Sweden: Right-wing party candidate says "Jews can only live as parasites"




Ibb Malmgren, a candidate of right-wing Sweden Democrats party in Höör, was a member of the White Power forum 'Nordisk' in recent years, where he posted various antisemitic posts.  In 2008, for example, he explained that "Jews can only live as parasites".  Though Malmgren admitted he was a member of the forum, he says his account has been hacked in order to make the Sweden Democrats look bad, and that he did not post the antisemitic posts.

Though Expo says they have investigated the issue in 2010, his party says they did not ban him then because they have found no proof that he wrote the posts.  They will now look into the issue again.

Spain: Imam prays to Allah to "destroy the plundering Jews"

A Spanish Imam has been documented in an anti-Semitic rant in which he called the Jewish people treacherous, war-mongering killers and prayed for God to “destroy the plundering Jews… do not spare a single one of them.” 
In a Friday sermon posted to the internet this week and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Sheik Saleheoldine al-Moussaoui of the municipality of Azuqueca De Henares, near Madrid, says: “What is being done to the Muslims in Palestine, in Gaza, as well as in the other Muslim countries — we would have been surprised if it were done by anyone other than the Jews.” 
“The Jews are by nature treacherous and war-mongering,” he tells followers. “The Jews and the Zionists have treachery and killing as their way of life. They are a people of enmity and jealousy, the masters of treachery and betrayal.”

Netherlands: Pro-Gaza protest leader - "F**k the Zionists, F**k the Talmud"




A pro-Gaza demonstration in Amsterdam became (as usual) an anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate-fest.  So much so that Socialists, who intended to participate - pulled out at the last minute because the speakers were too extremist for them. Minister of Foreign Affairs Timmermans (Labour), also dropped out.

Rapper Appa spoke from the podium: "I'm done with these Zionist dogs who are out for our money and blood!" and "F**k the Zionists, F**k the Talmud".

Flemish activist (respected op-ed writer and Hezbollah fighter) agreed: "I'm proud to stand on the same podium as Appa, he's said everything."

According to the organizers "Back To Palestine", the Netherlands is complicit in the Israeli crimes in Gaza and they condemn the position of the Dutch politicians.

The city of Amsterdam allowed the protest, because they do not want to ban freedom of speech. The police required the participants not to say anything discriminating or antisemitic, not to burn flags and not to carry flags of terrorist organizations like Hamas and IS.

Sweden: Jewish comedian says paper was looking for 'somebody to play the insulted Jew' for article on antisemitism


Jewish Swedish comedian Aron Flam says he was insulted by an employee of newspaper Aftonbladet.

Flam says he got a call from Aftonbladet. Before they realized he had answered the phone he heard somebody continue a discussion and saying : "come on, we need somebody to play the insulted Jew!"

When they realized he had heard them, the call became more tense, and then they stated the reason they called, to ask whether he would write something about antisemitism in Sweden.

Flam got upset at them.  Aftonbladet often uses double standards when reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and about antisemitism in Sweden.  He told them he'd heard what they said and that he refuses to be their Jewish alibi.

Flam analyses various cases of Aftonbladet antisemitism, including their 2009 article claiming that Israeli troops harvested organs from Palestinians.  The article was titled "Our sons are being plundered for their organs".  The paper and the journalist who wrote the article, Donald Boström, later admitted they had no evidence for those claims, but that such claims, regardless of whether they were true or not, required an investigation.

Aftonbladet, by the way, denies any employee said any such thing to Flam.  According to Aftonbladet, there's no way he could have heard anybody speaking in the background, and furthermore, he had told them he needed to think about it and only later told them he couldn't write the article.

As Aftonbladet itself said in the past: I do not know what really happened, but I think any such claim deserves a thorough investigation, regardless.

Belgium: Doctors petition for sanctions against Israel for "Gaza-caust"




This is from a month ago, but I didn't post immediately as I thought it would be translated elsewhere.

