31. Ottoman Empire redux
The Prophetess ,   SC,USA   (05.06.12)
It's taken a few centuries, but once again, the Euro continent will be overpopulated, overwhelmed, and overrun by islam and the burdens it will inflict on the populace; Jewish and Christian; and the complacent Euro dullards are only too happy to go along with the tide.
32. Jews unwelcome on campus.
Quebec observer ,   Montreal, Canada   (05.06.12)
#1 is completely right. The worst caused damage to Israel comes from Israelis like the Haaretz gang, professors like Ilan Pappe and others. It is a failure of the democracy regime.
33. Jews unwelcome
Sam M ,   UK   (05.06.12)
Treat this anti-semitic rabble with the contempt they deserve and build throughout the Land of Israel. Annex area C in Judea and Samaria and build in east Jerusalem and consign their twisted agenda where it belongs as a mere footnote in the history of ‘activism’. As far as the hateful Spanish students go their impending bankruptcy should be a matter of greater concern as the Spanish economy heads down the slippery slope at an alarming pace along with their hopes and dreams for a better future. When muslims become a majority in parts of europe which is inevitable based on current levels of immigration and their birth-rate these hateful campus trolls may even look back on the Jews with a certain nostalgia!
34. The article is the TRUTH and we are wimps......
Mosskyboy ,   London   (05.06.12)
This article is absolutely spot on - the animosity on campus in the UK for Jews is disgustingly hostile if you support israel but the problem is with us. WE ARE WIMPS in Europe. IF YOU DON'T STAND UP for yourself physically and let it be know that we wont take shit then this will continue to grow and grow. Muslims and Pro Pali activist continue to intimidate Jewish students and do this because THEY CAN, because there is no fear hurting the little Jewish boys on campus who are nerdy looking and study accounting and most of the time DONT stick up for themselves. I went to JFS high school in London (largest Jewish school in Europe) and we always used to get picked on and lots of people took a punch or got mugged by the other schools and did nothing. the Muslims here don't take any shit - if you mess with them the next day they will come back with a 100. cant say that about the Jews. after years of antisemitism pogroms, holocaust etc... SURELY it should be that every Jewish person undergoes self defense for 3 years... i tell you people would stop fucking with us if that were the case and it was known on the streets to not MESS with Jews as they will give yo a good kicking back. i know i have gone way off here BUT i hope you can catch my drift - half the Jews here wont got an face our enemies at rallies because they are scared that it will kick off with the Muslims. its just to easy to single out the weak jews on campus who wont do anything to you if you have a GO at them. WE NEED TO GET STRONG!
35. Islamification of Europe
Arnold-Canada ,   Canada   (05.06.12)
If that is what the Europeans want then let them go ahead. If we Jews need to face the realities of the past then we will. We can build our own universities. We can build our own golf clubs. We can build our own hospitals. We did it before and we can do it again.
36. Our PR is not good enough
Moshico ,   Jerusalem   (05.06.12)
One solution Israel is the home of the Jews, black or white or yellow, Sephardi or Ashkenazi, straight, bi or Gay, welcome home!
37. The jews like Benny Morris just got what they deserve
charles ,   Marseille France   (05.06.12)
Benny Morris has been the most leftist israeli since 20 years. his theories about the history of Israel have launched this wave of delegitimation of the mere existence of the state of Israel. he has written in all kind of propalestinian litterature,used as the proof of their rights. He got now what he deserve. but the problem now is that we are all suffering , because of this kind of "usefull moron"
38. No wondzer that some Europeans react
Raphael ,   Netanya   (05.06.12)
To the colonial program of islamic supremacists and against their local Uncle Toms. There will be more Breiviks.
