I worked for a French company. Wenever we had a new employee, my French boss asked me if the new emplyee was Jidd. For the management, this issue was super important ! Guess why !

Many Europeans also supported the Nazi regime. So why should anyone care what they think about Israel today? European views are not much different from where they were in the 1930s. Time, politics, and laws may have changed but the anti-semitic views of Europeans remain. Anyone who has read the Haggadah must know how true the ageless Passover saying is that "in every generation some rise against us to annihilate us (ela she-be-chol dor va-dor...).

hey, chester, come and get me. i'm waiting.

Can you define "normal Western standards?" Would those be the standards to which only Israel is held, or the standards to which every other sovereign state in the world both holds itself and is held? See the problem?

You know 3 other people were killed by this gunman, but of course they don't matter

must be doing somthing wrong" what wrong did the Armenians do, to justify the extermination of more than a Million Armenians by the Turks ?.

not because Jews did somthing wrong,but because the Antisemite has a compulsion to hate and to do harm,like hitler,stalin,and other serial killers,charles manson,the boston strangler,Jews were an easy target, because they did commit one big sin,not to have a country and a strong Army of their own,but this time when the European and the muslim antisemites will join forces and try to bite the Jews,they will encounter somthing very hard.

...Chrisianity? Islam? Atheism? Mother Sarah B, do you know that J.S.Bach is a German Christian composer.

Born in Paris, I have risqued my life for France in the French Army in Algeriia and I am also a SHOAH survivor after the TOULOUSEmurders I am ashamed for my country France but I think really to get both nationalities(ISRAELI AND FRENCH) in case of troubles for the Jews in France, the antisemitism reminds of the occupated France and the Dreyfus case at the beginning of the past century bin France.

She never said that we were the only ones - just that we have contributed more to humanity than any other group and considering the small percentage of our population to the racist Christians and Muslims it is even more telling.

The articles he writes are for internal consumption only because this kind of journalistic nonsense would not be legitimized anywhere else. To stay united, Jews need to believe they are hated by everybody else. And Meotti, like a reliable drug dealer, provides his readership with what it craves.

The father of a friend living in anada after being rescued from a camp in Poland returned to his former home in your beloved country. He was told that no Jews had ever lived there, the town records had been purged of Jewish births and the cemetery where his parents were buried had been ravished. Do not tell me that antisemitism doesn't exist in Europe, at least not in Poland.

.. don't get paranoid. Arguments can be harsh and stupid sometimes, but critizing Israel in Europe ain't the same as wanting this nation whipped of the earth. And all these comparisons to nazis and the Second World War only make things worse.

You forgot this pertinent quote from the same page fo the book, Jew-hater: "I was born Jewish, but the truth is that has no significance for me," he told a Jewish friend in the early 1970s.

Maybe they should stop doing it then. Paranoia is only when they do not attempt to kill. Europe is funding terrorists and encouraging them on a daily basis. These people state that they intend to finish what the Germans started. Perhaps then Europe is guilty of aiding and abetting genocide - oh wait that is a war crime isn't?

Don't trust the Europeans or Americans a bit. Who slaughtered 6 million Jews during WWII - the Europeans, while their American cousins stood by watching and did nothing. They only entered the war after Japan attacked them. Now they are more concerned about saving their economy by delaying an Israeli attack with prolonged time-wasting talks with Iran, which enables Iran to facilitate the 2nd Holocaust easily.

Grass is the son of the Germans. They love him and respect him no matter what he says against any one. Does Barack has a plan to attack Germany too because of Grass' poem.

Dear Mr's Sarah B. I hope you are not angry with me. I know that your name was fakely used by a rude and aggressive person. But I want to tell you that I fully endorse your comment. Jewish people has suffered very much, and Israel has been endangered since 1947, when she was accepted by UNO, through a General Assembly presided by our diplomat Oswaldo Aranha. Anti semitism is shameful, deserving criminal punishment. As a Christian Catholic, I am able to repudiate sinful attitudes, from priests, bishops or Popes, committed against your people. For me, the Church may be, and must be renewed, through Holy Spirit's help, and I hope it comes true, despite of some bad members and erred traditions. All God's true believers, Sons and Daughters of Abraham, are your loyal friends. We want peace into Middle East, but honoured and secure for Israel, with Jerusalem as her eternal Capital. Arab Palestines ought to accept it and get free from their bad leaders. Hence, I apologize for any expressions that could hurt you. Take me as a friend. I salute you again.

All due respect to Mr. Giulio Meotti - a wonderful article - thank you

Venom never solves anything, only fuels the hatred

and have for centuries. The State of Israel is just an easy target for today's haters.

adequate.

but you'll be back in the USA in no time..Poor Ora wont make it..and is doomed to live with Isaeli's loonies and whine about the Arabs... So what have you done lately to solve your antisemitism problem... After all the world can't be so wrong... TATA
