Jewish Child and 20-Year-Old Attacked in France

Sadly, but the only thing European Jews can do is to express "profound indignation"...  again and again and the situation gets worse!

Algemeiner: Two young Jews were attacked in France this week, one in Marseille and one in the same Toulouse school where a gunman killed a rabbi and three Jewish children in March of 2012.

- On Monday a young man wearing a Star of David pendant was assaulted outside Marseille’s main railway station, Gare Saint- Charles, by a group of men who approached him on a scooter, shouted anti-Semitic slurs at him, hit him, stole his MP3 player and 100 euros, tore the pendant off his neck and drove away.

-  Meanwhile, on Wednesday at the entrance to the Ohr Torah school in Toulouse, which was renamed from Otzar Hatorah after the shooting last year, a student left the school wearing a kippa and was approached by a woman brandishing a knife. School guards immediately arrested the woman, and she was later sent to psychiatric detention. She did not reveal a motive for trying to attack the student.

-  Since the March gunman attack at the Toulouse school, anti-Semitic incidents in France have increased by 45 percent, reported SPCJ, the security service of the French Jewish community. Eugene Caselli, the president of the Urban Community of Marseille Provence Métropole, expressed his "profound indignation and rage at this unacceptable act of racist violence," according to the Jerusalem Post.

Germany: Bla.la, the anti-Israel on-line dictionary (updated)

Updated February 8, 2013:
Wall:  "Indeed, the victory of the Palestinian people rises higher than the Israeli wall."

To annihilate:  "Israel has been pursuing a scorched-earth policy to annihilate the Palestinian people." (Thanks to Adam Levick)

Elyes Kahn @ JSS wrote an article about an on-line dictionary created by three young Germans.  The dictionnary - Bla.la offers translations and usage examples.  And many of the usage examples are anti-Israel.  

Founding members: Andreas Schroeter, Thomas Schroeter, Patrick Uecker

Here are two examples of how to use and understand the word "greedy":
- Israel continued its greedy seizure of Arab territories.
- In truth, Sharon wanted to seize Palestinian land and annex it to Israel in order to satisfy his greedy desires.

Isn't this a beautiful image?  How could one imagine to explain the word "greedy" without referring to Jews and Israel?  Isn't it beautifully and audaciously put: "In truth, Sharon wanted to seize Palestinian land and annex it to Israel in order to satisfy his greedy desires."   

And to emphasise  their greediness, the following example is:  "And you will undoubtedly find them the greediest of all people for life, (more greedy) than even those who associate partners with God."  Surprisingly translated into French:   "Et Allah connaît bien les injustes."  

Wall:

"The construction of the separation wall violated every right of the Palestinians."

Ghetto:

"This has walled in Palestinian cities, towns and villages and transformed them into massive prisons and ghettos."

"How much longer would the United Nations continue to tolerate the new string of Warsaw ghettoes that the Occupied Palestinian Territory had become?"

"Generation upon generation of Palestinian children have never had a home other than the ghettos and camps that they have occupied throughout the world."

Must Jewish celebrities behave like Dhimmis?

Point of no return (December 10, 2012)

If you'll pardon the Yiddish expression, Jews the world over kvell with pride when they learn that the makers of the film 'Untouchable' are two French Jews of North African origin, Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano. The film has confounded all expectations and enchanted audiences all over the world. It's one of the box-office smash hits of 2012. 'Untouchable' is the story of a black carer 'from the other side of the tracks' who injects a bit of excitement into a rich paraplegic's limited existence - limited, that is, from the neck down.

But the actor who plays the quadriplegic, François Cluzet, has been outspoken on behalf of a Palestinian terrorist with a French mother, Salah Hamouri. Hamouri, a member of the Marxist PFLP, was jailed for seven years for plotting to assassinate the Sephardi chief rabbi Ovadia Yosef. Having become something of a 'cause celebre', he was subsequently released in the exchange with the Israeli prisoner Gilad Shalit in 2011, but remains unrepentant.

