Jew-hatred was learned and promoted in schools, newspapers and social networks. Terrorism against Israeli was celebrated \u2013 such as Islamic attacks on Jewish schools, synagogues and Jewish museums in the West.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Deutsch further warned of Islamic State fighters disguised as refugees. His concern is grounded in European reality; Islamic State and Jihadi-affiliated combatants have attacked and murdered several European Jews since 2014. For example, the French-Algerian Mehdi Nemmouche, who murdered three people at the Brussels Jewish museum, was a trained Islamic State terrorist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cLatent anti-Semitism among the approximate 20 million Muslims can transform into violence, as we have unfortunately experienced too often in the past years,\u201d said Deutsch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In a column last week entitled: \u201cHow much anti-Semitism are we actually importing?\u201d Christian Ortner, a popular Vienna columnist, praised Deutsch for his intellectual honesty, and warned that refugees are streaming into the heart of Europe with \u201ca highly likely hefty dose of anti-Semitism, hatred of gays and misogyny.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cWe have pasted over the \u2018Je suis Charlie\u2019-posters against the anti-Semitic terrorism in the Jewish Parisian supermarket with \u2018Welcome refugee\u2019 signs,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Israel is acutely aware of the anti-Semitic and anti-Western orientation of many of the refugees. One senior diplomat told The Jerusalem Post that the medical care provided to Syrians in northern Israel might help to decontaminate the \u201cpoisonous\u201d anti-Israel climate conditioned by the regimes of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and his father.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In the Rosh Hashana issue of the German Jewish newspaper J\u00fcdische Allgemeine, Juri Goldstein, the deputy chairman of the state of Thuringia\u2019s Jewish community, said, \u201cMany [community members] look with fear at developments in France and themselves remember attacks on Jewish institutions in Europe. But all of them hope, of course, that it will not come to Germany.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Contrary to the wishes of Goldstein\u2019s community, German Muslim migrants have launched ferocious attacks on German soil. For example, three Palestinian Germans attempted to torch the Wuppertal synagogue in 2014. A court panel gave the three men only suspended sentences, dismissing the attack as a political protest that sought to draw \u201cattention to the Gaza conflict\u201d with Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Germany will likely absorb a number of Palestinians as part of its relaxed immigration policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In a Washington Post article, Hisham Fares, an interpreter of Libyan origin, said of the refugees in Vienna: \u201cI\u2019ve met Palestinians who live in camps in Lebanon and now claim they were from Yarmouk camp in Syria. Many of them said they have family in Germany and just use this situation to finally get asylum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Most of these people say they\u2019ve lost their passports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The sad thing is that those Syrians who really are fleeing war will be the ones paying the price.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra, who passed away last week, famously remarked\u2014 \u2018It\u2019s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.\u2019 Sadly, one prediction is not tough to make: things are likely to get progressively worse for European Jews in the coming years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong>Benjamin Weinthal<\/strong> is a fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 710px;\" \/>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\" content-alignment&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; \">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"> twoje uwagi, linki, wlasne artykuly, lub wiadomosci przeslij do: <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 710px;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German, Austrian Jews worried about anti-Semitism and extreme ideologies from refugees Benjamin Weinthal Germany will also likely absorb a number of Palestinians as part of its relaxed immigration policies.
