Jews are being attacked throughout the West. If governments do not not take corrective measures, they may find themselves without their Jewish communities.
Judenrein and Judenfrei were terms used by the Nazis to describe areas under their control in which no Jews were left—and thus “empty” or “free”. One can see the term Judenfrei in a document from the Wannsee Conference that summarized the disposition of 11 million European Jews prior to implementation of the Final Solution. One might note that while Israel is 20 percent Arab in population, all proposals for a Palestinian state demand that there be no Jew present in it.
Probably one of the biggest mistakes that I make every day is perusing the news websites in the morning. Within just a few minutes today, I gleaned the following:
A 74-year-old Jewish man in New York was spat upon and harassed by one of the city’s many Hamas supporters.
A Jewish member of the Australian parliament had his offices burned down in Melbourne.
Thugs tried to kidnap Jewish children in London while being taken for a walk by their father.
Since Jews first came to Europe after the Roman conquest of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel, they have been subjected to a great deal of abuse. From formal state policies not allowing land ownership to organized pogroms, Jews for two millennia have taken abuse. But Jews have not fled. However much Jews suffered from governmental harassment or local religious persecution, Jews have done their best to live and grow. I could see from my parents and their friends that one of the most painful aspects of Hitler’s plans for the Jews was to make them a formal enemy of the German state. German Jews for the most part felt very connected to their country and were quite patriotic. I have one of two Iron Cross medals from my grandfathers. The other one was thrown by my late maternal grandfather into the Atlantic as their steamer left German port. “If they don’t want me, then I don’t want them,” were his words when he sent the medal down to Davy Jones’ Locker.
The recent explosion of antisemitic activity in ostensibly liberal Western countries definitely has not occurred in a vacuum. The immediate driver for the hatred on display in large cities and on manicured university lawns is Israel’s war in Gaza. Unless one buys into Israel deserving the murder of 1,200 civilians and soldiers, then it was Hamas that started the war. Yet, it is Israel and the Jews who are taking the punishment in the West meted out by Hamas-supporting Muslims and their friends on the left. Any casual association with Jews or Judaism (and not necessarily Israel) is reason enough to be verbally assaulted, threatened, pushed around, or have fake blood thrown on the house, as happened to trustees of the Brooklyn Museum. It is open season on the Jews, who for the most part hunker down and pray that this storm, like its many predecessors, will pass.
Western politicians and police forces have not taken the threats to Jews seriously enough to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators. It would take about ten shoplifters in California to be either shot or put in jail for ten years to stop the multi-billion dollar thefts occurring there; similarly, if those who harass Jews or put antisemitic statements on statutes were looking down a thirty year jail sentence or irreversible deportation, things would change quickly. Like Hamas, their fanboys are cowards. Of course, the hatred in their hearts would not move an inch. But the real threat of jail time and destruction of one’s personal and professional life would be enough to get 90 percent of the perpetrators out of the overt Jew-hatred business.
Unfortunately, much of the hate occurs in liberal cities and countries, and as such, officials are loath to prosecute minorities or revoke visas if the criminals are guests in their Western host countries. They would rather coddle the antisemites than prosecute them. And while Jews will do their best to survive—including hiring guards, putting up security cameras and having local patrols, some will decide that they have had enough for themselves and their kids. I know people who have moved here during a shooting war out of the belief that people hate Jews everywhere; at least in Israel, one knows who the enemy is and the government is actually quite involved in preventing violence against all of its citizens, including its Jewish majority. A potential war with Hezbollah may temporarily reduce aliyah to Israel, but I doubt that it will stop it completely. People are looking around and wondering if they have a future in the countries that their families have called home for generations.
If one wants to know what Judenrein countries look like, you have plenty of options on the menu. There are of course all of the poor and technologically-backwards Arab countries who drove out their Jews in the 1940s. You have China with its totalitarian government as well as its satellite, North Korea. Wherever Jews have set up communities, they have participated in the economic and social life of host countries. Many Jews served in their countries’ armies in every war. Someone once told me of a French Jew who shot a German soldier in World War I. When he went over to the man he shot, he heard him saying a Jewish prayer that one is to say before death. Needless to say, the French soldier was devastated that he had killed a fellow Jew but he understood that he had done his job as a soldier of his nation. Jews play a part in the success of the countries in which they live. Allowing them to be attacked with impunity, especially by foreign visa-holders, is a disgrace. If the Jews one day just pack up and move away, don’t think that you will have a better country for it. Whom do you want: the Jews or the loser Hamas-supporters? In short order, you may have to choose.
THX 1138 says
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were Jews too. Many Jews were or are communists, socialist, Marxists, or believe in the welfare state. Israel itself is more socialist than capitalist. There are Israeli Jews who are out to destroy Israel right now, ever heard of Benny Gantz?
Often enough when SOME Jews immigrated to other countries, they brought along their convictions that socialism should rule their new home and fought to establish socialism in their new home countries. What host country in its right mind wants that?
Just as the minority Palestinian Dhimmi Christians who immigrated to Chile have now taken over foreign policy in Chile to favor the Palestinian Muslims and destroy Israel. What host country in its right mind wants that kind of immigration?