 Cluzet has never been challenged for falsely alleging, on France's FR 2 (the TV channel which first broke the 'Al Dura' hoax), that Hamouri was jailed by Israel merely for speaking out against Israeli 'colonialism'. In spite of the main watchdog against antisemitism (BNVCA) berating them for 'disinformation and incitement to hatred', the French media have never made any effort to correct Cluzet's lies.

Where do Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano stand? The two friends are ostensibly proud of their heritage. Their first film was based on their experiences running the Jewish summer camp of Yaniv. They appeared on French-Jewish radio to promote their film 'Untouchable'. But instead of condemning Cluzet's political views, they gave evasive and mealy-mouthed answers. They claimed that Cluzet had been misunderstood and misrepresented. Cluzet is not the first, nor will he be the last, actor to hold anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian views. Hollywood is full of 'useful idiots' like him. Hardly a week goes by without some celebrity climbing on a boycott bandwagon or signing petitions. If Cluzet is nominated for an Oscar in February 2013, shouldn't the media and the selection committee be made aware of his political militancy? Equally, the issue here is whether two proud Sephardi Jews should use their position in the public eye to correct defamation and distortion. Do they have a duty not to let Cluzet get away with it ? Or must Jews who have achieved fame and fortune always behave like dhimmis?

Preaching Israel-Hatred at Norway’s Terror Island

“In 2010 at the Utoya camp, the AUF established ‘the State of Palestine.’ They fenced off an area and set up a separation wall. They gave some youngsters the task of being Border Guards. The General Secretary of the Labor party, Raymond Johansen visited Utoya. He wanted to visit ‘Palestine.’ The guards asked him to show his ‘identity card.’ Within ‘Palestine’ there was a banner which read, ‘Show contempt for the acts of Israel and Free Gaza.’

Norway, Israel and the Jews: Op-Ed: Preaching Israel-Hatred at Norway’s Terror Island Interview with Ivar Fjeld, Norwegian journalist who wrote a book on the Utoya Island massacre:”The Red youth movement invited youngsters from the Palestinian Popular Front of Palestine (PFLP) to participate in their camp", by Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld*

“On July 22nd 2011, Norwegian fascist terrorist Anders Behring Breivik killed 69 youngsters at a camp of the AUF youth wing of Labor – the leading government party – on the island of Utoya. This camp served as a venue to inculcate party ideology into the minds of children from 14 years and up. Later it became known internationally that part of this included promoting anti-Israel sentiments.” Ivar Fjeld is a gentile Norwegian journalist. He was formerly a local leader of the AUF and was media advisor to Labor politician Olaf Akselsen when he was minister of Oil and Energy in 2001.

His book “The Red and Green Terror Island” was released at the beginning of 2013. It discusses the history of what happened on Utoya Island. “I was raised in a traditional, secular Norwegian family. Until 2004 when I re-discovered our Christian origins, I was an admirer of Yasser Arafat. We were however, always moderates and never believed that violence should be used as a political tool. At a certain point in 2006, the AUF broke away from its moderate traditions and turned sharply left. “The AUF owns Utoya Island and its facilities. As a local AUF leader, I participated in this camp in 1986 and 1987. Even at that time there were Palestinian participants. They used drugs and shared them with Norwegian youngsters. We complained about it to then-Labor Youth Secretary General Mr. Stale Dokken, but he and his colleagues preferred to hush it up. “At that time, Jens Stoltenberg, the current Norwegian Prime Minister was head of AUF. He must have been aware that Palestinian ‘guests’ were smoking pot on the island, and offering drugs to 14-15 year old Labor Youth members. In my 2006 book "From Atheism to Christian Faith", I mentioned this drug scandal.

Copenhagen, headmistress recommeds Jewish kids go to school with fewer Muslims

Norway, Israel and the Jews:

Aftenposten 2013/01/29, by Sofie Gran

Summary: On anti-Semitism in Denmark, reaching unacceptable levels in schools, making headmasters recommend Jewish students move to schools with fewer Muslims.

The image chosen to highlight this article depicts Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen of the Danish “Enhedslisten” party, a party on the extreme left, having made numerous anti-Israeli statements, talking to students.

In Brussels for a Jewish school in downtown Brussels, it’s relocate or shut down.  The school looks like a bunker.  Surely a nice environment for children.

French writer: Israel knew of plans to kill Sadat and did nothing

"In their [Israelis] eyes, Yasser Arafat embodied Palestine, and Palestine is an obscene word in their eyes." Gérard de Villiers

The New York Times interviewed Gérard de Villiers, the French author of the best-selling S.A.S. espionage series. Unsurprisingly he had to claim that Israel knew that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was going to be murdered and did nothing about it. A truly appalling and unsubstantiated accusation:

"In 1980, he wrote a novel in which militant Islamists murder the Egyptian president, Anwar Sadat, a year before the actual assassination took place. When I asked him about it, de Villiers responded with a Gallic shrug. “The Israelis knew it was going to happen,” he said, “and did nothing.”"

De Villiers, wrote an conspirational Israel-bashing piece in Atlantico, a conservative French news site, about Arafat's "poisoning". This is a translation of what he wrote:

"The discovery by a Swiss scientific laboratory of polonium-210 traces on clothes that belonged to Yasser Arafat only strengthens the rumours that have been circulating among the intelligence community since his death to the effect that the Israeli Secret Services assassinated the old Palestinian leader. Obviously, there is no evidence and there may never be any. However, several factors argue in favor of this thesis. Foremost the blind hatred, which can verge on the irrational, rooted at the heart of the Israeli leadership. Somewhat comparable to the hatred the United States feels towards Iran since the hostage taking at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979.

Israelis have never considered the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) as a possible partner, but as a ennemy. They did everything to kill it off. Including contributing significantly to the birth of Hamas, with a view to weaken the PLO. From their point of view, they have succeeded by splitting the two Palestinian movements, but in the process they created a new and much more determined ennemy. When they besieged Arafat in his Ramallah headquarters, they clealy tried to kill him, by shooting directly at him. In their eyes, Yasser Arafat embodied Palestine, and Palestine is an obscene word in their eyes. He had to disappear. Despite all his faults, the old leader was still an icon. The physical elimination of political opponents is a constant and official dogma of Israeli policy. Israel is the only country that officially maintains a brigade of assassins, the kinodim. A special Mossad unit with professional assassins. There are around sixty of them including a dozen women. They are the official executioners of the State of Israel. When they kill they do not break the law. They carry out a sentence issued by the "war cabinet" and the Prime Minister. Such a sentence must relate to a person who is a danger to Israel. They have killed mostly PLO and Hamas executives. And they made a few mistakes. In Norway, Lillehammer, they killed an innocent waiter by mistaking him for a terrorist, Abu Nidal. [...]"

Back to Arafat's "poisoning":

"There is nothing surprising about their use of poison. I met in Amman, Jordan, Khaled Mashal, when he was only the Hamas spokesman and two Mossad kidonim had tried to poison him by shooting a deadly gas at him with a gun. Another example: the Mossad has for a long time used a "home" product, a toothpaste laced with Thallium. It is a highly toxic slow-killing substance. The "target" is poisoned every morning while brushing his teeth .... As to Arafat, it has been stressed that he did not show symptoms caused by polonium-210 similar to those of Litvinenko when he was poisoned in London by the Russian Secret Services. They disregard the fact that Litvinenko had received a strong dose fit to kill a herd of elephants ... The Israelis are far more subtle. A much lower dose is sufficient to kill. One last point: there is no doubt that Mossad would have access to polonium-210 designed to trigger nukes which Israel has."

Not to be gay-friendly in Paris is like wearing an SS uniform in Israel
