Many, if not most of those who are participating in pro-Palestinian demonstrations throughout Europe do not really care about the civilian casualties in Gaza, but are there because they hate Jews
If anyone really believes that guilt feelings over the Holocaust eradicated anti-Semitism in Europe, they are dumber than a rock. Latent anti-Semitism has continued to flourish since the end of WWII. Before the advent of the Israeli-Palestinian conflicts, only the neo-Nazis were out in the open expressing their hatred of Jews. Israel’s war with Hamas has given rise to the latest wave of anti-Semitism. The civilian casualties are merely an excuse for the anti-Semites to come out in the open to express their hatred of Jews.
The demonstrations, especially those in France and Germany, have taken an ugly turn. Synagogues have been defaced. People believed to be Jews have been physically assaulted. Windows of shops known to be owned by Jews have been smashed, just as they were during Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany. Shouts of ‘Death to the Jews’ and 'Gas the Jews' ring out at many of the protest demonstrations.
Being Jewish, if I were now living in Europe, I would seriously consider packing my bags and heading for Israel. Even though Israel is besieged by deadly enemies that have vowed to destroy the Jewish state, I would rather take my chances there than be subjected to the virulent anti-Semitism now spreading out in the open throughout Europe. After all, Israel is the last place of refuge for Jews who are unwanted and persecuted throughout the world.
