The New Exodus

Posted on | January 11, 2015 | 169 Comments

The four Jews killed in an attack on a kosher market in Paris will be buried in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced and, despite absurd leftist hysteria about “Islamophobia,” we need not doubt who is targeted by the real climate of hate in France:

A survey of French Muslims in 2014 found a community seething with anti-Semitism. Sixty-seven percent said “yes” when asked whether Jews had too much power over France’s economy. Sixty-one percent believed Jews had too much power in France’s media.

Jamie Kirchick recalls his trip to Paris last year:

The rabbi happened to be walking out of the synagogue with his wife. After dispensing with the facts of my Jewish background and American citizenship, I promptly asked, “What’s the situation?” Our shared patrimony obviated any need for further elaboration; as a European Jew addressing an American one, he knew exactly at what I was aiming. “There is no future for Jews in France,” he said.
If the Rabbi is right, and I fear he is, then it means that there is no future for Jews in Europe. For France is home to the continent’s largest Jewish community, numbered at over half a million. But it is declining rapidly. Emigration to Israel from France doubled in 2014 from 3,400 to 7,000 people. According to Israel’s Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption, the number of Jews leaving Western Europe for the Jewish State increased 88 percent last year.

The Jew-haters are winning, in France as everywhere else, because the West’s intellectual elite are dishonest, decadent and cowardly.

    So claiming that feminists have too much power in is misogyny and claiming that homosexual lobby has too much power is homophobia? Or maybe its only in the case of Jews?

    Congratulations. You just called a bunch of people you don’t even know, “stupid.”

    Interesting way to introduce yourself to a new forum.

    “I would assume the Europeans are far more leftist than the Israelis, but this recent mugging by reality may change that.”

    Nope, most of the Jews who are emigrating to Israel are reasonably observant and of North African origin. All Europeans and Israelis are more leftist on economic matters than most Americans, but on social issues the Jews who are emigrating will fit in well in Israel.

    As for the food….that’s another matter.

    I guess I did. And I don’t back down. Je suis Charlotte.

    Because it really IS stupid to engage with someone who quotes Kevin MacDonald, and who says things like “Some will, most will have to be forced out or killed.”

    He’s just called for another Holocaust. He’s just called for Christians to murder 30 million people.

    Now look buddy, I don’t for a moment take Islamic fundamentalism lightly. IT’S A PROBLEM. DEAL WITH IT.

    Cut off immigration. Put Marseilles (home of Muslim gangs, the conveyor belt of weaponry, etc.) under marshall law. Revoke the passport of anyone who goes to Syria or ISIL/ISIS.

    Arm the fucking cops, goddammit.

    Issue gun permits to law-abiding French citizens of good moral character.

    But don’t go talking about murdering millions of people, OK? Because that shit happened, in the not-so-distant past, and because when you talk that way, eventually someone behaves that way.

    I knew this POS would eventually spill the beans. That’s why I say it’s stupid to engage him. Nothing, absolutely nothing, stops turds like him. There is nothing you can say that will make any impression on him. So why bother?

    Engaging him forced him to respond, which led to him discrediting himself. Forcing stupid people to reveal themselves as stupid is not stupid in and of itself.

    It discredited itself in its first comment. It couldn’t get more stupid than that.

    It’s not stupid to call out a troll. That’s all that was done here. Your comment is merely doing the same thing, while calling everyone else stupid for doing so. Everyone but you.

    Might want to re-think that strategy.

    Yes, but it’s also important to plumb the depth of madness, to better assess your adversaries. For that, one must engage the troll.

    But it’s ok — I washed my hands with soap and hot water afterwards.

    There are about 600,000 Jews in France out of a total population of 70 million. It’s highly unlikely that any disproportionate influence derived from affluence or representation in the legal profession is all that important. So, what’s the concern?
    Unlike the United States, France has tended to be cold if not antagonistic to Israel and public opinion surveys reveal that among Arab publics, France is the occidental country with the best reputation.
    The blather about excess Jewish influence is driven by baseline antagonism , without a doubt.

    Thanks, France. This is what you get for your solicitude.

    Here’s the weird thing. I sense zero antagonism from American Muslims towards me, as an American Jew. And I don’t think I’m blind to reality, far from it – oh, no, I notice things.

    CAIR – that’s a different matter. But most US Muslims have the same relationship with CAIR as I do with the ADL: zero.

    Yet, the US is Israel’s best and only friend. American Muslims and Jews get along fine, in the Great Satan that supports the Zionist entity. (That was sarcasm.)

    But the country where Muslims show a huge amount of “baseline antagonism” which spills into actual aggression is officially very hostile to Israel. Not to mention expressions of hatred towards Jews (such as Maurice Sine saying he wanted them “all to die) are no big deal. I think this proves that anti-Jewish aggression really has nothing to do with Israel.

    It’s to do with something else. I think it is a proxy for other stuff. Wonder what that stuff would be.

