I can't say I'm surprised that this has happened. For too many years, Europe - mostly peaceful after WWII - has been hit with a heavy influx of Muslim refugees from all over, many of them from French North Africa. Walk down any street in Paris - it's often easier to count those who are not Muslim.

And now Europe's Jewish population is under attack, and the governments of the EU are surprised! I can't see how they can be. Ever since the WTC was destroyed, Europe seems to have been acting as press agents for Muslims. Europe has been standing up for the rights of Muslims, usually at a cost to Europeans. In the UK, more welfare and state benefit goes to refugees and asylum seekers than goes to the Brits! It's sickening, and is surely a cause for the rising tide of anti-semitism in Europe. The Arabs were not happy to just chase the Jews around the Middle East - now they have to destroy lives that have been built up for generations in a more "civilized" part of the world.

If we look to America, we can see all that the Jews have done for western civilization, just since the end of the Second World War. They are the economy, the doctors, the artists, and they invented something Europe could learn from - Customer Service! Put a disinterested Scottish waitress in the Catskills for a summer, and watch her improve (or hang herself - either is fine)!

And now Europe wants to destoy all this by supporting the enemy. Not just the enemy of the Jews, but of the rest of us as well. If war breaks out over this, I know which side I'll fight for.

On the flipside, and it may seem like a bit of a hollow endorsement given the above, Simon Wiesenthal is to be knighted for Nazi hunting. Finally, Britain will honor a knight who has actually behaved like one, and gone out to fight for what's right. And he's not even British!