120 Flemish doctors call for sanctions against Israel, for its war crimes in Gaza.

Marc Van Ranst, the doctor leading the petition, said it was difficult for him not to call what's happening a 'Gaza-caust'.

Van Ranst said that Israel is bombing hospitals, schools and houses and murders and cripples people, and can't expect the rest of the world to see them as good people.  "Israel's historical credit has been used up," he says.

I assume that by this he means that Israel's only right to exist is the fact that Jews were decimated in the Holocaust, and now that Israel is conducting it's own 'Holocaust', there goes it's right to exist as well.

Van Ranst also said, since 95% of the victims are on the Palestinian side, this cannot be called a war, but rather a slaughter and an operation conducted as punishment.

Turkey: Jewish couple stabbed to death


A prominent Turkish Jewish businessman and his wife were stabbed to death Friday at their apartment in Istanbul’s upscale Ortakoy neighborhood. 
The caretaker of the two victims — who were named as Jak Karako, 77, and Georgia Karako, 69 — was said to be the prime suspect in the killings. Police launched a manhunt for him.

An unnamed source in Turkey told The Algemeiner website that there is so much mistrust between members of the Turkish Jewish community and the Turkish government that the truth about the couple’s murder may never be revealed. “It will be some manipulated version of what had happened,” said the source. 
There have been several reported murders of Turkish Jewish businessmen throughout the past several years, but these incidents were either never solved or were blamed on some small local disputes which the community always looked at with suspicion,” the source added.

We have always known that there are those who hate us in Sweden, but this time it was expressed more powerfully, because there were so many anti-Semitic remarks and attacks by anti-Semites that it was impossible to follow. Even among celebrities, politicians and journalists – it was not a criticism of the operation in Gaza, but really hate against Jews,” he said.

Turkey: Paper tells dual-citizenship Jews to "go home killer"



The pro-government Milat daily targeted Turkish nationals from the Jewish community who also hold Israeli passports in its Thursday issue by arguing that since Israeli citizens are required to serve in the national army, they have blood on their hands and are responsible for the killings of civilians in Gaza during an Israeli offensive that has led to over 2,000 deaths since July of this year. 
Milat, a staunch pro-government paper that uses political Islamist rhetoric, used English in its headline, stating “Go home killer” in reference to Turkish Jews who allegedly serve in the Israeli army. The article stated that after Israel announced its recent military campaign, Turkish Jews who hold dual citizenship rushed to “massacre” Palestinians. The paper also commented that Jewish Turkish citizens involved in fighting against innocent Palestinians come back to Turkey and “resume their lives as if nothing happened.”

UK: "You and your entire family, your children, you should all die and burn in hell along with the rest of Israel"


Via Nana10, h/t EveryDayAntisemitism:

Isabelle Hanan lives not far from the BBC offices in London. Recently a large group of Muslim protested against the network's 'pro-Israel' bias.

Hanan says:
Jonathan decided to go out on a new scooter that he'd received for his Bar Mitzvah, and he goes around the roads around here. And all of a sudden, a few minutes after he left the house, I heard screaming and a lot of noise, and it sounded really, really bad. And I went to the door, I opened the door, and I saw hundreds and hundreds of protesters coming down my road. There were helicopters overhead, and it was quite crazy.  
All of a sudden, I think one of them spotted the mezuzah on my door, and with that they started to scream "She's one of them! She's one of them! You and your entire family, your children, you should all die and burn in hell along with the rest of Israel".  
And I had at this point my three other children, the twins are eight and Zack is ten, they were standing in the doorway. The young ones, they got upset by it, and they started to get quite tearful and cry and they were saying "they're going to kill Jonathan", my eldest son, because he was out in the street.  And so with that I realized it was getting really nasty, it was awful, and I ran in and I shut the door." 
The hatred that came across was horrendous, it was awful.

UK: Supermarket strips kosher food from its shelves, staffer explains "we support Free Gaza"



A Sainsbury's branch emptied its kosher food shelf after the manager feared anti-Israeli protesters outside would attack it.
The goods were removed from a Sainsbury's Local branch in Holborn, central London, as it was picketed by protesters who were calling on it to boycott Israeli goods.

