1. Time To Separate
ASTRONAUT ,   USA   (04.18.12)
Right-wing Zionist Jews form a line on the right. Left-wing anti-Zionist Jews please join the line on the left. Your soaps and towels await as you enter the "showers." This is what the splintering of Judaism has led to, from Nutrei Karta to haredim to the non-kosher Reform to Jews-for-Jesus. The leftie Jews think that by distancing themselves from Israel, that the goyim won't touch them. Sorry, folks, we're all going into the cauldron.
2. Eww
Marina ,   USA   (04.18.12)
When will this stop? Makes me want to slap people upside the head that I don't even know. How can people hate a whole people, we are beautiful!
3. Send Lt.-Col. Eisner to sort them out!

4. I love the Jewish people..
calabi ,   Sydney Aust   (04.18.12)
In my work I meet many people.....wherever there is religious Muslim be it Arabs, Indian, Turks, Afghans, Filipino or Blacks they try and try to feed me with lies, hate and conspiracy theory against the Jews. I reach to a point that I was angry that I told them that my GOD is a ZIONIST!!!!! Sure if I'm in their country they will surely hate or harm me. Israel and China is is the safest place for the Jews now. God bless the Jews and Israel and Jerusalem
5. Statistics are false
Adrian ,   USA   (04.18.12)
13 recorded hate crimes against Jews in the USA? Wishful thinking, its in the hundreds.
6. EU will be consumed by hatred and racism
(04.18.12)
They threw Jews out only to be overwhelmed by Muslims and Nazis. The Leftists and Anarchists will be the first to go when the Muslims and their Nazis start moving. Next both supremacist ideologies - Islam and Nazism will fight each-other to the death. EU will become soon a bloodbath and the "silent majority" who is only interesting in appeasing racism and intolerance rather than fighting the, will be responsible for it.
7. Tunisia better than Western democracies

That's a poor standing for everybody!
8. up or down?
desi ,   Montreuil,FR   (04.18.12)
The content of the report says anti semitic acts are down....and the title of the article says...anti semitism is up and more brutal!! Anyway, has anybody EVER seen a report on anti semitism not saying it's up and that a 2nd shoah is for next week???I mean this is a permanent topic of israeli press.ANTI SEMITISM IS UP EVERYWHERE!!!!THEY HATE US!!!ANTI SEMITISM IS DOWN BUT WIDESPREAD!!!BLAH BLAH BLAH A good example:the article says France has the "dubious" record of AS acts(114)- you have to read : the french are antisemitic- Of course it has!!!that's where there are the most jews!!!jewish pop is at least twice bigger than in Britain!!! For the same amount of AS acts by the way....
9. Israel is the 'excuse, Jew-hate the 'motive
tiki ,   belgium   (04.18.12)
This disease is like the flue. Nobody knows where it comes from & there is no recepy for it. Some years it's more dangerous and it even can kill you....especially when you're vulnerable.
10. Nazism never died in Europe!
Gunnar ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (04.18.12)
It only took a temporary break in the decades following WW2. So it's not "back", it has always been there and is showing it's ugly face time and time again. Heck, today's Pope isn't even regretting his time in the SS.
11. For European Jews
Jewish Patriot ,   Galut   (04.18.12)
Jewish Defense League chapters are available in many EU countries. Check out on the Google and join them European Jews. A former JDL founder from Europe I highly recommend you to seek contacts with them, JDL France is quite active BTW.

Left-wingers line up the Right-wingers, and sell them the soap and towels. Then they will be surprised when they find themselves in the shower along with the Right-wingers.
13. Western Europe
carlos ,   london   (04.18.12)
The article is a bit lame and is lacking a lot of detail, in my opinion. When it comes to Western Europe, the biggest antisemitism for sure comes from Muslim immigrants and only a small percentage from the far-right. In Eastern Europe it's the opposite, f.e. Russia, Poland and Hungary have an alarming amount of Neo-Nazis (often mixed up with Hooligans as you can see in the picture above) within their population. But altogether, the mix of total irresponsible flooding of Muslim immigration, high Muslim birthrate vs. low European birth rate and a possible escalation in the Middle East with the result of making Israel the scapegoat of the whole world will create a very ugly atmosphere for the Jews. @ #9: Sweden? Probably together with Belgium/NL and France the worst place for Jews in Europe. Just take a look at Malmö! Reason: Massive amount of Muslim immigration... I don't understand what the European politicians are thinking, they are destroying the whole continent!
14. #13 You're wrong
Gunnar ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (04.18.12)
The reason for Anti-Semitism in Europe has very little to do with the moslem immigration. The Moslems are still in a minority and if it had been "only" them, then Jews wouldn't have felt very threatened. Not even in Malmo. No, the reason is that the notion of white, Christian supremacy still is very much alive among Europeans. "We" are honest, "we" are hardworking, "we" don't comit crimes. "We" are not like "them", the blacks, the Arabs, the Jews, the Latin Americans etc etc. Living in England, you must've heard it all before. During my many visits there, I don't know how many drunk, tattooed, unemployed, often illiterate Englishmen I've come across, behaving like they are the pride and glory of the World. As white Europeans, they were per definition God's gift to humanity.
15. Canada
Marty ,   Toronto Canada   (04.18.12)
In Canada the situation is exacerbated by a Left Wing media (CBC, Toronto Star etc) that pander to Muslims and focus on every move Israel makes no matter how inconsequential. Canadian attitudes of Reasonable Accomodation, tolerance and fear of being accused of being anti-Muslim are such that even when an Anti-Semitic hate crime or Anti-Semitic harassment takes place, the media and even the police will do anything they can to avoid categorizing the incident as an Anti-Semitic hate crime.
16. ARE YOU COMING HOME ??!!
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (04.18.12)
Strangly we do not see planes full of Jews making alyah. Sadly some people never learn and are totally oblivious to their surrounding reality. Europe has been a death trap for the jews for almost 2000 years, but still even after the destruction of the Holocast, we still have Jews who refuse to act and leave. So what is it going to take another 1000 Toulouse attacks to wake up?

