Can Jews Live In Europe?

This is a question that should not have to be asked in 2009. It is a question that would have been suitable for 1939. Yet today, it is being asked.

There is a rise in anti-Semitism through out Europe. It is not being led by the usual groups that the liberal elites cry about, but by the liberal elites themselves. After all they are just following the example set down by their Muslim overlords.

It's hard to believe that this question is being asked gain, but sadly, after 70 years it has emerged nonetheless: Is there room for Jewish existence in Europe? Can Jews continue living as a proud community, in 2009, in that same continent with the terrible memories? The answer, in light of what has been materializing in the past few weeks – yet not only because of this – is negative.

A Jew can no longer walk the streets while displaying Jewish trademarks, or visit Jewish institutions that are not surrounded by police officers and guards; they must remain behind locks and bars, scared for their lives.

Meanwhile, those who hide any Jewish attributes and assimilate into society will continue to live – until they face an unpleasant situation with their colleagues, at school, or anywhere else in life.


In recent months I visited and spoke before several Jewish communities in European countries, including Turkey, France, and Britain – even before the Gaza operation. During the trip I saw with my own eyes the miserable Jewish existence. Yes, if they hide the Star of David and the unique dress, and if they agree that their synagogues will look like locked fortresses, like ghettos in fact, and if they are forced to experience threats on the street and hear about the growing number of anti-Semitic incidents – well, we can say that there is Jewish existence; scared, embarrassed, and submissive.

But what about feeling secure in their countries? There is none of that.

Anti-Semitism is a European phenomenon, with millions of Muslims sweeping the continent and turning the conflict with Israel and the Jews into a cause that enables them to reinforce their hold on Europe. The global economic crisis is being exploited in order to incite against the Jews and against the investment banks which the world enjoyed for half a century. Yet now, when we see losses, "Jewish money still rules the world," as the South African deputy foreign minister startlingly asserted.

The trend is growing across the world and it has nothing to do with Israel: Israel is the tool used in order to secure achievements. Israel is what the Jews used to be in the past.

When we see, in Turkey or Italy, Jewish-owned stores being marked so the locals refrain from buying there, what kind of future do the children of the 750,000 Jews in Western Europe have? You worked for a country that will always view you as foreigners. Following World War II, you made some countries rich, but now we see a quiet Jewish rally in the Swedish capital being banned because of fears of Muslims violence there. What kind of future do you have in this continent, which is becoming increasingly Muslim?

Continue here.

Where is the outcry from the media, academia, the various governments? Oh yes, they are leading the effort to make Europe Judenfrei (Free of Jews). Why else is this behavior allowed to continue and flourish? Are they so afraid of their Muslim population that they have given them a free reign to terrorize those they hate?


The answer to that question is yes. It was only in January of this year that we saw British Muslims chase British police down the streets of London, French Muslims rioting in Paris, and of course they rioted and shot rockets in Malmö, Sweden.

No Europe is not safe for Jews. It is not safe for Christians either too.

And very soon it will not be safe for Jews in the US either. Will there be any safe haven for a Jew in this world?