The incident yesterday afternoon happened on the same day as anti-Israeli protesters 'wreaked havoc' at a Birmingham branch of Tesco.

Theatre actor Colin Appleby took a photo of the empty shelf, prompting uproar online as he claimed a staff member defended the decision by saying simply: 'We support Free Gaza'. 
Several internet users pointed out that many of the products were not from Israel and instead came from Britain and Poland. 
Mr Appleby wrote that when he then pointed out the distinction between Israeli and kosher goods staff 'walked away'.
Sainsbury's insisted the decision was taken in case protesters threw food from the shelves which would then have to be thrown away.

I'm not sure whether this is really anti-Semitic, or just showing off the utter cluelessness of the cartoonist.


The Swedish daily Aftonbladet removed a cartoon deemed anti-Semitic and vowed to tighten editorial oversight. 
Aftonbladet, one of Sweden’s leading dailies, announced the removal of the cartoon from the online edition of the paper’s humor section on Monday.

The Orthodox Jewish character is replying to a statement by a character wearing a kippah and Palestinian shawl, or keffiyeh, while holding a sign with the peace sign and the words Israel and Palestine. 
The kippah wearer — ostensibly a Jewish supporter of a binational state instead of a Jewish one – is seen saying, “Leave Israel? When my parents who survived the Holocaust went to Israel to give me a life of peace and freedom?”

UK: Guardian reporter whitewashes British Muslim antisemitism


Directly related to my previous report, but I thought it deserved its own post.

The Guardian's reporter and photographer were harassed by Muslim youth who accused them of being Jewish (or possibly used 'Jew' as a curse word for anybody they didn't like), and made it quite clear they did not want Jews around.

This is how Ted Jeory of the Daily Express reports the incident:
A few more youths, all of them mid-late teens, a couple a little older, joined the group. Then one stared at me.  “Are you a Jew?” he asked.  
I’m not. I have a large nose; I fitted his stereotype. 
I glared back at him. “What if I were? Would that be a problem for you?” I asked.
“Yeah,” he said. “F*** off Jew, you’re not welcome here.”
(...) 
Then another (white) man appeared. He had a professional camera and took a few photos of the flag.  The youths surrounded him; they demanded his camera.  They wanted to delete his photos. The photographer was from The Guardian. Their reporter, Rajeev Syal, appeared next to me.  We know each other. 
The youths asked who he was. He told them he was a journalist.  “Ah,” they said, pointing at me. “So you are a journalist.”  
Then one voice, then several: “F*** off Jews. We don’t want Jews here, f***k off Jews.” 
The three of us then headed for the photographer’s car, parked just down the road. They followed us.  More abuse, more demands for the camera, then warnings of violence unless we left. We left.

This is how Rajeev Syal of the Guardian reports that same incident:
When a passerby tried to take a picture of the flag on a phone, one of the gang asked him if he was Jewish. The passerby replied: "Would it make a difference?" The youth said: "Yes, it fucking would." Asked if the flag was an Isis flag, one local man said: "It is just the flag of Allah." But another man asked: "So what if it is?"
 
Notice the difference between "making a fucking difference" and a clear demand that "we don't want Jews here".  

UK: Journalists told "F*** off Jews. We don’t want Jews here, f***k off Jews"


I WAS told this morning by a community activist in east London to be kind in this article to the Bengali Muslim youths who threatened violence last night…and who told me to “F*** off Jew, you’re not welcome here.” 
So let me state her well-meaning view that they’re “good boys” and that they’ve been raising much money for the victims of the terrible violence in Gaza. 
My wife, a Bengali Muslim herself, disagrees.  
She thinks they’re a “disgrace”, both to their families and to their shared community.
My wife is always right.


(...)

It may well be that yesterday’s incident was just local hooligans looking for a cause and identity, and acting territorially on their estate. 
But I think there’s probably more to it than that. They seemed to want a Jew-free zone.

