Poll indicates anti-Semitism on rise among young Americans
THE WASHINGTON POST
Anti-Semitism may be increasing in the United States as more young adults
express bigoted views about Jews than do middle-aged Americans, according to a
national poll by the Institute for Jewish and Community Research in San
Francisco.
On question after question, researchers found that the proportion of Americans
ages 18 to 35 who held anti-Semitic views was consistently higher than the
percentage of middle-aged Americans who shared those attitudes.
For example, nearly one in four young adults - 23 percent - agreed with the
statement that Jews were a "threat" to the country's "moral character," a view
shared by 15 percent of Americans between ages 45 and 54. And 20 percent of
young adults agreed that Jews "care only about themselves," compared with 12
percent of middle-aged Americans.
Gary Tobin, president of the group that commissioned the survey, suggested that
the disquieting results may reflect "the blurring of anti-Israelism and
anti-Semitism on college campuses" and that "the social norms against
anti-Semitism that took root following the Holocaust have worn off."
The survey of about 1,000 randomly selected adults was conducted in May. The
margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. <END>

Europe's new face of anti-Semitism
5 countries now ban production of kosher meat as synagogues burn, boycott of
Israel continues
Posted: December 3, 2002
1:00 a.m. Eastern
WorldNetDaily.com
One of the first steps in Adolf Hitler's anti-Semitic drive in the creation of
his Third Reich was instituting a ban on the kosher slaughter of animals.
Today, as a new wave of ugly, and sometimes violent, anti-Semitism sweeps
through the European continent, at least five countries have banned kosher food
production, and one of them is considering halting all import of kosher meat.
The latest nation to join the movement is Holland, where the move was guised in
concern for cruelty to animals.
"They simply don't want foreigners and they don't want Jews," said Rabbi Michael
Melchior, former chief rabbi of Norway, another European nation that bans kosher
meat production. "I won't say this is the only motivation, but it's certainly no
coincidence that one of the first things Nazi Germany forbade was kosher
slaughter. I also know that during the original debate on this issue in Norway,
where shechitah has been banned since 1930, one of the parliamentarians said
straight out, 'If they don't like it, let them go live somewhere else.'"
While animal-rights activists have indeed been at the forefront of the recent
efforts to ban kosher slaughter, there is growing concern on the part of people
like Melchior, now an Israeli official, that initiatives spreading through
Europe are gaining popularity because of deep-seated anti-Semitism manifesting
itself in many other ways, from Belgium to Germany to France and Switzerland.
On Saturday, unknown assailants hurled a Molotov cocktail at a synagogue in the
Belgian port city of Antwerp, where riots by Arab immigrants began a week ago
following the shooting of a 27-year-old Moroccan immigrant. About 30,000 people
of Arab origin live in Antwerp. It is also home to a long-established Orthodox
Jewish community of about 20,000.
Several weeks ago, Germany announced a decision to stop all arms sales to
Israel. This comes at a time when attacks on memorials to Nazi-era victims are
on the rise. In at least seven attacks this year, extremists destroyed a
memorial plaque at Raben-Steinfeld, vandalized a memorial in Woebbelin and a
memorial column in Lutterow, and drew a swastika on the grounds of the
Sachsenhausen concentration camp on the Nov. 9 anniversary of Krystalnacht, or
the Night of Broken Glass, when Nazis targeted Jewish businesses and synagogues
in 1938.
German police are investigating an incident last month where anti-Semitic
disruptions occurred at a Berlin ceremony to restore a street name referring to
Jews that was erased by Nazi officials in 1938. Hecklers at the event booed,
whistled and shouted slogans including "Jews out" and "The Jews crucified
Jesus," according to Germany's Central Council of Jews. Paul Spiegel, the
group's head, said he was horrified and that the incident "reminds us painfully
of the late 1920s," when the Nazis began their rise to power in Germany. The
event re-established Juedenstrasse – an old German word for Jews' Street – in
the western district of Spandau after years of deliberations by local officials.
The name, dating back to the 16th century, recalls Spandau's former Jewish
community. Under Nazi rule, the street was renamed for Gottfried Kinkel, a
19th-century poet and art historian who was once imprisoned in Spandau.
Fiona Macaulay, public affairs director of the Board of Deputies of British
Jews, says incidents of anti-Semitism have increased 400 percent in Britain
since the start of the intifada in the fall of 2000.
