Against all odds, after only 70 years since the Holocaust’s massacre of six million Jews, including two million children on European soil, anti-Semitism is dramatically on the rise in thought, rhetoric, and deed. This time around, however, hatred for the Jews has taken a nationalistic, ethnic character that is supported by obsessive incitement, which uses classical styles of anti-Semitism – both religious and political – and transforms the latter into the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. Together, this has led to daily incitement against the state of the Jewish people, Israel, and also extends to Jewish communities in the Diaspora.
In 2016, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) reported 1,661 anti-Semitic attacks, 240 of which directly targeted individuals.1 Data from the Anti-Defamation League describes a situation in which one in four individuals in Western Europe harbors anti-Semitic attitudes.2 However, it is not only a matter of attitudes, but also of an uninterrupted trail of blood: in 2012, a teacher and three children were gunned down in front of a Jewish school by the French-Algerian Mohammed Merah; in 2014, four people were slaughtered at the Jewish Museum in Brussels by Mehdi Nemmouche, an ISIS terrorist; in 2015, four more were left dead at the Hypercacher kosher supermarket in Paris, again at the hands of an Islamic extremist linked to the Kouachi brothers, who perpetuated the Charlie Hebdo massacre two days earlier. Many cruel murders have, with heinous determination, been carried out against individuals solely because they were Jews: Ilan Halimi, Sarah Halimi, Mireille Knoll, etc.
An anti-Semitic post appears in Europe every 83 seconds on Twitter and other social media networks, like Facebook and YouTube. In 2016, more than 382,000 anti-Semitic posts in 20 different languages were uploaded; in June 2018, Berlin allowed a rally “against the existence of the Jewish state,” which was managed by Hizbullah, where signs with the words “Death to the Jews” were seen. Boycotting episodes erupt at sports events, campuses, theaters, supermarkets, and cinemas; important European actors and singers boycott Israel; genocidal terrorist incidents have taken place in Jerusalem, Paris, Toulouse, and Brussels without anyone saying a single word about Jews being specifically targeted.
A study conducted in 2012 by the German-based Friederich Ebert Stiftung Foundation shows that 63 percent of Poles and 48 percent of Germans think that “Israel is waging a war of extermination against the Palestinians,” along with 42 percent in Britain, 41 percent in Hungary, and 38 percent in Italy. According to a survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), 48 percent of the European Jews interviewed have heard or read charges that “Israelis behave like Nazis toward the Palestinians.”
The growth of the European Right in our time is observed under a magnifying glass in the international debate because the Right in the past has certainly hosted, nurtured, propagated, and acted on anti-Semitism. However, a more thorough analysis provides us with another picture that we will examine: not only the anti-Semitic and Israelophobic Left, but also the Islamic communities in Europe are becoming more and more radicalized.

Why is Waikanai Watch printing this.
What holocaust. Next you will be saying there were gas chambers.
Lets talk about the British and American carpet bombing of German cities and civilian targets at that. Read David Irving, Dresden.
Lets talk about what the Bolsheviks (95% Jewish) did to the Russian Orthodox Christian people, 30, 50, 80 million murdered or died?. Solzhenitsyn said 66 million.
Read about the Gulags. The heinous pathological psychopathic killing was horrendous.
Putin went into The Ukraine for the same reason Hitler went into Poland. To save and protect their persecuted National people.
The Ukraine government has been attacking the Donbass region since 2014. They have taken husbands from wives who have posted pro Russian anti Ukraine comments on line. The NKVD Cheka all over again.
Now we have the fake Zelensky and the Fake ‘Nazis’.
Who assaulted Robert Faurisson and smashed his jaw.
Who burnt down IHR offices?
The truth will end it all.

To answer your first question only: it’s because Leftists are obsessed with Critical Race Theory and in Jacindaland that has resulted in her allowing Mahuta and Jackson to enact apartheid based on people’s bloodlines. We are opposed to racism in all its forms.

You’ve said you’re against the way CRT is being perpetrated in NZ, and it is indeed becoming pervasive. but then you recommend Juliet Moses as a source; a leading Zionist here, who is part of a major organization, the Astor Foundation behind this CRT offensive.

We don’t necessarily agree with all the views expressed in articles; they are are presented to stimulate intelligent discussion and welcome that. Unfortunately most Leftists can only parrot dogma from their leaders, no matter how bad it is..

What I have learnt lately: There is a difference between Khazarian Jews (name stealers) and real Jews. Bolsheviks were Khazarian Jews, not Jewish at all. And brutal. Khazarian Jews organised the holocaust against real Jews and then set up a new place to live in Zion, Israel. All a scam for their ultimate benefit, if I remember correctly. Americans and British were in on it. Both world wars were scams by Khazarian Jews, in which our deceived Anzacs went and fought and died. Khazarian Jews include people by the name of Rothschild, Rockefeller, Soros. 13 bloodline families who only breed within their line. Attached to this group is the vatican, the monarchy (yes the one in London), and American presidents in Washington – Clinton, Bush, Obama (but not President Trump nor John F Kennedy). We have all been had. Time to wise up.

Robin. I hear you. You did not identify the real Jews. The Israelites of the Old Testament were Arab though the religion may have been Judaism. The religion may have proselytised to wherever. The Sephardic Jews from Spain surely originated from Morocco. The Askenazi from Europe and the Falasha from Ethiopia. I dont believe there was a holocaust see Wilhelm Staeglich. The Rockefellers may not have been Jewish though originated from lower? Germany. I believe they were Hessians? I dont believe the Queen is Jewish, you may have info. I am familiar with the Bible though believe it is unreliable. There is a lot to Mystery Babylon.
I am not a fan of any organised religion. I believe we were created and that is a huge subject. Except to say the creation story of Genesis was not the first or original creation there must therefore have been a recreation or a subsequent additional creation. Cain found a wife in the land of Nod and it wasnt his sister.
