'Islamization of Europe a good thing'

'As concerns grow over the increasing number of Muslims in Europe, it appears not everyone is bothered by the issue, including an Israeli rabbi who even welcomes the phenomenon...

"With the help of God, the gentiles there will adopt a healthier life with a lot of modesty and integrity, and not like the hypocritical Christianity which appears pure but is fundamentally corrupt," (Rabbi Baruch Efrati) explained...

"Jews should rejoice at the fact that Christian Europe is losing its identity as a punishment for what it did to us for the hundreds of years were in exile there..."


'Islamization of Europe a good thing' - Israel Jewish Scene, Ynetnews

Sounds like yet another frothing-at-the-mouth wacko.
lulz

How long before we get around to the The Protocols? Hmmm?

I mean it doesn't help your case that you'd look to offset the rough edges of your own broken lens, via deflecting with those of another. Were you capable of subtlety, the lesser among us might have believed you were attempting to hide in plain sight. The upshot is, to your benefit, you'll never quite grasp the futility. In the meantime, the rest of us take solace in the reality that, denied national crises, you'll never be more than a frightful nuisance.

If it helps, it's not that the good rabbi isn't conflicted, but that you're one and the same.

In this video, Barbara Lerner Spectre, director of Paideia, The European Institute for Jewish Studies in Sweden, and which is funded by the Swedish govt, says:

"I think there is a resurgence of antisemitism because at this point in time Europe has not yet learned how to be multicultural. And I think we are going to be part of the throes of that transformation, which must take place. Europe is not going to be the monolithic societies they once were in the last century. Jews are going to be at the center of that. It’s a huge transformation for Europe to make. They are now going into a multicultural mode and Jews will be resented because of our leading role. But without that leading role and without that transformation, Europe will not survive."

This is worth noting because she does not attribute anti-Jewish attitudes to long-standing prejudices or the like. Instead she says that it’s because of the "leading role" played by Jews in the promotion of multiculturalism. This makes one wonder why Europe (and Australia, another example) could not survive as a group of mono-cultural societies.

Considering that multiculturalism offers a host of problems with few benefits if any, and considering that if there's one thing that's characterized Jewish society over the centuries then it's its mono-cultural nature, why do Jews like Spectre feel they have to take a "leading role" in the promotion of multiculturalism in the West?


Then the Spectre makes an appearance. lulz

Ever get the feeling you were as superfluous as she is?
 
I know what you mean.
Those Jews play the 'Jew' card to the limit, and further, you can't trust Any of their organizations either.
More objective would be You perhaps.

Seriously? Not only Wikipedia, but far right wing rags and Israeli newspapers pushing the same studies over and over again?

How about actual statistics instead of polls taken in a population group that has a history of persecution and could easily be seeing "boogiemen" where there are non? It is quite common that groups who tell each other that something is true will actually believe that it is true despite it not being factually true. A good example is the Brithers in the US. That people keep reading studies and news articles about a rise in anti-semitism must mean it is true despite it not actually happening to them or anyone they know.. but they read it so it must be true and hence when asked if they think anti-semitism is on the rise then they will answer yes.

Even the studies with some statistics, made by these organisations I mentioned, dont exactly show staggering numbers. Under 700 incidents in selected countries with populations equivalent to around 1 billion.. it is not mind-boggling anti-Semitism. And that was a study coming out of an Israeli University.

Hence my point that this so called rise might be true, but the overall instances are minimal to say the least and hence these organisations and media are blowing things out of proportion for political or/and economic reasons. A rise from 600 to 700 instances is a massive rise no... but 700 instances in an area covering 1 billion people is pathetically small. To put it in perspective.. in the US alone 350 people die each year by drowning in their bathtub. Now I would suspect that there are more instances of people drowning in their bathtub in the same geographical area of the statistical study showing those 700 instances of anti-Semitism, and yet we hear far more about the anti-Semitism than the dangers of taking a bath in a bathtub.

But to be brutally honest, we simply do not know how many anti-Semitic attacks there are.. just like we dont know how many anti-Gay attacks or anti-Muslim attacks there are. Most countries simply dont categorise them. So this debate will go on and on and be based on feelings of the communities involved than actual fact and that worries me. Are we blowing certain things out of proportion and making more of it than it deserves or/and are we undervaluing other things and not giving the correct amount of visibility to a clear problem.. that worries me.
 
Except, of course, you justified anti-Semitism on the basis of this extremist. You fell for everything the number 1 Jew baiter on the forum posted.