A one-day international conference on sanctions and divestment in London last
week called for a boycott of Israel "not dissimilar to the campaign which
contributed to the end of apartheid in South Africa."
Of course, it's not just Europe that is experiencing a wave of new
anti-Semitism.
Avi Beker, the secretary-general of the World Jewish Congress, says in the past
two years Jews around the world have experienced the worst anti-Semitism since
World War II, primarily because of the effects of the Middle East conflict. In
Canada, the U.S. and Europe, there have been attacks on synagogues and other
Jewish centers as well as individual Jews, he says.
"Anti-Semitism, showing itself to be the most enduring and the hardiest
manifestation of the racism virus, has reared its ugly head once again," says
Keith Landy, the Canadian Jewish Congress president. Landy said across the world
Jewish people continue to face discrimination, harassment and violence because
of their faith. It is a sad day for any religion when a security guard must be
posted at the door of a place of worship so people may pray in safety – a common
occurrence at many Jewish synagogues, he stated. "Instead of declaring 'never
again,' we find ourselves painfully asking, 'will it ever end?'"
Since October 2000, there have been 300 anti-Semitic occurrences in Canada, he
said. Also, he argued, the current international attack on Israel is clear
anti-Semitism.
Australia's Jewish community is also experiencing the highest level of
anti-Semitism since statistics were first collected 57 years ago, figures
released recently by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry showed.
Council President Jeremy Jones told United Press International there were 593
reports of anti-Semitism in the year to Sept. 30, with incidents ranging from
physical and verbal assaults to firebombs thrown at synagogues and community
centers, telephone threats, hate mail and e-mail.
He said there are dozens of groups perpetrating hate crimes. The main ones are
the Australian League of Rights, the Adelaide Institute, neo-Nazi fringe groups
and the Citizens Electoral Councils, which are followers of U.S.-based Lyndon H.
LaRouche Jr.
The man with the highest profile is historian Frederick Toben of the Adelaide
Institute, who, like British historian David Irving, denies the existence of the
Holocaust.
Jones also lamented what he calls horrific material from Muslims in Australia
and singles out Sheik Taj al Din al Hilaly, spiritual leader of Australia's
Muslims and one of the country's most contentious religious figures. After he
arrived from Egypt in 1982, the government tried to expel him for making
statements condemned as incitement to racial hatred. A Sydney Morning Herald
journalist, Alan Ramsey, wrote that these included comments that Jews are the
underlying cause of all wars, use sex and abominable acts of sodomy to control
the world, and that Jews had a malicious disposition toward all mankind.
But it is in Europe where anti-Semitism is getting the most attention – perhaps
because the Holocaust occurred just a generation earlier in the continent.
When there was an effort by Jews in Switzerland to lift the century-old ban on
the production of kosher meat, an anti-Semitic backlash erupted earlier this
year.
"This is a trend that is very much worrying us," said Beker. He points out that
a movement in Sweden, another European nation that bans kosher slaughter,
attempted to ban ritual circumcision – the quintessential rite of passage for
Jewish males. "We regard this as interference in Jewish religious practices."
Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said bans
on kosher slaughter are the result of activism between animal-rights extremists
"aided and abetted" by anti-Semitic politicians.
"Sometimes anti-Semites will use this as a vehicle to try to isolate the Jewish
community by reaching out to those who are so preoccupied with animal rights,"
he told Jewish Week. "The key is whether or not there is a history in that
country. ... What other issues of animal rights have they engaged in to prohibit
cruelty? When they begin and end with kosher slaughter, that's when I become
suspect."
While the Holland ban offers some loopholes to the Jewish community in the
country, the Swiss ban on shechitah may go even further. The government earlier
this year considered a ban on the import of kosher meat, and the Swiss Animal
Association is calling for a national referendum on barring the import of such
products. A poll shows 76 percent of the population would support such a move.
"It's ominous," said Rabbi Menachem Genack, the kashrut administrator for the
Orthodox Union, the largest kosher-certifying organization in the world. "This
kind of legislation in Europe has to be understood in the context of European
history. A person would have to be extremely naive not to think that this is
linked to anti-Semitism." .... <END>