This isn’t to say that all Jews are bad, but neither can anyone say that all Jews are good. This is to say that every Jew, like every human being on earth, is an INDIVIDUAL, with individual character, individual intelligence, individual convictions, individual choices and actions.
“Whom do you want: the Jews or the loser Hamas-supporters? In short you may have to choose”
False dichotomy, false choice. I want SELECTIVE immigration across the board, be it Jew or non-Jew, or a Martian from Tim-Buk-Three, that’s what I want.
Intrepid says
Love the moral equivalency. Some Jews are good. Some Jews are bad. Blah Blah Blah.
Nobody really cares what you want or what you think. You don’t want anyone unless they subscribe to your phucked philosophy. And since no one from your tribe is in elective office fortunately you won’t get what you want anyway….thank God.
Since you wrecked your childish argument that Jews wanted socialism and that’s why they were persecuted, please explain why Germany, France and England didn’t want them because, at their hearts, they were socialist as well. Maybe they just hated Jews, like you do.
But hey dooshebag, keep playing the “I’m so above it all” fence sitter, or is it fence sh**ter.
Sunface Jack says
I am sorry but you are wrong.
I can show you press articles that will show you the Jews who supported the ANC Government. Now that is the same Government who has recently taken Israel to the ICJ for Genocide.. I don’t believe its a genocide BTW.
Then we have Jews like Soros and Max Blumenthal
Then who have Jews like Hasidic Jews who will not fight for Israel
Now how do we call the above Jews? Good or Bad?
Intrepid says
The German WWI soldier was lucky. He died 10-15 years before all the garbage in Germany came to fruition. He most certainly would have been rounded up and sent to a concentration camp.
THX 1138 says
What a stupid and cynical thing to say. You really are a brute across the board.
Intrepid says
I guess in your world it’s cynical to point out a very likely possibility. If the soldier had lived in Germany he would have been arrested and sent to Auschwitz, or Dachau, or Treblinka, or Bergen Belsen.
Maybe the soldier would have been “rationally selfish” if he had engaged the French soldier in some stupid dialogue before he was shot on the battlefield.
Sometimes a possible truth can be brutal. Deal with it you special little wimp. Go cry to Danushski.
I don’t think you ever had a hard day in your life where anything was really at stake. Picking up your books off the floor must be an effort.
Owie says
Son of Sam, David Berkowitz, sorry to inform you was not a Jew, but a Christian raised by Jews. Your Jew-hatred is out of place in Front Page magazine. Your wish that the Jews should give up their Jewishness to share a faith with a lout like you would be laughable if it weren’t so disgusting.
Intrepid says
Not likely to happen.
Raymond in DC says
Karl Marx’ father converted to Christianity, along with Karl. How’d that work out?
Intrepid says
Not good for Christians or Jews in Russia, China, N. Korea, East Germany, Poland, and the rest of the Eastern Bloc. But you probably knew that already.
Beez says
Karl was a boy, when the family converted. Karl couldn’t have cared less about it one way of the other.
YYW says
Let me be so bold as to suggest what the Mr. Bauer (the article’s author) might mean. The assertion goes that throughout history, whenever a country expels its Jewish population, soon after, the country’s economic and political fortunes take a severe downturn. An oft-cited example is Spain pre- and post-Inquisition. Also pre– and post– Islamic-conquest Egypt. Arab/Moslem nations pre-and post-1950, the year in which Jews were expelled from several Moslem countries after Israel’s independence. I’m not saying that the author is correct — you will have to check some historical data. But, the point he is making is regardless of the activities and subversions of individual Jews.: Wholesale expulsion of Jews — including the Leftists and communists and new-world-order-ists — leads to negative outcomes for the expelling nation.
Edward A.Brandwein says
In your dreams!
Emmet Veritas says
Jesus never converted. He lived and died a Jew.
Actually, Jews are a people, as in a nation, with their own language, their own country, their own religion, their own “constitution” (the Torah), their own genetics, their own history.
True, persons can convert to the religious aspects of the Jewish Nation and so identify with them and their multi-millennia history. But, they are not participants in the historical aspects of Jewish nationality. They are adopters and adoptees.
Am Yisrael Chai.
Tony Rice says
It is very difficult to become a Jew, reason it is a burden to be one, a light unto the world. One needs to study for 3 years then be judged and allowed to become a Jew if approved. What a contrast with Islam where your throat is slit if you DON’T become one immediately.
Chris Shugart says
It would be much more positive world without the religious fanatics who insist that we all must believe the same thing. That is the bane of every religion man has ever followed.
Beez says
If forced conversion of anyone is what you’re suggesting, it isn’t the way of the Lord, Jesus Christ. The WORLD killed Jesus, not the Jews.
Beez says
This is the Lord’s way: Matthew 10:14.
jeremiah says
Sometimes I think the world will never work things out.
Can’t really read the comments and have much hope today..
I never realized how horribly anti-semitic Europe is., Some is old hatreds, an awful lot is socialism. Class warfare, shoot the cow. With Christians the hatred is necessary because its demand for individuality and valuing every human is a considerable insult to its doctrines.
They have now brought their extremely effective hate machine to America.
