New study: 47% of Germans still think like Nazis

A new report last week revealed high levels of anti-Semitism in Germany, Poland and Hungary, as well as varying manifestations of racism, homophobia and prejudice in eight European countries.

Gee, what a surprise.

The study shows a strong presence of “anti-Semitism that is linked with Israel and is hidden behind criticism of Israel in Europe.”

Before we continue, let’s recall the dastardly story I posted a couple weeks back about the big study done by the BBC, where they gleefully reported that their and other anti-Israel media organizations have successfully convinced the world that Israel is one of the most vile and despicable countries in the universe. According to their polling, distrust and hatred of Israel was surpassed only by countries like Iran and North Korea. The “most admired” country, the BBC poll claimed, was Germany, who also happens to be Iran’s #1 trading partner. What a coincidence.

Now, to continue…

The study – “Intolerance, Prejudice, Discrimination: A European Report” – questioned roughly 1,000 people in each of the selected EU countries: Great Britain, Holland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, and France.

The people were asked to respond to different statements, like this one: “Israel is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians.”

47.7 percent of the study’s participants in Germany expressed agreement – the highest number in Western Europe.

We should be shocked, but this is Germany, so we aren’t. Germany is a land where anti-Semitism is passed through the mother’s milk, a people whose entire blood-drenched history has revelled in attacking, pillaging, raping, and murdering Jews. Look it up.

But let’s not pick on Germany, for if you read the survey you will see that every country that participated was nearly as anti-Semitic as Germany. Germany earned the award of being Europe’s highest expression of Jew-hatred, but it is only because the rest of Europe has always nodded along. The entire continent stinks, and has always stunk of anti-Semitism.

For instance, here’s another statement: “Considering Israel’s policy, I can understand why people do not like Jews” .

This one scored with 35.6% affirmation in Germany and 35.9% agreement with the British respondents. In the Netherlands, 41.1% favored the assertion, as did 55.2% in Poland, 45.6% in Hungary, and 48.8% in Portugal.

So, you can see that these countries that mouth the words, “Never forget”, have mostly forgotten, if they ever believed it in the first place.

Or, how about this beauty: “Jews try to take advantage of having been victims during the Nazi era.”

Almost half the Germans questioned responded ‘Hell yeah!’; the country’s 48.9% result was the highest among the Western European countries. The number for eternally Jew-hating Poland was a whopping 72.2%, just beating out the Hungarian barbarians who clocked in at 68.1%. Inquisition-loving Portugal scored 52.2%, Italy 40.2%, the Frenchies reached 32.3%, and for whatever reason, England  was ‘only’ 21.8%. For this statement, the Dutch provided the lowest percentage, with 17.2%.

I think Europe projects its own guilt on Israel. They accuse Israel of atrocities so that they can say, “See, you’re really no better than we were!” That their accusations are totally false and baseless doesn’t matter. Their guilt is so deep that they will believe anything in the attempt to forgive themselves. And just as Hitler was a Leftist (NAZI stood for ‘(National Socialist German Workers’ Party), today’s anti-Semitism is coming mostly from socialists. And Muslims, of course.

“The new anti-Semitism is spread not just by neo-Nazis,” Heni said, but also “by mainstream left-wing members of parliament, left-wing activists, extremist Muslims and the European elites likewise.”

 

Good luck with them, Europe.

Meanwhile, these same countries vote against Israel every time at the UN, support anti-Israel boycotts, spread anti-Israel propaganda in their state-run medias, and support terrorist regimes around the globe.

 

Never again, losers.

But they will get theirs. G-d is watching and taking names. Europe’s economy is in the tank and they are drowning in a Islamic tsunami that is undermining every pillar the continent stands on.

G-d being merciful, gave Europe a second chance, but Europe has thrown it back in His face, and instead of supporting Israel, has chosen to side with the Islamonazis.

Good luck with that, chumps.

Jerusalem Post (h/t Canaryinthecoalmine) BERLIN – A think-tank affiliated with Germany’s Social Democratic Party issued a new report last week that revealed high levels of anti-Semitism in Germany, Poland and Hungary, as well as varying manifestations of racism, homophobia and prejudice in eight European countries.

Dr. Beate Küpper, a researcher from the University of Bielefeld who co-authored the Friedrich Ebert Foundation’s study along with her colleagues Andreas Zick and Andreas Hoevermann, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday that the study showed a strong presence of “anti-Semitism that is linked with Israel and is hidden behind criticism of Israel, and is not neutral.”

She termed the outbreak of Jew-hatred in Germany “remarkable” because there were widespread Holocaust remembrance and education events in Germany.

The study – “Intolerance, Prejudice, Discrimination: A European Report” –questioned roughly 1,000 people in each of the selected EU countries.

The investigation was limited to Great Britain, Holland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Poland and France due to financial restrictions and requisite expertise in each country to track anti-democratic attitudes, according to Küpper.

Asked to respond to the statement that “Israel is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians,” 47.7 percent of the study’s participants in Germany expressed agreement – the highest number in Western Europe.

The statement is a typical question used to probe attitudes about equating Israel with the Nazi campaign to exterminate European Jewry.

The US State Department defines the comparison as an expression of modern anti- Semitism, as does the European Union.

Given Poland’s lukewarm foreign policy toward Israel, the finding that 63.3% of the Poles questioned agree that Israel is seeking to obliterate Palestinians may be deeply alarming to some.

The statement “Considering Israel’s policy, I can understand why people do not like Jews” met with 35.6% affirmation in Germany, while 35.9% of British respondents were in agreement. In the Netherlands, 41.1% favored the assertion, as did 55.2% in Poland, 45.6% in Hungary and 48.8% in Portugal. France declined to participate.

The researchers also asked whether “Jews try to take advantage of having been victims during the Nazi era.”

Almost half the Germans questioned responded in the affirmative; the country’s 48.9% result was the highest among the Western European countries. The Netherlands provided the lowest percentage, with 17.2% affirming that Jews were trying to exploit the Nazi era. The number for Poland was 72.2%, and Hungary reached 68.1%. France reached 32.3%, England 21.8%, Portugal 52.2% and Italy 40.2%.

[...]  Asked about the reasons for anti-Semitism – particularly in Germany, where there has been intensive Holocaust education – Küpper said the factors explaining anti-Semitism were not analyzed in the study.

[...] Heni told the Post on Monday that “the Friedrich-Ebert Foundation study is based on the so-called ‘group-oriented enmity.’ This is a mainstream concept in Germany, introduced by Wilhelm Heitmeyer, among others, some 10 years ago, to downplay anti-Semitism and to equate genocidal anti-Semitism with enmity against jobless people, homosexuals, women and foreigners.”

He said it was “a ridiculous concept” because, for example, “equating anti-Semitism with enmity toward Islam is an obfuscation of Islamic and Muslim anti-Semitism. We have a steadily increasing number of Muslims in Europe, while Jews – like in the Netherlands – are thinking of leaving this continent due to anti- Semitic incidents and a political culture based on hatred of Jews.”

According to Heni, “the study seems to be reluctant to deal honestly with new anti- Semitism, which is a component of political Islam as well as left-wing and mainstream anti-Zionism in the West.”

He used the term “lethal obsession” from the Hebrew University’s Prof. Robert Wistrich, an international authority on anti-Semitism, to describe what differentiated anti-Semitism from xenophobia and other forms of hatred.

“The new anti-Semitism is spread not just by neo-Nazis,” Heni said, but also “by mainstream left-wing members of parliament, left-wing activists, extremist Muslims and the European elites likewise.”