39. administrative staff
eva goldschmidt ,   Heidelberg, Germany   (05.06.12)
In Germany the so-called 'Auslandsamt' (Office for foreign students' affairs') prevents Jewish students to enroll at German universities. Heidelberg University is a very good example: the Auslandsamt is headed by a person who participated in the flytilla activities. You cannot expect her to admit or support any Jewish student or professor. Heidelberg University is just one of many examples in Germany. Eva
40. # 8--correction needs to be corrected
Darnell Potts ,   North Bergen, NJ   (05.06.12)
You are incorrect on both counts. First, to matriculate is to enroll or register in an educational institutions (regardless of level). Second, one does not graduate from anywhere. An institution graduates a person, or the person was graduated from (name of educational institution). It does not matter whether it is high school or university; the same rules apply.
41. The way I see it, Europe of today
leo ,   usa   (05.06.12)
is paying the price for complacency and even cooperation during Holocaust. It is not Jews that are in danger, but Europe who has very strong chance for self-destruction. In the mean time Israel probably should organize and all Jews probably should support some kind of fund to allow Jews from all over the World and especially Europe to learn in Israeli universities instead.
42. PR is a real war
Itamar ,   Ramat Gan   (05.06.12)
90 % of all the antisemitic actions comes from the muslim world, or is influenced by them, and all this is part of the Israeli Arab Muslim war, they are trying to win the PR war outside Israel, because on the real battleground they make no chance, but a war is not only fought on the battlefield, Israel should not underestimate the PR war, Kosovo was lost from Serbia with a PR war, and Kosovo was the craddle of the Serbian Nation, The hasbara which preceded this governement, gave much better results
43. Victims again
Bertram ,   London, UK   (05.06.12)
Oh dear, here we go again. Yet another propagandist piece of 'journalism' devoid of anything that passes for evidence. To counter Meotti, the UK Jewish population, for example, continues to have a significantly higher participation in higher education compared with the population as a whole. However, the real point of this piece is to continue to proclaim that the Europeans hate us, the Muslims hate us, and practically evryone else hates us. Indeed, if all the antisemites and anti-zionists were to diappear overnight we would simply turn on each other, as in fact we do anyway. I am beginning to think that one of the problems is that we are indignant that our rightful place as victims has been usurped by others. What chutzpah!
44. #39 Interesting...
lol   (05.06.12)
Jews are prevented from studying in Germany. Funny that nobody ever heard anything about that. Could you give one example or is this just an assumption of yours, because some person in the 'Auslandsamt' participated in the 'flytilla activities'?
45. Europe have been our enemy since 2,000 years
Sami ,   New York, USA   (05.06.12)
Europe have been our enemy since 2,000 years.
46. Eurabia is sinking
Laila ,   Montreal, Canada   (05.06.12)
Eurabia is sinking.
47. Giulio Meotti gives the word "paranoia"...
Gunnar ,   Sweden   (05.06.12)
...a whole new meaning.
48. Thugs!
Sam M ,   UK   (05.06.12)
Jewish students are a credit to their communities. They invariably debate peacefully when they're brave enough to step foward which is no easy matter considering the hostility and intimidation they face from the ugly, violent left wing/liberal/ arab mob whose behaviour is perversely a mirror image of the brutality prevalent throughout the arab/muslim world. The contrast between Jewish students and these mindless anti-semitic thugs couldn’t be greater.
49. Sue the Pants Off Them
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (05.06.12)
There are laws in the USA against discrimination in public schools, whether K - 12 or higher. The Anti-Defamation League monitors these situations and legal action can (and should) be taken. But we Jews are also partly to blame for our naiveity and innocence. Some US Jews are obliviious to Jewish hatreds..going long as if it doesnt exist (or want it to exist). It was predicted long ago, that with Muslims moving to Europe, anti-Jewish hatred would increase commensurate. Nothing shocking here. But, there are alumni that can cutt off revenue from foundations and contributions. Prof in the arts tend to be leftists...and will side with the so-called occupied Pales They must not be allowed to spew their hatred, especially violent rhetoric. District Attorneys can prosecute those who commit felonies...or deny civil right of others. I dont have the solution for the problem in Europe..but here in the states, there is much we can do. Remember the Nurenberg Laws in Germany evolved into gas chambers. The Arabs are picking and choosing their targets meticuously., but wil go for the throat eventually. This, now is the time to return their actions in spades..The evictionn notices to Jews in Florida is just the tip of the iceberg.