Italy: Jew called 'murderer'


A Jewish man cycling near the synagogue in Florence was accosted by an Arab boy shouting "Murderer! You're a murderer!".  The episode was later repeated a second time, this time with a group of people.  The Jew, who wears a kippah, was visibly Jewish.

The harassed Jew says this is the first time something similar has happened to him in Florence.

UK: eBay UK suggests "f**k Jews" as related term to Star of David T-shirts




From E-Commerce Bytes h/t Elder of Ziyon:
eBay UK is suggesting shoppers searching for Star of David t shirts might be interested in items featuring an anti-Semitic term. A reader alerted me to the fact that when you search eBay UK for Star of David T shirt, it comes back with the related term "fuck jews." I was able to replicate the search myself - and not just once. Each time I tried the search on Sunday evening, it came back with the same hateful suggestion. 
eBay rolled out its next-generation search engine Cassini in the U.S. in 2013 and has since rolled it out internationally. I emailed eBay PR in the U.S. and UK asking for an explanation of how the anti-Semitic term came to appear in that particular search.

Switzerland: Jew attacked in supermarket (UPDATED DETAILS)


Update: 

Jewish news site Tachles reports that the Jewish man, A. Wachsstock, a Belgian tourist, was not stabbed. Wachsstock was accosted by a man shouting "Jews out!" and other antisemitic statements.  The man then attacked, injuring Wachsstock's hand, and it was bleeding profusely.  When he got to the synagogue, somebody assumed it was a stabbing, leading to the incorrect information.

By the time Wachsstock called the police, the office had already closed, but a policeman was sent out to take his statement.  However, Wachsstock says that the police refused to act without a formal complaint.

----------

A Hassidic Jew was attacked in Davos by a 60-year old local.  The Jew reported that when he entered a local supermarket, a man stabbed him and shouted antisemitic things at him.  The Jew escaped to his car, where his wife and kids were waiting, but the man chased him and smashed his windows.

Other shoppers did not respond.

The Jew got to the local synagogue where the police was called, but they said they have no available manpower to deal with the attacker.  The Jew was told the police will come to take a statement, but that hasn't happened yet.

Belgium: Jews hiding their Jewish identity online


Via CFCA:

Belgian Jews are hiding their Jewish identity on Facebook. Some shortened their names to hide their Jewish roots.

Joël Rubinfeld, head of LBCA, the Belgian League Against Antisemitism, says that several of his friends have changed their online names.

Simon Bretholz, one of the pro-Israel rally organizers, says that Jews are hiding their Jewish identity both online and offline in order to avoid harassment.

UK: Synagogue vandalized, "Palestine Solidarity" blames it on Jews



Tensions in the Middle East have threatened to spill over here after graffiti supporting Gaza was sprayed onto a synagogue. 
Police were called after the words ‘Free Gaza’ were found sprayed in black onto the door of the Hove Hebrew Congregation in Hove. 
(...) 
A spokesman for the Brighton and Hove Palestine Solidarity campaign said: “The real issue here is that there needs to be a political solution to the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. 
“We would like the members of the Brighton Jewish community who do not agree with Israel’s policies to stand up – as 150 in Brooklyn did the other day, and many others have done - to show that there is not a divide between Jews and non-Jews.”

Austria: Pro-Palestinans stage protest showing Israelis murdering Palestinian children in cold blood



Pro-Palestinian protesters who staged a 'flash-mob' style theatrical protest over the weekend in Vienna are under investigation for hate speech. 
A total of 35 performers, many clearly representing Israelis, staged mock murders of children dressed as Palestinians. The 'perpetrators' wore armbands with the Jewish Star of David.  
Media reports were mixed, with some condemning the 'theatre piece' as excessive, while others thought the actions were a reasonable criticism of Israel.

Germany: "There's not much to be done if they just think all Jews are evil"



Forty-nine-year-old Uwe Dziuballa has devoted the last 20 years to breathing fun back into Jewish life in his home town of Chemnitz, in the eastern German state of Saxony.  
At times like this, when emotions over the Middle East conflict are running high, the well-known Jewish entrepreneur finds he has to be particularly thick-skinned. 
"The insults on the streets have got a bit more frequent in recent weeks," says Dziuballa matter-of-factly. "I've been spat at a couple of times too. But nothing bad has happened at the restaurant." 
"I walk around with a kippah on all the time, I've never seen any reason to take it off," he explains.  
(...) 
Dziuballa himself often gives talks on Jewish life in local schools - and receives a mixed reaction. 
Many older children are "astounded about the diversity of Jewish culture," he says. Sometimes he must face a class of 14-year-olds "many of whom come from far-right backgrounds. There's not much to be done if they just think all Jews are evil."

(...) 
"We know not everyone likes us being here. Sometimes they show it," he says. 
Dziuballa still gets the anonymous phone calls. They call him "Jew pig" down the phone or to ask him why he doesn't just leave. The abuse is just a small part of life in Chemnitz, he says, shrugging it off. 

Harder to ignore were the attacks. For many years Schalom restaurant was badly vandalized - on average once every couple of months. Outside lamps were repeatedly smashed, the plants ripped out of the soil, insulting graffiti scrawled on the walls. At first Dziuballa was confused. 
"I couldn't understand that someone would put so much energy into actually doing that. I was completely baffled," he says.

Sweden: Jews afraid to show up to rally against anti-Semitism


The two organizers of a demonstration in Sweden against anti-Semitism canceled the event amid fears of violence and disturbances to public order.

Elin Schwartz  and Kaino Nordgren said they scrapped the Aug. 14 rally in Gothenburg because would-be participants said they were too afraid to show up, the Göteborgs-Posten daily reported Thursday. At least 100 demonstrators were expected to take part in the protest.

At the last minute we learned that many Jews are afraid to come, and that there were rumors that people will come and try to destroy the demonstration and crash it to spread political messages,” organizers Schwartz  and Nordgren wrote on Facebook to announce the cancellation.

Italy: Notices on Jewish shops call to "boycott Jewish merchants and their products"


The notices show a picture of a Palestinian boy gagged
with the word "antisemitism" and list 47 Jewish shops (il giornale)

Residents of the Italian capital, Rome were surprised Saturday to see posters that were pinned during the night to the facades of shops owned by Jewish merchants calling for a boycott of the traders as well as of Israeli products in protest of the Israeli war on Gaza Strip, the Andolu news agency reported. 
The posters read several phrases in Italian including "Boycott Israel", "stop the massacre of the Palestinian people" and "boycott Jewish merchants and their products". 
The Italian state media said the posters were distributed in several neighbourhoods and areas in the capital, especially where Jewish merchants are concentrated such as, Viale Libia and Bologna square and Corso Trieste. It pointed out that the cleaning teams in Rome have immediately removed the posters in coordination with the Emergency department.

UK: "Why I’m terrified by the anti-Semitism suddenly sweeping my country"


Hillary Freeman writes in the Daily Mail:
Last week, one of my oldest friends was walking with her young daughter in a north London suburb when she was approached by four Asian youths
Guessing that she was Jewish — they saw her leave a bagel bakery and, like me, she has a mop of dark, curly hair — they began to make Hitler salutes at her
When she crossed the road to get away, they followed her up the street, shouting the Nazi salute ‘Sieg Heil’ and mimicking the sound of hissing gas canisters, like those used in concentration camps. She was, not surprisingly, petrified.
(...) 
During recent discussions on Facebook, I have been called a ‘tribal b*****d’, told that ‘the problem with you Jews is that you believe you are the chosen people and you should learn to act like everyone else’, and ‘the Jews in Israel should all go back to where they came from’. 
These comments came not from members of far-Right organisations but from friends of friends: supposedly educated, rational people who pride themselves on being politically correct and claim to fight against ‘injustice’. 
They have left me reeling: shocked, angry, sad and afraid. I have found myself doubting several friends, questioning their attitudes and beliefs, wondering if they are secretly judging me for being a Jew.

Belgium: Politician understands why Hitler wanted to exterminate Jews (but apologizes later)


The Belgian League Against Anti-Semitism, or LBCA, and the Flemish Forum of Jewish Organizations announced their intention to file a complaint for incitement to hatred against Assan Aarab of the Christian Democratic and Flemish party, or CD&V, on Thursday. 
Aarab, a baker from the Antwerp suburb of Deurne who ran on the party’s ticket during the May municipal elections, wrote on Facebook earlier this week: “I think the Germans deliberately didn’t kill all the Jews so that we will be able to understand now why [Adolf Hitler] was destroying them.” 
Initially, Aarab defended his statement, saying it was “provocative” and intended as an expression of anger of Israel’s actions in Gaza, not as incitement to hate. But he apologized after the leader of the Antwerp chapter of his party, Ariane Van Dooren, condemned him.

UK: MP declares Bradford an "Israel-free zone"


Two complaints were lodged against controversial British politician George Galloway, after he called for Bradford to be declared an “Israel-free zone,” the BBC reported Thursday. Galloway’s calls were being investigated by in order to determine whether they qualified as hate speech. 
Speaking during a meeting with activists on Saturday, the Respect MP urged the public to boycott Israel in response to its ongoing military campaign in the Gaza Strip. 
“We don’t want any Israeli goods; we don’t want any Israeli services; we don’t want any Israeli academics coming to the university or the college,” Galloway said. 
“We don’t even want any Israeli tourists to come to Bradford even if any of them had thought of doing so. We reject this illegal, barbarous, savage state that calls itself Israel – and you have to do the same,” he told the audience.

Netherlands: Hotelier cancels reservation of Israeli family over Gaza war (and then apologizes)


A Dutch hotelier apologized for canceling the reservation of an Israeli family over Israel’s actions in Gaza. 
Mart Muis, who last week canceled the reservation of the Natzitz family from Kiryat Ono, Israel, at his bed & breakfast in Waterland, near Amsterdam, said he had “a moment of insanity” when he sent the email canceling the reservation, the Nieuw Israëlietisch Weekblad weekly reported. 
Muis wrote he canceled the reservation, which was booked through the Israeli tour operator Sababa, “primarily because every day I get angrier and angrier when I see and read how much suffering and death and loss Israel is causing in Gaza. As long as this disproportionate violence of Israel continues, I will not accept guests from Israel.”

Denmark: Jewish school forbids religious symbols, for security concerns


A Jewish school in Denmark informed parents that its pupils are no longer allowed to wear religious symbols near school grounds.
The private Caroline School in Copenhagen informed parents of the policy in a recent letter, the Jyllands-Posten daily reported Friday.  The letter said it was not permissible for students of the 7th, 8th and 9th grades to leave school premises if they are wearing visible Jewish symbols. 
“If a boy wears a kippah, we will ask him to put in a cap so it is no longer visible,” principal Jan Hansen said. 
Hansen said the measures were part of his schools “level of security, which is higher than in normal schools.”  
He added: “Unfortunately, it is the consequence of being a Jewish institution, but it something that we and the students are used to.”

Sweden: Suitcase ripped up because of Israeli flag


Annika Hernroth-Rothstein – Swedish writer, political commentator, and activist in support of Israel – decided to put an Israeli flag on her suitcase as she made her way to Israel Wednesday. When she got off the flight from Stockholm's Arlanda Airport for a stopover in Schiphol, Amsterdam, she was shocked to find that the bag had been vandalized. 
(...) 
“I opened my bag and someone has poured soda on my things, the bag is obviously cut with some kind of sharp instrument, and the flag once stitched to it is now half-gone. Worst of all, to me, is that my siddur is wet and damaged. I have kept that from when I first started going to shul, it is a fond memory of my journey back to observant life. When I found it I cried like a baby.

