make for a very potent mix of old experience and new money.

Third, demonstrated double standards in media reporting.

Fourth, they are again subjected to emotive and historically false claims where they are made to look like the perpetrators of evil, or a people “inviting” anti Semitism when in fact they are the victims of terror.

When viewed in this light, the European and Islamic imperative is to remove the Jew from society. Every society.

Jews are criticised for what they do and targeted for who they are. The fact that they have survived for thousands of years against great odds is indeed galling to some. And the establishment of a non-Islamic state in the Middle East is too much to bear for many.

In the 1930s many Nazis and even non-Nazis berated the Jews of Europe to “get the Hell out of Europe and go, just go to Palestine”.

Now their grandchildren insist the Jews stop defending themselves against the terror groups of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Palestinian Authority and demand the Jews “get out of Palestine”. By “Palestine” of course they mean today’s “Israel”.

So what the bigots are saying is that while the Jews must leave “Palestine”, they  are clearly not welcome in Europe.

Other than 6 feet under, where exactly do the bigots propose the Jews go?

And that’s the point.