50. Thank you, Meotti's journalism at its best
Marcus Rosen ,   NY   (05.06.12)
51. Truly blue ribbon obfuscation
Just a jew ,   amsterdam   (05.06.12)
I just love the barrage of obfuscation in this article with the concepts of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel. This is the most wonderfully blatant example of how many politicians, journalists, intellectuals and others try and get you to believe that there is no daylight between anti-Jewish and anti-Israel. Well done!
52. 500000 Jews Moving to Israel is Fine
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (05.06.12)
To Moshico: I understand your lofty goal..but it is impractical. 6m USA Jews will NOT move to Israel, short of a Reich type govt. Israel has 7% unemployment now..guy. and a shortage of affordable homes. Besides, US Jews give generously to Israel..and influence elections here (both parties are pro-Israel). The US gives Israel 3b year in militgary cedits..thanks to AIPAC, the ZOA, etc. but no thanks to Soros and JSt. We loan Israel at cheap rates and roll over the loans. Trade is over 30b year...Be reasonable..the English speaking world should be tghe home of we Jews..with the majority (now) in Israel. As much as I hate Germans born prior to 1925, Israel has weapons, money and subs thanks to the current generation. Lets not cut our noses so to speak. But another 500,000 Jews relocating to Israel...would be just fine. Oh BTW, 300,000 gentiles in Israel desire to become Jewish. Why hinder them?
53. There's about a million Jews left in Europe
Steve from Raleigh   (05.06.12)
about 300K in the UK and 700K in France. Maybe another 100K scattered across the rest of Europe. In a generation that number will drop by half and of that half million or so, perhaps half of them would never leave even when the next Holocaust comes to Europe. My only suggestion is to leave Europe and leave them to their Medieval future. All the thoroughly liberal elite assimilated academic Jews in Europe now who spout "It can't happen here" well let's just say Europe's track record of that is fairly clear. The difference this time is that violent insane genocidal fascism comes to Europe, instead of joining to Nazi parties to show one's loyalty, Europeans will be forced to convert to a weird amalgam of Stalinism and Islam at gunpoint. Many will do it happily and many are opportunists but's going to happen all the same.
54. "Just a jew?" @ 51, what exactly are you ashamed of?
leo ,   usa   (05.06.12)
55. Hatred of Israel,Jews on campus
Don Straub ,   Euclid, Ohio,USA   (05.06.12)
Thanks to Meotti for detailing the degree of hatred existing today at universities across the globe. There is little that can be done to eradicate this blind, warped hatred. Jews and Israel must remain strong and steadfast in the face of unjust and unfounded attacks.
56. Real question: Why do Jews tolerate it?
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.06.12)
Instead of endlessly studying all the horrid things Jew haters say about and do to Jews; let's study the real problem. Why do Jews tolerate it? We don't have to put up with attacks on our dignity and our bodies. We can defend ourselves and make our would be tormentors pay a huge price. We've proven that in Israel. We even proved it during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It took the Nazis longer to crush our Uprising than to take over all of France! We Jew simply have to stop tolerating oppression and exact an enormous price from our would be tormentors.
57. Why not?
peter vojta ,   prague   (05.06.12)
Norman Finkelstein was "executed by Zionist lobby groups and idiots like Derschowitz", so it would be only even to block students form studies...?
58. #19 taylor
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.06.12)
You are the one who is truly lost. You deny fact and promulgate fiction, closing your eyes to bigotry and prejudice. But as tightly as you close them, the bigotry is still there. Pathetic.
59. #44 betram
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.06.12)
You see the UK Jewish population from your own perspective. Meotti sees it, and the Jewish population in europe as a whole, from his perspective. True; we may turn on each other. But that does not make facts disappear, no matter how much one denies that they exist.
60. #47 gunnar
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.06.12)
Kissinger: “Just because you are paranoid, doesn’t mean that everyone is not out to get you.” Sadly, the “paranoia” you refer to is well warranted. Read some history.