Germany: Israeli karate trainer told he's from a 'nation of murderers'

It's not antisemitism, it's just 'criticizing Israel'.

Israeli karate trainer Shai Hai was attacked by a group of Iranians and Germans in Frankfurt, Germany, at an international karate seminar last week. 
Hai was the headline speaker at the seminar, which was attended by about 90 people and supposedly dedicated to advancing world peace and unity. He was the only Israeli at the international event.  
When he got up to speak, members of the Iranian delegation and about 15 Germans began shouting at him, he told IDF Radio Monday. “They called me a murderer, said I had blood on my hands, that I came from a nation of murderers, that I had gained his position in the karate world by stepping on the bodies of Palestinians, that it is unthinkable to learn martial arts from a person who hails from a nation of murderers, ugly things like that,” he recalled. 
A female attacker tried unsuccessfully to spill red paint on his clothes, Hai added. Another man tried to approach him physically. He responded with the self defense techniques he is trained in: “In a matter of seconds, he had flown halfway across the auditorium,” he said.

Netherlands: Chief rabbi says he'd leave if not for job


After the latest attack, Jacobs shocked many Dutchmen when he told local media that if not for his obligations to the communities he serves, he would leave, in part because of the anti-Semitism problem. His statement grabbed headlines and generated a passionate response from other religious leaders. 
“No one will tell us when to leave Holland,” Jacobs said. “I’m staying here because it’s my shlichut, or mission. But would we stay here if we were private people? I don’t think so.”

Germany: "There is a startling indifference in the German public to the current display of anti-Semitism"




Prominent newspapers, politicians and popular stars in Austria and Germany have responded to the anti-Jewish outburst with a campaign called “Raise Your Voice,” in support of their countries’ Jewish communities. But Samuel Salzborn, a professor of political science at Göttingen University, does not believe that the effort has shifted public opinion. 
“The official line of the German government is happily, clearly against anti-Semitism, but that is resulting in far too little,” Mr. Salzborn said. “There is a startling indifference in the German public to the current display of anti-Semitism.” 

To many of the more than 100,000 Jews in Germany, the outburst of anti-Semitism since the conflict flared in Gaza has a troubling undertone and has stirred especially painful memories. The Central Council of Jews in Germany has received hundreds of calls from members asking whether they should pack their suitcases and leave the country. 

“I have not heard that for many years,” said Dieter Graumann, the council president. “When calls for Jews to be gassed, burned and murdered are bawled on the streets of Germany, that no longer has anything to do with Israel’s politics and Gaza. It is the most abhorrent form of anti-Semitism.”

Poland: Israeli team attacked by skinheads

The skinheads are simply racist sports fans.  What the Europeans call 'hooligans'.
Two days following an attack on Macabbi Haifa soccer players by pro-Palestinian rioters during a friendly match in Lille, France, a second anti-Semitic has taken place in Poland. On Friday, the F.C. Ashdod soccer team, which has been training in a town near Warsaw, Poland, was attacked by at least 30 skinheads during a local practice game. 
According to reports, the skinheads sat in the stands and started chanting anti-Semitic epithets at the Israeli players. They tried to rush the field, but were stopped by security. The skinheads then returned with reinforcements, and succeeded in bursting onto the playing field, pepper-spraying team owner Jacky Ben-Zaken, coach Nir Klinger, and several other staff members.
(...)

Team management said that some of the attackers had been armed with knives, and that it was quite fortuitous that the situation did not have graver results.

Sweden: Politician says Palestinians are being 'slaughtered by the Jewish pigs'



Apparently, he forgot to say "Zionists", the proper Swedish term for Jewish pigs.  That will teach him.  Notice how his local party spokeswoman puts it: He meant to judge Israel "as a state".

He also supports Hamas, a terror group intent on killing Jews.

Omar Omeirat, Social Democrat candidate for the town council of Filipstad, central Sweden, gave a speech in the town on Friday evening advocating diversity and openness.  
On Saturday he sang a very different tune. 
"The entire Muslim world is sitting and watching while our brothers and sisters in Palestine are slaughtered by the Jewish pigs," Omeritat wrote on his Facebook page. 
"May Allah strengthen those who defend Palestine, and be merciful towards the dead Muslims. Amen."
(...)  
Omeirat quickly regretted the post, and updated his Facebook status to an apology. 
"He never meant to judge people who are Jews, Christians, or anything else," Feldt explained. "He just meant to judge Israel as a state."

Belgium: Rabidly antisemitic poet laureate publishes rabidly antisemitic poem

Charles Ducat, Belgian's rabidly antisemitic poet laureate, published another anti-semitic poem "Ashes in their mouth".

The Jews think they're the 'Chosen People' which gives them a right to do whatever they want.  And they think they've earned the right to kill off the Palestinians because they've suffered in Dachau.

Via Joods Actueel, more at Elder of Ziyon.

You're now better. It's written
in The Book. It can be seen in your eye
when you see them approaching: in fanatical clothes,
dusty, their IDs ready in their hand
You look at them as a creator of water
in a world of sand. They live [here] by chance
without promise, can be swept away
like withered leaves. This is your land.
You have learned to keep the fear of persecution
alive without fear, arrogant as the man who chose his enemy for himself.
You knock him down. You are threatened, the outstanding debt gives every bulldozer,
every tank the right to safety
without borders. Your eyes saw the Temple
destroyed, the paving stones bleed under the hooves
of the Crusaders. You're two thousand years old
was there in Treblinka, Schirmeck and Dachau
Though you have stolen their water, shot their children, trapped
them behind barbed wire, you are simply God's people, chosen exactly on
[this ground/these grounds]. Those who still hear the old village screaming
under your woods, your roads, your cities , get ashes in their mouth.

UK: 80% of Jews feel blamed for Israeli actions


The ADL poll of global antisemitism showed that just 8% of Britons are openly antisemitic, making it one the least antisemitic country in the EU.  But the poll only checked for 'traditional' antisemitic attitudes, those usually held by racist right-wingers.  In fact, most Jews in the UK feel attacked and threatened.  And mostly by Muslims and leftists.

As reported by Ha’aretz, a new study analyzing anti-Semitism in England has revealed that approximately 80 percent of British Jews express the belief that non-Jews blame them for the actions taken by the Israeli government. 
According to the study, conducted by Dr. Laura Staetsky and Dr. Jonathan Boyd for the Institute for Jewish Policy Research, anti-Semitism is regularly connected to particular developments in Israel, as Jews feel they are held responsible for military and political decisions of the Israeli government. 
While they do not perceive basic criticism of Israel as a manifestation of anti-Semitism, Jews living in the United Kingdom say that hostile criticism of the Jewish state is experienced as anti-Semitism, especially when it involves calls for boycotts, divestment and sanctions, or accusations that Israel has committed ethnic cleansing.
(...) 
When asked who the perpetrators of anti-Semitic acts are, the two most common groups identified were individuals who have a Muslim extremist view and teenagers, the report discloses, noting that victims of anti-Semitism “more commonly identified their assailant as someone holding left-wing views than right-wing views.”

Italy: Imam calls on Allah to kill all Jews


Via Memri (full clip here):

In a Friday sermon in northern Italy, Sheik Abd Al-Barr Al-Rawdhi prayed to Allah to "count [the Jews] one by one and kill them to the very last one." Al-Rawdhi, leading the prayers at Al-Rahma Mosque in San Donà di Piave, the Province of Venice, called upon Allah to "turn their food to poison and make the air they breathe blazing hot." The sermon was posted on the Internet on July 29, 2014.  


Oh Allah, bring upon them that which will make us happy. Oh Allah, count them one by one, and kill them to the very last one. Do not spare a single one of them. Turn their food to poison, make the air they breathe blazing hot, make their slumber full of grief, and make their days black. Oh Allah, plant fear in their hearts.