Anti-Semitism Rising in France
By Eva Cahen
CNSNews.com Correspondent
January 09, 2003
Paris (CNSNews.com) - As Jewish leaders raise alarms over an increase in
anti-Semitism in France, figures showed that in 2002, French emigration to
Israel more than doubled.
On Wednesday, French religious leaders and officials, including four former
prime ministers, gathered for an ecumenical prayer service in a Paris synagogue
in solidarity with Rabbi Gabriel Farhi, who was stabbed last week by an intruder
shouting, "God is Great" in Arabic.
Jean-Yves Camus, a political scientist and spokesman for the European Jewish
Congress, said the aggression "demonstrates that the series of anti-Semitic acts
which peaked between autumn 2001 and spring 2002, and which decreased after the
presidential elections, are on the rise again."
The attack came as officials criticized administrators from a Paris university
who last month voted to end research and educational exchanges with universities
in Israel to show support for the Palestinian Intifada.
Menachem Gourary, the Jewish Agency's representative for France and
Mediterranean Europe, said the number of French citizens migrating to Israel
rose to 2,566 last year, more than twice the 1,156 total for 2001. Indications
from current applications were that the higher rate would continue this year.
"French Jews move to Israel for many reasons, including family and education for
their children," said Gourary, "but one of the reasons they name sometimes is
the rise of anti-Semitism."
Camus called on the government to offer a firm response to the stabbing. The
assailant, who was wearing a motorcycle helmet when he attacked Rabbi Farhi at
his synagogue, has not been caught.
Rabbi Farhi, a leader of the Liberal Jewish Movement of France, "is a symbol of
what extremists everywhere hate: openness of spirit, involvement in
inter-religious dialogue, support for Israel, but also the acceptance of
Palestinian rights to their own nation," said Camus.
On Monday, the rabbi's car was burned in his parking garage.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair sent a message that was read at the ceremony,
urging "people of all faiths to stand together in rejection of violence."
Lionel Jospin, Alain Juppe, Edouard Balladur and Laurent Fabius, all former
French prime ministers, attended the ceremony.
President Jacques Chirac also condemned the stabbing.
The motion to break academic ties with Israel at the University of Paris VI
brought criticism from UNESCO, which said in a statement on Wednesday that the
university's boycott would work against the goal of peace and understanding
through education.
According to Camus, the university's motion was a "result of pressure from
professors and students belonging to the extreme left who support the radical
wing of the Palestinian movement. It is a stupid decision."
On Monday, the Jewish Students Union of France held a rally in front of the
university that drew hundreds of supporters, including officials and
politicians, to demonstrate against the boycott.
Jean Kahn, a prominent French Jewish leader, interviewed on Radio Classique on
Thursday, said he was worried about the increase of violent anti-Semitic acts
even though he felt that most of the French population, including France's
Muslims, was not anti-Jewish.
France has a population of some 600,000 Jews but also 5 million Muslims, mostly
immigrants from North African Arab nations.
Last year, a wave of anti-Jewish aggressions that included vandalism in Jewish
cemeteries, synagogues, and schools also raised an outcry against growing
anti-Semitism in France. <END>

Press Release Anti-Semitism-International
ADL Outraged at Growing
Anti-Semitism in France
New York, NY, October 16, 2000 The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today expressed
outrage at the growing wave of anti-Semitism in France with attacks on
synagogues and other Jewish sites, and called on French officials to "take a
more public role in denouncing the attacks."
"We are outraged by continuing assaults on Jewish houses of worship and other
sites in France. While President Chirac has condemned the violence, government
and local authorities must take a more public role in denouncing the attacks,"
said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "These are more than just
heat-of-the-moment crimes as a result of tension in the Middle East. These are
hate crimes that have a devastating impact on entire communities, while
re-opening deep wounds for the Jewish people. These crimes must be investigated
and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
"The hostility to Jews in France calls for the most emphatic response by
authorities on all levels. This recent wave of anti-Semitic violence threatens
not only Jews, but the very values and political principles that France, as a
nation and member of the European Community, is bound to uphold." <END>
The ADL (Anti Defamation League) made two very telling news releases regarding
the rise of anti-semitism in one nation after another and the rise is related to
the collapse of communism!

"Anti-Semitism in Political Life
In recent years anti-Semitism has become an obvious weapon in the political life
of Russia.
The fact is that anti-Semitism remains an underlying theme in many major
political and public debates in Russia.
Anti-Semitism is so ingrained in public discourse that many Russians are not
even able to recognize anti-Jewish bias
One example is the standoff between President Putin and the oligarchs. While the
public largely welcomes Putin’s battle against the business moguls, some sectors
of the population make no clear distinction between the class of rich and
influential tycoons and the Jewish people in general. Broad public approval of
the government’s actions against the oligarchs, who many see as exploiting the
Russian people, coincides with an undercurrent of resentment against Jews in
powerful positions that has become widespread in Russia since the collapse of
Communism in 1991..." <END>
The bottom line is: "..resentment against Jews in powerful positions that has
become widespread in Russia since the collapse of Communism in 1991.."

This characterization of LaRouche as anti-semitic is wretched, lying
propaganda.
However, I note with approval that one Aussie journalist, Mr. Pilger,
is speaking out against propagandistic abuse of the press. See:
