New York Times: German Anti-Semitism is Now a Muslim Problem

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On September 18, 2014 @ 10:07 am In The Point | 27 Comments

The new Nazis are here and everyone is running low on excuses.

And yet the German police have noted a disturbing rise in the number of people of Arabic and Turkish descent arrested on suspicion of anti-Semitic acts in recent years, especially over the last several months. After noticing an alarming uptick in anti-Semitic sentiment among immigrant students, the German government is considering a special fund for Holocaust education.

But the rise of Muslim anti-Semitism is responsible for the recent change in the tone of hate in Germany. Until recently, the country’s anti-Semitism has been largely coded and anonymous. Messages might be spray-painted on walls at night; during the day, though, it would be rare to hear someone shout, as protesters did in Berlin in July, “Jews to the gas!” Another popular slogan at this and other rallies was “Jew, coward pig, come out and fight alone!” — shouted just yards from Berlin’s main Holocaust memorial.

Talking to Muslim friends, I can’t help but believe that the audacity of today’s anti-Semitism is in part a result of the exploitation of a “victim status,” an underdog sentiment that too many European Muslims have embraced enthusiastically.

The op-ed goes on about educating Muslims on the Holocaust. But that doesn’t work since Muslims are already educated about the Holocaust. Mein Kampf is very popular in Turkey. The Muslim Brotherhood was interlinked with the Nazis.

To an already genocidal religion, the Holocaust was something to emulate. Mohammed was killing Jews long before Hitler. His followers are still killing Jews over a thousand years later.

There’s your thousand year Reich.

The victim status is very much an issue but Muslims feel like victims because they’re failed supremacists. The Islamist has a lot in common with the Neo-Nazi. Except his Hitler is the founder of a religion that continues to expand.

Of course, anti-Semitism didn’t originate with Europe’s Muslims, nor are they its only proponents today. The traditional anti-Semitism of Europe’s far right persists. So, too, does that of the far left, as a negative byproduct of sympathy for the Palestinian liberation struggle. There’s also an anti-Semitism of the center, a subcategory of the sort of casual anti-Americanism

There’s a certain amount of truth there, but it obscures the larger issue which is that Muslim anti-Semitism has become a proxy for leftist anti-Semitism. It was never about the Pallies. Left-wing anti-Semitism, like Muslim anti-Semitism, predates the modern State of Israel, predates Zionism.

The left seeks out noble savages to act out its worst impulses, its animalistic urges, glorifying them and degrading them at the same time. The left doesn’t seem to understand that Muslims are not there to be their proxies, they don’t hate Jews because the left hates Jews, but because they hate everyone who isn’t them. Islam is pure uncut xenophobia. The sort of xenophobia that only the truly degraded who believe that they ought to be running the world are capable of practicing.

That’s what we see with ISIS or with the Muslim settlers of Europe who murder Jewish children. The new Nazis of Europe are older than its oldest Nazis.