    I was specifically referring to exchanges such as “zzzzz” and “yawn.” What is the point of such idiocy? Recognize what people are, have your say, and move on.

    JMO, just my opinion!

    ” It’s highly unlikely that any disproportionate influence derived from
    affluence or representation in the legal profession is all that
    important. So, what’s the concern?”

    Do you know for what, one of Charlie Hebdoo “cartoonists” was fired in 2009?
    ” […]for making a joke about Nicolas Sarkozy–implying that his son planned
    to convert to Judaism for financial success. The cartoonist was then
    charged with a hate crime”. And also Jews are probably the only ones who are protected by the special laws which penalise negationism or challenging notions of 6kk Jews died, in many European countries. Is listing this facts already enough to be considered anti-semite?

    “Unlike the United States, France has tended to be cold if not antagonistic to Israel”
    And what does it have to do to anything?

    “The blather about excess Jewish influence is driven by baseline antagonism , without a doubt.”

    The blather about excess Feminist, Homolobby, Marxist influence is driven by baseline antagonism too , without a doubt.

    Maurice Sine was fired from Hebdo because (a) he wrote something that was incorrect (that Jean Sarkozy had converted to Judaism) and (b) he’d become a boring old pain in the ass.

    In 1982, Sine said that Jews should all die, except for the pro-Palestinians, after a Jewish restaurant had been blown up by Palestinian terrorists. He said, “I’m an anti-Semite, I admit it.”

    He went on to continue his stellar career, at Hebdo. He was fired in 2009 because he’d gotten dull.

    Undue Jewish influence, eh? Nope. You can be an anti-Semite in France. Just don’t be dull.

    “Maurice Sine was fired from Hebdo (a) he wrote something that was incorrect (that Jean Sarkozy had
    converted to Judaism) and (b) he’d become a boring old pain in the ass.”

    It
    wasn’t the reasons why was he fired. Citing “The Guardian” (Oh. And
    writing in the advance. If you don’t like source find the better one) :

    “The piece was published without controversy – until several days
    later, when a radio presenter referred to it as anti-Semitic. The
    families
    of those concerned were said to be ‘sickened’. Val, who took the
    controversial decision to re-publish a Danish newspaper’s cartoons of
    the Prophet Mohammed two years ago in the name of freedom of the press,
    agreed that the piece was offensive and told its author to
    apologise.

    Siné refused, saying he would rather ‘cut his own nuts
    off’ and was, more or less, fired. Cue outrage, argument, counter
    argument, argument. Was the original statement anti-Semitic? For Val,
    there was no doubt. Siné’s statements, he said last week, ‘could be
    interpreted
    as making a link between conversion to Judaism and social success’ and
    that they spread the old stereotype associating Jews and
    money.”
    It
    was accusations of the anti-semitism that caused him to be fired. a)
    could play also role in it. But b)? Wasn’t he “boring old ass” since the
    beginning? One of the examples of his “humor”:
    “Other examples of the satirist’s humour, cited by Le Monde, include
    saying that homosexuals smell of the ‘shithouse’ and that ‘pulling the
    toilet chain is the only choice’.”

    He probably was only tolerated because he also very rabidly attacked
    Christians, capitalism and he was leftist. It seems though he crossed
    line that he shouldn’t have crossed.

    “In 1982, Sine said that Jews should all die, except for the
    pro-Palestinians, after a Jewish restaurant had been blown up by
    Palestinian terrorists. He said, “I’m an anti-Semite, I admit it.”
    Apparently he apologized for it. And he really appears to be anti-Semite par excellence.

    “Undue Jewish influence, eh? Nope. You can be an anti-Semite in France.”
    Maybe should start with defining what this “anti-Semitism” means. It is similar word to the “homophobe”, “misoginist”, “fascist”, “nazist” with pretty much no meaning other than just empty insult and with purpose of stigmatization. Sine is one of the few exceptions.

    This commenter has at this point attained the status of trolldom.

    I am taking my own advice, and leaving him to the kind ministrations of the rest of the contributors here. They can make up their minds as to who is telling the truth about Maurice Sine. They are as capable as I am of using a search engine.

    The only further point I will make is that when he puts my words in quotation marks, get the tense right. I wrote “fired,” not “fire.”

    That matters.

    (Parenthetical PS. I have to add that the depths to which Jew-haters have sunk really amuses me. They are truly scraping the bottom of the barrel.)

    Are you saying that it is because they are Jews or do you acknowledge that its because they are progressives that happen to be Jews?
    If the latter then their being Jewish doesn’t bear mentioning but if the former is your view then GFYM.

    Mostly I hate the Daily Beast, but this is a good article. The reporter seems fed up with the BS.

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/01/13/jihad-fanboys-in-the-paris-burbs.html

    Life isn’t so bad for the car-b-que boys in the hood. They just find it easy to live off benefits and sell drugs. They really are stupid. And they are poisonously anti-Semitic.

    They’d be at home in Unzworld.
