Netanyahu responsible for rise in Anti-Semitism

I severely condemn rise in Anti-Semitism and hold Netanyahu directly responsible for it. I challenge the Israelis to reverse the rogue policies of Netanyahu and see a dramatic fall in Anti-Semitism. 

This is a serious matter and unless the moderate Jews wake up and save Israel, Netanyahu will ruin it and Isolate Israel from every one. The young American Jews see that, and one day they will wake up and say enough is enough. Netanyahu is not a peace maker.

I am for security of Israel and justice for the Palestinians, one will not happen without the other. More about it at www.Israelpalestinedialogue.com, The Muslim Holocaust guy , www.HolocaustandGenocides.com, and Standing up for Jews

The latest United Nations resolution called for stopping the settlements - that is a vote of 161 Nations out of 166, only 5 nations voted against it including Israel and us.  Don't you think it is a slap in the faces of 161 nations? Do they have reason to be pissed off at Netanyahu for the violations, and us for letting him get away with it? This is just one item, there are a lot more violations.

Alon Ben-Meir in an article, "A message to Netanyahu, enough is enough" writes, "This delusionary claim is an insult to European governments and the nearly 1.5 million Jews who live, work, and flourish in Europe. The irony is that Netanyahu represents neither the Jews around the world nor even the majority of Israeli Jews, other than the fraction who voted for Likud in the previous election. "

and, "he brought Israel’s indispensable relations with the US to a state of crisis, infuriated European leaders, embarrassed Jews everywhere, and further isolated Israel."

No people should be victims of others' prejudices and hate. It is not acceptable in civilized societies. It took a healthy  dip after the Holocaust and is going back up again in the last seven years, and here are the reasons that many deny, but how long we keep blaming others, instead of looking at the causes.

The few and the powerful right wing Jews and Muslims are too eager to scream Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia even if you sneeze,  instead of seeing the reality and fixing the causes that cause some of these stinky attitudes.

Anti-Semitism spreading across Europe, says study

Latest update : 2015-02-28

Jews were the target of harassment in more countries across the globe in 2013 than at any time in past seven years, a study released Friday showed, with hostility towards the religious group higher in Europe than any other world region.

The report by the US-based Pew Research Center combined the results of two separate indexes – one measuring government actions that curb religious beliefs and practices and another measuring acts of social religious hostility by private individuals or organisations.
It found that harassment and hostility against Jews, either by the government or members of the public, were recorded in 77 of 198 countries surveyed in 2013, up from 71 in 2012 and the highest number since Pew first began recording figures in 2007.
It was in Europe, however, that levels of social harassment were most alarming. The study found that Jews faced this type of harassment in 34 of the continent’s 45 countries (76 percent) – a higher share than in any other region and against a global average of 25 percent.
“In France, three men attacked a teenager who was wearing a kippah in Vitry-Sur-Seine in March, threatening, ‘We will kill all of you Jews’,” said the report. “In Spain, vandals painted a large swastika on the walls of a bull ring in the city of Pinto in August, along with the words “Hitler was right.”
“And in Norway, the newspaper Dagbladet published a controversial cartoon in May that appeared to be mocking the practice of circumcision.”
The report comes at a time when fears over growing anti-Semitism are causing concerns across Europe.
France in particular has faced a worrying rise in anti-Jewish acts in recent months, with a deadly January 9 attack on a Paris kosher supermarket, just days after Islamic extremists shot dead 12 people at the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, further fuelling religious tensions.
A rise in anti-Semitism as been cited as one of the reasons for 7,000 Jews leaving France for Israel in 2014, according to Israeli government figures, twice as many as in the previous year.
Christians and Muslims face most harassment
The situation for Muslims in Europe was not much better, the study found, with harassment recorded in 32 countries, or 71 percent – again much higher than the global average of 34 percent.
The report cited examples such as bloody pigs’ heads being placed at a site of a planned mosque in Germany and threatening letters sent to several mosques and Muslim cultural centres in Ireland.
When all religions were taken into account, two-thirds of European countries saw instances of harassment by organised groups. In a case in Italy, for example, four men were sent to prison after they published lists of Jewish residents and businesses on neo-Nazi websites.
And in four out of ten European countries, there were reported incidents of individuals being assaulted or forced from their homes or places of worship in retaliation for religious activities.
In Poland, arsonists set fire to the door of a mosque in Gdansk, while in Greece several Jehovah’s Witnesses’ houses of worship and mosques were set ablaze in multiple cities throughout the year.
The Pew report combined the results of two separate indexes – one measuring government actions that curb religious beliefs and practices and another measuring acts of social religious hostility by private individuals or organisations.
It found that overall restrictions on religion, whether social of governmental, were high or very high in 39 percent of countries, down from 43 percent the year before.
Christians and Muslims, the worlds’ two largest religions making up more than half of the global population, faced harassment in the highest number of countries, at 52 percent and 50 percent respectively.
Among the world’s 25 most populous countries, the highest overall levels of restrictions were found in Burma, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan and Russia.
China had the highest level of government restrictions of 25 most populous countries in 2013, while India had the highest level of social hostilities.
