France: "I'd love to grab those little Jewish girls by their pigtails before killing them"


Via France24:
Nemmouche made more headlines recently following reports that two former hostages, Nicolas Hénin and Didier François, had identified Nemmouche as one of their captors when they were being held by jihadists in Syria. 
(...) 
François told Europe 1 radio on Monday: “Throughout our detention there was an anti-Semitic obsession [from Nemmouche], he wanted to replicate or outdo Merah, who was a sort of model for him.” 
The former hostage also said that Nemmouche described himself as “a young criminal who had been transformed into an ethnic cleanser”

Via Philosémitisme Blog and Libération:

Nemmouche further told François that "Mohamed Merah was the greatest Frenchman France has ever produced" and that he "would love to grab those little Jewish girls by their pigtails before killing them".  This is exactly what Merah did, as he chased little Jewish kids around the school playground and shot them to death.

According to the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities (SCoJeC), around a dozen antisemitic incidents were recorded in the first week of August - almost as many as in the whole of 2013 - including graffiti on synagogues and threatening messages. 
The organisation said a "disproportionate obsession with Israel in Scottish public life" had led to Jews no longer feeling safe wearing kippot or Star of David jewellery. 
It added: "A number of people have said they no longer feel welcome in Scotland and are actively considering moving to Israel."

Slovakia: Catholic priest blames Jews for Holocaust


A Catholic priest in Slovakia sparked outrage by blaming the Jews for the hatred against them during the Holocaust and warned the Roma are following suit. 
Emil Floris leveled the accusation last month during a ceremony in Cadca, located 120 miles northeast of the capital Bratislava, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising against Nazi Germany and the collaborationist government. 
“From all over Europe, they took the Jews to concentration camps. And do you know why? Because there was hatred toward them, but those who are hated often do it to themselves,” Floriš said, according to the news website zpravy.e15.cz.

Europe demands Israel hand over Golan Heights to Syria immediately

Otherwise, I can't understand why now, of all times, the European Commission decided to boycott all Israeli milk and poultry products coming from the Golan Heights.

The Golan Heights was conquered by Israel during the Six Day War (1967) and later annexed.  The Syrian Golan is currently experiencing heavy warfare between Assad's forces and joint rebel forces.

France: Dieudonné says 'Rothschild Mafia' led uproar over journalist's beheading



Via France24:
A controversial French comedian is under investigation for condoning terrorism after comparing the murder of US journalist James Foley by Islamist militants to the beheadings of the French Revolution, saying they symbolise “progress". 
(...) 
In the video, titled "Foley That Was", Dieudonné noted that the 2011 killing of ex-Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and that of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, who was hanged in 2006, never aroused the same indignation as Foley's death. 
"The Rothschild Mafia says no, that's OK – but James Foley, that's too much," Dieudonné says, an apparent but unexplained reference to the prominent Jewish banking family.

Netherlands: Jew attacked during interview about antisemitism


Fabrice Schomberg, a Jewish resident of the Hague, was attacked while being interviewed about previous antisemitic incidents.

He tells his story here:
Yesterday the EO 3onderzoekt program on NED3 filmed me walking from my home in Schilderswijk, Den Haag to the Haagse Markt to buy groceries for the Kiddush, the evening Shabbat meal. 
It has been a while since I have been walking around with a kippah in the neighbourhood, since in the past I have been pestered a few times and I am no longer as religious as I was so I don’t wear it in the street anymore. However the television crew interviewed a few people that said that there is no problem in the neighbourhood and I said that I can get harassed if I walk with a Kippah, so to prove my point, the television crew wanted me to walk with my kipa on to the Market, so I did, a few seconds after walking out of the hofje of which I live in we hear kankerjood (cancer Jew) [ed: f**king Jew] from a group of youngsters, it seems they followed us to another square on the way to the market and shouted more things like this and one guy drove his scooter on the pavement and tried to run me down and kick me, I had to move away from him and it was filmed by the television crew, so when I came back I called the police, they came over and today I'll be filing a complaint.

War ends, antisemitism drops

Over the past few days I haven't blogged much.  The reason being is that there isn't much to blog.  Jews aren't being attacked, nobody is calling to "kill the Jews" on the streets and in the mosques.

Anti-Zionistst claim that there's no connection between antisemitism and anti-Zionism.  They say that criticism of Israel is not antisemitism.

They are right that criticism of Israel is not antisemitism. But what has been going on over the past month was not 'criticism of Israel'.

This week there were big rallies against antisemitism in Sweden and in the UK.  In both these countries, politicians spoke harshly against antisemitism, and that's a good thing.  But those politicians should look carefully at how they handled themselves.  Did they demand Israel stop fighting against a terrorist force that was shooting rockets at unarmed civilians?  Did they say that Hamas rockets are not a threat, because Israelis are able to protect themselves?  Did they demand Hamas disarm?

Did they pose the same demands to Israel as they do to any other country in the same situation?