Nice to read your encouraging post Calabi!
18. Jews in Europe
Arnold ,   Canada   (04.19.12)
The population of Jewish people in Europe is a far cry from what it was before the second world war. The population of Jewish people in europe today is less per capita than the population of Muslims. In a way you can say that the anti-semitism in 21st century Europe is against both Jew and Muslim but the Muslim population is egging on the far right anyway. Two things will happen. The Jewish population will emigrate out to Israel or other country. Secondly the Muslim population will feel comfortable that they and the neo-nazis threw out the Jew and then the neo-nazi will have time to focus on the muslims. That will be something because the muslims fight back.
19. #13-14: You are both wrong
Tom ,   USA   (04.19.12)
1. The Muslims don't have yet the political power to support W. Europe's anti-Israeli drive. 1.The Marxist Left is the chief instigator and center of antisemitism: all Western Leftist parties are in alliance with Islamofascism. How come that neither of you noticed it? Every single antisemitic action is organized by the Left: From the Baader-Meinhof's group, then the Marmara episode, Guenter Grass conniption, Boycott drive and the yesterday brawl with the leftist provocateurs...it was the face of the Marxist Left. 2. White nationalist like British National Party (BNP) or English Defense League, Geert Wilders NL. or the Front National of Marine Le Pen...are all pro Israeli groups or parties. Individual antisemitic actions do exist by fringe, small neo-Nazi groups notwithstanding, but... But the organized, radical political antisemitism is emanating from the Euro-American-Left.
20. #18; Arnold: Let's fear the boogeyman
Tom ,   USA   (04.19.12)
1. There are no sanctioned neo-Nazi parties exist in W. Europe. No far-right (near-Nazi) group collected enough votes to be represented in any legislature. It's a Leftist tactic to instill fear by projecting the image of the eternal Boogeyman: a lone skinhead with tattooed swastika on his bald head. The Marxist parties are the importers of Muslims, they organize all hostile anti-Israeli actions all over the world. It's unfortunate that many Jews still afraid of the Nazi gestapo even though surviving Waffen-SS members are today joined the Red Socialists and bashing the Jews the same way as they did before. But this is an uncomfortable truth to accept: kicking the dead horse is easier than discerning the real world.
21. The Kantor Program For The Study Of Contemporary Antisemitis
Sarah Rembiszewski ,   Israel   (04.19.12)
I supose the writer of the article did neither read the general analysis nor has he been present during the press conference when it was released. Without commenting on the many misunderstandings (not to say mistakes) I would like to stress that the Report is a relase of the Moshe Kantor Program For the Study of Contemporary Racism and Antisemitism and that all the reasearcher mentioned belong to this Program.
22. # 21...So what are they doing about it? TATA

humanape ,   Israel   (04.22.12)
The reports states very clearly that the full USA data is not available yet. It's a shame the reporter didn't notice it.
24. The threat to humanity
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (04.24.12)
is Marxism and Islamo facsism,not the skinheads or the empty heads,the brown and the red plagues are the new disease that spreads like a fire,and brainwashes the minds of the young and the feeble minded,like communism and national socialism did in the 20th century,like than the Jews were the first victims,but not the last.
25. Come on
GHook93 ,   Chicago   (04.30.12)
I don't want to make it like antisemitism doesn't exist because we know it doew. But don't over-state . The entire world saw 446 acts in which 3/4 were threats of vandalism. Anyway you want put it that is not alarming and or something to get overly concerned with. Second, for g^d sakes put the blame where it is due. The media always wants to make antisemitic rises on right-wing WHITE hard groups. They're hatred is there, but the Attacks and Propaganda is coming from the Muslim community and the far left. The White Right-Winger is dwarfed by both groups!
26. The Pope
