Much of the increase in European anti-Semitism can be linked to the rise in Muslim population, currently at 20 million and projected to double by 2020. Since 1945, millions of Muslims have sought asylum in Europe to escape social and economic oppression in the Middle East and Northern Africa. However, rather than learning from the dangers of intolerance that led many to make the migration in the first place, far too many Muslims have brought their hatred of Western values and the Jewish people with them to the new world.
It’s not just Muslims who are fueling the flames. While left-wing European politicians demand Jews and Christians bend over backwards to accommodate Muslim sensibilities, they remain silent regarding the virulent anti-Semitism spilling over from Islamic communities.
The same Europeans who insist the average Muslim cannot be expected to bear responsibility for the murderous campaigns carried out by Islamic extremists, openly support the notion that Muslim hatred for the Jews is perfectly understandable because of Israel and its supposed mistreatment of the Palestinians. It makes no difference that the vast majority of European Jews have absolutely nothing to do with what goes on in the Middle East, somehow the majority of Europeans, Muslim or not, agree that all Jews should bear collective guilt for Israel’s actions.
Ilmar Reepalu, the left-wing mayor of Malmo, Sweden, a city that has experienced virulent anti-Semitism over the past decade perpetrated by Muslim immigrants, sums up the European viewpoint as follows: “I believe these are anti-Israel attacks, connected to the war in Gaza … and if Jews from the city want to move to Israel that is not a matter for Malmo.”
Reepalu believes the Malmo Jews are not Swedish, but rather temporary interlopers who have more in common with Israel, a nation that many of them have never even visited, than the city in which they have lived their entire lives. Out of 700 Jewish residents, an astronomical 11% have reported being victims of anti-semitic crimes in 2009 alone.
This same dynamic is being played throughout Europe where traditional anti-Semitism is being repackaged as “understandable” Muslim hatred for the Jewish people because of the “criminal” treatment of the Palestinians by the Israelis.
As explained by one French Jew who has made the decision to make the move to Israel, “As a Jew I don’t see any future for me in France. Just put on a skull cap in the street and see the reaction you get. While Muslim girls can wear veils and no-one says a word.”
European Jews are waking up to the cold reality that there is no future for them in Europe, so they are leaving by the thousands. While Europeans may not be shedding any tears for the loss, they will soon wake up to the reality that like the canary in the coalmine, hatred towards the Jewish people is only the beginning. Turning a blind eye and making excuses for Muslim tyranny only serves to legitimize bigotry and violence towards others and when the Islamists run out of Jews to persecute, they will come after everyone else.
