MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

What the article fails to fully address, however, is how or why anti-Semitism and violent acts against Jews in Europe have escalated considerably as of late. One of those reasons is the direct result of Muslim immigration and their leftist enablers …

By Raphael Ahren, The Times of Israel – “When Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay this week accused the ‘Jewish Diaspora’ of orchestrating anti-government protests in his country, almost the entire Jewish Diaspora was up in arms. Oskar Deutsch, the president of the Vienna community, went so far as to call on the European Union to suspend its accession negotiations with Ankara. But anti-Semitism could also be found last week deep in the European heartland: the editors of Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung considered a painting of a ravenous moloch to be the right type of illustration for a story about Israel. Critics pointed out that this might have been a problematic choice, yet the paper initially responded that ‘a hungry monster with horns has nothing to do with anti-Semitic cliches’ (and only later apologized).

Clearly, anti-Semitic tendencies in Europe are alive and kicking. But how widespread, and how grave?

According to one Jerusalem-based researcher, the situation is dire, and he claims to have the numbers to prove it: More than 150 million European adults have anti-Semitic views, he asserts, in that they believe that Israel is waging a war of extermination against the Palestinians. ‘Numerical data from various studies provide evidence that well over 150 million citizens of the European Union embrace a demonic view of Israel,’ Manfred Gerstenfeld, a former chairman of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, writes in his new book, ‘Demonizing Israel and the Jews.’

However high and curiously justified it is, some experts believe the figure might be accurate. Others who contend that Gerstenfeld’s line of argument doesn’t make much sense, scientifically speaking, argue nonetheless that anti-Semitism has become an irreversible trend that will soon make life unbearable for the continent’s remaining Jews. European officials hesitate to comment, though some say they are stunned to hear such a statistic. The EU is currently compiling its first comprehensive study on anti-Semitism, whose preliminary findings show an alarming number of Jews reporting to have been the victims of harassment.

Gerstenfeld, who immigrated to Israel many years ago from the Netherlands, bases his controversial claim mainly on a 2012 study conducted by the University of Bielefeld and published by the German-based Friedrich Ebert Foundation. The study, which surveyed 8,000 people across eight EU member states, found that ‘around 40 percent of respondents in most participating countries affirm the drastic assessment that the Israeli state is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians.'” Read more.