Jews are not immune from criticism because they are jews. Jewish rabbis are not immune for criticism because they're jewish or because they're clergy. nothing is above or immune to criticism. And if there are elements of jewish society that are condemnable, then those elements need to be condemned.

I don't care about the OP and how he is. If the story is true, which it is, then the rabbi and his teachings are condemnable.

As I said before. It's a shame that it is because of people like the rabbi that anti-semites will get ammunition against jewish people. It won't be that rabbi whose gonna suffer. It'll be other jews who may not even care about the rabbi or may not even be particularly religious who will suffer the anti-semitic waves, should there be any... and statements like the ones the rabbis make are going to create waves.

What "Meanwhile"?
Both of those are from 2004/10 years ago.
Both unfortunately taking advantage of what was indeed as large increase in antisemitic incidents in good part due to Islamic immigrants.

From Your second link:
..Anti-Semitic acts have more than Doubled in France in the first seven months of this year compared with 2003.

From January to July, there were 160 incidents - the corresponding period the year before saw 75 such acts...

And the relevance of this to the String Topic?
Or can't you post it somewhere else?

Some of our European posters, and you have quoted one, will never believe that anti-Semitism exists. Their hatred of Israel is so great that to admit the existence of anti-Semitism would, in their world, possibly cause some sympathy for Jews. And we certainly can't have that. These are the same folks who couldn't see any problem with the virulently anti-Semitic French 'comedian' (and I use the term loosely).

And so what? Immigration statistics only means people moved from one place to another. The fact that any Jew can move to Israel and become an Israeli citizen is not a factor? The fact that the economy in France is bad compared to that in Israel has no influence? That these immigrants most likely have family links to people in Israel has no influence? They are all fleeing supposed persecution in France?

Study: Global anti-Semitism rises by 30 percent | JPost | Israel News

So the Jerusalem Post is a nazi newspaper? The Tel Aviv University is what.. an anti-Semitic hell hole?

Ooops.
But your point was that there was no rise/it was those Jews fabricating numbers.

No my point is that we dont have any factual numbers. Most of this is based on polls done among the Jewish community in Europe and the US and is driven by "feelings" and not factual criminal complaints.

Now in France there is some records. In 2011 there were 389 reported anti-Semetic attacks and threats. In 2010 there were 466. In 2009 there were 815. That is a decline no? There as of yet no numbers for 2012 and 2013 as far as I can find (granted not looked much), but the point is, that in a country of 60 million, 400 reported attacks is not a lot. Even if you add a symbolic unreported .. say only 50% get reported, then doubling up the amount of actual attacks.. then it is still relatively not a lot.

The numbers come from this EU report

http://fra.europa.eu/sites/default/files/fra_uploads/2215-FRA-2012-Antisemitism-update-2011_EN.pdf

As you see the datasets for reported incidents is at best lacking, but even if you take the numbers on face value you have to take into consideration the amount of people in the individual countries. There were more reported attacks in the UK than in France btw.

If you read the links you'll see many go Unreported. Also, some victims too intimidated to go out much or avoiding certian areas and so, ironically, mitigating the numbers

Yes they claim they go unreported. How many.. 100% more? 200%? Considering the study I linked above from Israel, of the reported instances according to this university, then even adding 200% to the numbers to compensate for unreported instances would not break 3000 instances of anti-Semitism in an area of the world where there are over 1 billion people. There are more accidental shootings in the US..

And if we read the EU report from 2012, then it gets even more muddy.. and it all comes down to reporting and data but it is a hell of a lot better than some poll done among Jews in Europe. It comes down to reporting, data series and definition of what is "anti-Semitism" depending on the judicial system in individual countries.
 
My claim? I am not claiming anything. I am stating that the studies are based on a poll taken among Jews.. hardly evidence of actual wrong doing.

And the claim was for the period since 2000, not just 2010, as the longer period would be absolutely Necessary to show the effect of Muslim immigration on extant Jewish residents.

Another piece of disingenuous/Dishonest BS. Using "1 billion" when there are only a few million Jews in Europe.

I Documented you were Wrong. Again.

I never ever stated that I thought it was a fabricated claim. You are making things up and I did not lie. Fact is there is no independent surveys based on actual facts and figures that backs up the widely held traditional view among the Jewish community that they are being persecuted. The fact is that there are no limits to what Jews can do in most countries involved, unlike there was just 40 years ago. Being Jewish does not bar you from public office, or working in government or going to an university. It did once. Hence that type of persecution is less. That is why one has to question why the Jewish community according to a poll feels that they are under attack..is that feeling based in fact or some sort of mass hysteria type thing? And based on the limited amount of actual factual numbers then it is leaning more towards the latter, but you seem to refuse to believe that.

!
So presented with evidence you said didn't exist, you reply with a Nonsensical and Combative Sour Grapes. Again.

Again you are making **** up. You presented NO evidence that linked migration from France to Israel to supposed Jewish attacks in France. The article you posted only stated that Jews were leaving France at higher numbers than before and it speculated on why. Did they ask every single Jew that left France on why they were leaving? No. Hence we do not know why they left. And I am not denying that some might have left due to feeling persecuted, but that is far from all of them.

What?
Having been totally Porked in debate, you've gone absurd. Posting agreement as disagreement.

What? Are you seeing things now? The link I posted is based on numbers not a poll. Now those factual numbers are not big by any measure, hence the claim that there are masses of anti-Semitic behaviour in Europe and the US is actually disproved by the article and report from the university. In no way can under 700 attacks in one year in an area that covers all of Europe plus the US and a few more countries (about 1 billion people) be considered massive.

So "we don't have any factual numbers", but you posted some in your very next sentence!, as did I on the parallel numbers of emigrants Because of the increase in attacks.
And the claim was for the period since 2000, not just 2010, as the longer period would be absolutely Necessary to show the effect of Muslim immigration on extant Jewish residents.
Disingenuity fails.

And we dont. Your evidence was at best wishful thinking as there was no correlation between immigration and supposed attacks. Dont you think the economic situation in France is a bigger reason to move to Israel, a country that is in an economic boom?

And the numbers we do have are limited to say the least dont you agree? On top of that, they show no where near the problem that Jewish organisations and the polling data claims there is.

Another piece of disingenuous/Dishonest BS. Using "1 billion" when there are only a few million Jews in Europe.

The size of the overall population is important. If there are 2000 attacks in a population of 10k, then that is a big problem. If there are 2000 attacks in a population of 1 billion then that is a minor but important issue. Even relative to the Jewish population in individual countries the numbers are small, and frankly include reports of "saying mean words", which frankly is pathetic that it can be a crime calling someone mean words. You dont get arrested for calling a woman a ****, but you can get arrested for calling a Jew names.

So You challenged, indeed Disagreed, with my claim by making your own that persecution and emigration was the Fabrication of Jewish organizations.
But... I then went on to document my case.

I challenged the fact that there is a massive problem and proved the problematic nature of the issue. It is you that seems to want to advance the idea that anti-Semitism is a massive problem in Europe (conveniently forgetting the US) solely based on polling data done by Jewish organisations who have a vested interest in keeping the myth of massive Jewish persecution outside the US and Israel alive. It is how they get their funding after all. It is always odd that there is rarely any mention of anti-Semetic behaviour coming out of the US and when there are such cases being reported, then they often are quickly glossed over.

Remember Maddof? There was some vile anti-Semitic crap going on in New York, on the Internet and so on.. but it was barely reported on relative to the supposed massive amounts of anti-Semitic behaviour in Europe.

Your problem was, as usual, you were just emptily combative to non-EU posters and opinion.
That's why you oft find yourself in factually undefendable territory and having to try and BS your way through with incoherent posts that are only formatted like categorical response but are empty.

No the problem is that you refuse to see that the whole debate is driven by polling data done by the Jewish community organisations and there is very limited amount of actual factual data to collaborate the polling data. In fact the data that there is available contradicts the polling data.

Now you came with the excuse that there is under reporting of anti-Semitic attacks, which I can agree with based on simple human nature. The question is how much under reporting. Considering that any attack on Jews is usually headline news because of the sensitivities involved and the fact that certain organisation in Israel are only there to point out such issues..then actual under reporting might not be that big.. we frankly dont know.

And that brings me back the Tel Aviv University study that used factual numbers. Those numbers were few to say the least.. under 700 attacks and included verbal abuse. And that in no way fits into the picture that Jews are under attack in Europe/world even with adding some extra cases due to under reporting and relative to the over all population and the Jewish population.

And that brings me back to the lack of statistical facts on the issue, and yet you focus your anger not only on me, but keep beating a dead dog that is the polling data.

How about we stick to factual numbers and not feelings eh?
